Another week, another documentary nominated for awards. I love this time of the year, by the way. Meru was nominated for a Spirit award, and it only has four letters in the name. These are fun facts you may have already known! Meru is part of the Indian Himalayas, but it is not Everest. It …

When I first heard about people talking about this hip new film named Tangerine, my first thought was “Oh yeah, that foreign one!” You remember the 2015 Academy Awards right? Well, one of the films I never saw and didn’t win was named Tangerines. I didn’t know what it was about, but clearly it must …

How many movies does Adam Sandler do in a year? Usually one right? Maybe two? Well this year, he stars in three different movies. The Cobbler, Pixels, and now The Ridiculous 6. Sure he is getting older, but those private yachts aren’t going to pay for themselves. And as he does more and more films, …

It’s safe to say 2015 has been one of the craziest years ever in terms of box office history. If you haven’t been paying attention to movies at all this year, first of all, why weren’t you on this website and secondly, why are you on this website now? You may have heard a record …

I feel strange reviewing Goosebumps in the month of December. THAT’S NOT THE RIGHT THEME. Well, I had to cancel my eventual trip to see Goosebumps in theaters back end of October. Things were crazy. And now things are crazy, but a bit less. So while some people are thinking of Star Wars or Christmas, …

Forsooth! Verily! Haberdashery! These are the words I imagine to be in Shakespeare plays. A lot of crazy language that is hard for a simpleton like me to understand. Thankfully all of their plots are explained in modern English online, so you can read up ahead and just nod along during the movie/play and pretend …

Back in the 1960’s there were just three networks. NBC. CBS. And way way below them, ABC. Sure it was third place, but it was shit with shit television. They didn’t like being shit so they were doing their best to get their name on the map. And in 1968, the Republican and Democratic Conventions …

Westerns! According to Spielberg, Super Hero movies might soon go the way of the Western. Everywhere, and then rarely. K, thanks Spielberg. All of this is irrelevant to Bone Tomahawk, which is a new western (definitely not a super hero movie). It was also independently released, you can tell, because it wasn’t even rated. Ooh, …

I know I know, why would someone review Chipwrecked when it is in the middle awards caliber movie time? Why something from 2011 at the end of 2015? Well, I like to review anything I watch that came out within the last 5~ years, that way my recreational viewing isn’t completely “wasted.” And I had …

I may be the only one excited about this film. I heard about Chi-Raq a few months ago, and like most people, I assumed it would be some sort of Iraq spiritual movie. Chi. Get it? No, it is Chicago. Okay, a movie comparing the violence and unrest in Chicago to Iraq. After all, Spike …
