In the past couple of months, I saw the movie Jackie Brown for the first time. Additionally, both Kill Bill movies were available on Amazon Prime, and I watched them for the first time in 15 or so years. It was long enough ago that I didn't remember most of the plot. It's weird to …
Scream VI Thoughts
...And we're back. I just rented Scream VI a couple of nights ago and wanted to get my thoughts down before I forget about the movie entirely. I guess that sentence sums up my thoughts. I thought it was a fine, if forgettable entry into the franchise. It's not clear to me whether it's just …
Halloween Ends…
The latest installment of the Halloween franchise came out last weekend. Halloween Ends is the thirteenth movie of the franchise, capping off the fifth different timeline. I'm sure it's not really the end, but for now, we say goodbye to one of my favorite franchises. Overall, I didn't really like the movie, but that opinion …
10 Favorite Will Ferrell Cameos/Small Roles
One of my favorite comedic actors, Will Ferrell, turned 55 on July 16th. With that in mind, I thought, should I do a top 10 Ferrell post? Of course! However, I figure that his leading man performances and biggest SNL skits have probably been talked about a lot. I may post about them later, but …

10 Favorite Movie Posters
I haven't been to a movie theater in over two years, but one memory I have from being in there is that sometimes they'd have posters of movies that weren't yet in the previews. So, seeing posters could potentially be my first view at a new movie, which was exciting. I didn't think too much …
Battle on the Boundary: Prologue
Canton, Ohio - August 4, 2032 Jamal sat on a bench and bowed his head. A light buzz filled the air around him, but he sat alone in a room for what was going to be his last moment of quiet for a little while. He inhaled for a five-count, held his breath and then …
10 Desert Island Movies
One "party game" type of question that's been posed in many forms is 'what 10 _____ would you bring with you to a desert island?' As a movie lover, I've certainly thought about this many times with regard to movies. I thought I would write a post about that, but then I got concerned that …
Sames and Opposites: E.T. vs The Thing
This is not a new topic. If you're a fan of The Thing, you probably have a slight resentment for E.T., as the two movies came out within the span of a couple of weeks in 1982, and though they're two separate movies, E.T.'s cultural impact ultimately had a negative impact on the reception of …
Scream 2022
Scream is another franchise I've always enjoyed that recently came out with a new movie; a "requel", as Mindy explains. As with Batman and Halloween, I want to get my thoughts down about the movie, just for a little something different than my usual top 10 lists. Once again, I will be reviewing this in …
Halloween Kills…my confidence in this reboot
I love the Halloween franchise, and was delighted when the newest entry came out in October of last year. I subscribed to Peacock just to watch it on opening night. It was much anticipated after the success of Halloween 2018, which I enjoyed quite a bit. To bury the lead, it was a step backward. …
