Hey all.
It’s been a while since my last post, but I just wanted you to know that I am still here.
I was very busy the last several months. I took the GRE and applied for grad school, so fingers crossed that works out.
I decided to take a break from semi-regularly posting as I started to feel burnt out. I have taken some time to take care of my mental health and well being. Rest assured, I’ll…
Movie Musical Monday: The Greatest Showman
The Greatest Showman is a movie musical based (read loosely) on the life of PT Barnum and the creation of Barnum Circus. The liberties that are taken in the telling of this story are disgusting, honestly. But, hey, at least the music is good.
Look, if you’re going to make a musical out of the story of PT Barnum and his circus, you
have to show how horrible he was. And, that’s my biggest issue with…
59. Nashville
I swear, one of these years I’ll dress up as the Tricycle Man for Halloween.
“Over the course of a few hectic days, numerous interrelated people prepare for a political convention as secrets and lies are surfaced and revealed.”
Robert Altman’s masterpiece is a study of American people and politics, set right in the heartland of a country that was still in social turmoil and about to see the political era of Ronald Reagan. I will say that one would benefit from seeing this…
Bad Times At The El Royale: The Best Film I’ve Seen This Year
From the moment I saw the first trailer for Bad Times at the El Royale, I could tell that we would be in for something awesome. For your reference, I’m specifically talking about this trailer: Bad Times At The El Royale Trailer
Bad Times at the El Royale is about seven strangers, who are all more than they appear

I just have a couple questions about the 1978 Halloween…
Disclaimer: I love the film. Always have. That being said, I have a lot of questions.
1. Why does nobody turn on lights? Who just walks around a house in darkness?
2. Why is there a jack-o-lantern next to the bed at the Wallace’s house?
3. Why does Laurie keep throwing the knife away?
4. How does Loomis not hear Laurie scream?
5. Why is Laurie even friends with those people? They’re awful to her.
Venom (2018)
SPOILERS. Although the film was enjoyable, it still had its flaws.
Venom is Sony’s newest attempt at a Spider-man cinematic universe. And, all in all, it was enjoyable. However, it did have it’s problems.
The casting was good, but unfortunately a lot of the characters fell flat. There was an attempt at creating depth within each character, but ultimately everything felt very
surface level. Thankfully, Tom Hardy’s portrayal of Eddie Brock worked really well, and…
Movie Musical Monday: Annie (1982)
Carol Burnett’s performance saves an, otherwise, headache of a film.
Full disclosure: I have a very strong dislike for the musical Annie. Like, I really really don’t like it. That being said, I tried to watch this film without letting my personal feelings get in the way. Not sure that I was successful, though.
Overall, the cast is good. I mean, Carol Burnett playing Ms. Hannigan, Tim Curry as Rooster, Bernadette Peters as Lily, Albert Finney as Warbucks (I’m going…
The Nun (2018) Review
The film itself is lackluster and gave away its best scare in the very first trailer.
Where do I even begin…
The Nun is, chronologically, the first film in The Conjuring Universe. I would like it noted that I hate that The Conjuring Universe is a thing. The Conjuring was a fantastic film based on the ghost stories told by Ed and Lorraine Warren. It does not, however, warrant an entire universe of films around it.
Anyway.
There are a number of problems with this film, pacing being…
Hey. Long time, no see.
Number 61 on AFI’s list is the Marx Brother’s classic, Duck Soup.

Revisiting Disney: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
I’m just going to say it: this is my favorite Disney animated film. It was my favorite growing up and is still one of my favorites today. So, pardon me if this entry is a little bias. I’ll try my best not to be.
Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951.Disney released four other animated films in that decade: Cinderella in 1950, Peter Pan in 1953, Lady and the Tramp in 1955, and Sleeping Beautyi…
