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 …
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 …
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. …

The Bat…man…
I haven’t written many reviews, in the typical sense, for movies soon after they’ve come out. As noted in my last post, Batman is one of my favorite franchises. Even though Marvel has absolutely killed DC head-to-head, I like Batman, and his universe, better than everyone in Marvel. And so, I’ve decided that, if not …
Same’s & Opposite’s: Batman & Michael Myers
Let’s play a little same’s and opposite’s. Two of my favorite movie franchises have come out with a new movie in the last 6 months. Batman has been rebooted, again, and Halloween Kills, came out last October. I just watched The Batman and re-watched Halloween Kills for the first time since I saw it on …

Best Picture Opinions: The 90’s
A few months ago I wrote a post containing my opinions about the Best Picture races of the 2000’s, in which I re-did what I feel should’ve been the proper nominations and awards for the decade. I want to do the same for my favorite decade: The 90’s! Some ground rules I will try to …
