A Stars Wars Retrospective: Star Wars (1977)
This is a story about what happened in a galaxy, far, far away. What is there that you can or can’t say about Star Wars? Few franchises can claim to have such an impact on the pop culture zeitgeist. With various movies, video games, television, comics, and a whole plethora of merchandise under its belt, […]

Pinocchio: A True Story – Movie Review
Somebody shoots Pinocchio with a gun because he is a wooden boy. The fact that this is a sentence about a Pinocchio movie of all the things is a reality that I’m not ready to deal with right now. As the first of various films starring the titular character releasing this year. This self-proclaimed true […]

August 2021 Update
Hello everyone. I’m am still kicking and haven’t forgotten about this blog one bit. Well kind of. So remember that one big post I’ve previously made which had a pretty clear outline for what I wanted to cover while amid a pretty big marathon? Well, I apologize now for turning that into a false promise. […]

More Thoughts on Audition
I did say I was going to do this. And quite frankly, I have to. As stated in my review, Audition is a difficult film to review because potentially saying anything more than that it’s a movie that exists could be viewed as a spoiler. The poster that most people will see when they look […]
