Batman & Robin seemingly killed the franchise with just two words: Bat Nipples. But in 2005, Christopher Nolan managed to ressurect the dead. While I have a couple of problems with it (I have a...

“This Is My Life Now. I Earned It. You Had Yours Already.”
My love for Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been well-documented on this blog — he was a big motivator in seeing movies like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Stop-Loss, and he’s pretty much the only reason I...

“You’re Either SWAT or You’re Not.”
It’s been far too long since I reviewed a mindless action flick. Like, it’s been at least a month, right? I’ve seen S.W.A.T. at least a dozen times since it came out ten years ago. It remains one of my...

“I’m In The Red Car!
So, my parents? Not real strict about what kind of movies I could watch as a kid. And by “not real strict,” I mean I don’t think there actually were any rules, not of any kind. To be fair to them,...

“You Cannot Lose If You Do Not Play.”
You may or may not have noticed that — save Kingsman: The Secret Service — there have been a distinct lack of movie reviews these past few weeks. That’s partially because I went on vacation, partially...

“Frankly, My Dear, I Don’t Give a Damn.”
So. I am way, way behind on my 2015 Best Picture Winner Challenge. Thus far, I’ve only watched one film and I didn’t care for it at all. I thought maybe I’d reward myself with a movie that — hopefully...

“Impossibility is a Kiss Away From Reality.”
I first heard about Sense8 a couple of weeks before it aired on Netflix. Instantly, I was intrigued: a story about eight different people, all over the world, who become psychically linked in some way,...

“We’re Bad Guys. It’s What We Do.”
So, Suicide Squad was out for about a week before I had the opportunity to see it, and the reviews in that week were . . . not kind. I’d heard from a few people directly who enjoyed the movie, but...

“Mornings Are For Coffee And Contemplation.”

“Bulletproof. Blind Ninja. Whatever It Is You Are.”
So, I haven’t been here as regularly as I’d like to, and unfortunately that’s probably not gonna change anytime in the near future. I have Novel Writing Deadlines to meet, which means I’m instituting a...

“Let The Past Die. Kill It, If You Have To.”
