I recently finished watched Netflix’s fantastic new show Stranger Things and even though I feel like it’s been talked to death online, I wanted to write about it. I feel like modern critical discussion comes in waves and right now the show is in the trough between the crests of extreme adulation and critical backlash. Maybe…
Earlier this year when the trailer for Id’s DOOM reboot/sequel hit the web, I didn’t think much about it. The last DOOM game that I played the was SNES port that came out way back in the day. I’m not the biggest First-Person Shooter fan in the world, though it does seem that’s the majority…
Yup, it’s the farting corpse movie. For those who haven’t heard of Swiss Army Man: This is a movie about a farting corpse. Directed by Daniels (Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert), in addition to starring 2 Dans, the movie’s plot involves a man, Hank, who has been stranded on a deserted island for some time. Played…
Twenty years to make an amazing movie, and this is what they came up with. Long story short, the movie was a spectacle, had some exciting moments, but was greatly flawed and ultimately pointless. I’m going to get into SPOILERS here, but honestly, you can probably guess every plot point in this movie, so what’s…
When watching a movie like Warcraft, one can’t help but compare it to the best fantasy films that have come before. Lord of the Rings is the natural standard bearer when it comes to great fantasy movies, but it really is unfair to compare the two. Lord of the Rings, while taking place in a…
I’m unabashedly a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanboy, as anyone who’s seen my tattoo can attest to. The 1990 movie is as quality a movie as one could possibly ask for, the 2nd live action movie was dumb but still fun, the less said about the 3rd live action movie the better, but the cartoon…
So guess what came out today? A “teaser trailer” for The Magnificent Seven! Take a look: That movie looks like it could be kind of fun! It’s got Denzel and Pratt and Hawke and they’re cowboys! Neat! It almost certainly won’t be as quality as The Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen from 1960,…
Like many of you, I went to see Batman v Superman over the weekend. And, overall, I liked it. Many critics have been tearing into it, and while it certainly had some very stupid moments and things that made little to no sense, and also could have been 30 minutes shorter, overall I had a good…
Oh, it’s John Goodman. That may sound like a cheap shot at his size, but it’s really not. Yes, he is a large man, a very large man, but that’s an important aspect of his character in this movie. He is overwhelmingly intimidating, and you feel like he could crush both of the people in…
After all the controversy, all the pitchfork-wielding, all the worry and fear, the first real glimpse at Ghostbusters is here: OK, let’s all take a quick breath. That was a lot to take in, and we all knew it wasn’t going to be the same as the original, we knew that. So everyone unclench their…
Oh man, this show gave me a couple shivers. My time in retail wasn’t exactly this experience, as I spent my time working in a Blockbuster as opposed to a Walmart, but some of the situations on this show gave me Nam-style flashbacks. I admit that I dismissed this show when it first joined the NBC…
A kid confronts a wanted outlaw in the unforgiving west.
