All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

Alita Battle Angel Movie Poster

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

Longstride?

Last week I took an unscheduled break from the site. I am not sure why but I just couldn’t get anything written. First on Monday I didn’t do a review and then on Tuesday when I tried to my brain just wouldn’t let me. It was just resisting thought for some reason. It didn’t literally… […]

It’s Good

Look at me. The most anticipated movie of the summer comes out and I am taking my sweet sweet time to tell you about it. I am such a cruel creature. I was originally going to start this post by telling you I saw some unknown indie flick and go off into a review of… […]

I don’t think I’m That Crazy

When I was on the way to the Eddie Izzard show I picked up a pack of Gummie Bears to munch on the way. While I was driving I would pop one or two in my mouth. Their gummy sugary goodness fulfilling some craving I haven’t felt in a while. After a few I was… […]

Badgers can be choosers

There is no movie review today because I didn’t see one. I was treated to seeing Eddie Izzard instead. I saw him Saturday night at his second show in Toronto, the first stop on his Canadian comedy tour. I have to say I enjoyed myself. Even though I know of Eddie Izzard, I had… …more

I Enjoyed It

I know I know this is so late. You have been continuously clicking back to this page for the last couple of days anticipating this post. Haven’t you? I am sorry to have kept you waiting. I was a little bit busy. It is hard to believe but every once in a while I still… […]

Gleek? No

Last night I didn’t change the channel fast enough and ended up watching an episode of “Glee”. It was the third episode I have watched and the most enjoyable. But I don’t think it has anything to do with the story or acting but it comes down to the music that was chosen for the… […]

Well it was…you know

On Friday I headed to the theatre to see the beginning of the summer blockbuster rush. I know you might say it started with Clash of the Titans (2010) but I don’t think it did. I think it was released that early because the makers knew it would not fair well against any other big… […]

Upside-Down

For a few weeks I was having problems sleeping. I would go to bed and stare at the ceiling or out the window or the inside of my eye lids. It is frustrating not being able to sleep. I just felt like I was wasting time. Even though I don’t go to bed early in… […]

Am I Alone

I just wanted to ask a HUGE question. Here goes. Am I alone in seeing, hearing, dealing with Stupid people? I am not speaking of anyone associated within just incase anyone should question and I am not going to name names for the sake of privacy. I was just curious. I deal with… …more

Untitlable.

This weekend I took in a bunch of new movies. Well one actually new movie and 4 new-to-me movies. Out of the 5 movies only 3 are worth a review, the other 2 are so pointless that I don’t want to waste any more of my time or your time with them. …more
