Escape from New York (dir. by John Carpenter)
When I was little, my Aunt would sometimes take my older brother and I with her into Manhattan. In a little movie theatre near 82nd Street, she’d get us a set of tickets for a film, help us get seated with snacks and then either…
America – Prince and the Revolution
I’ve been listening to a lot of Prince over the last month. One of the cool things about albums growing up was extended versions of songs. You’d have some songs that would stretch well into 6 to 8 minutes. The first three minutes are lyrics,…
No Time to Die – by Billie Eilish
Grammy Award Winner Billie Eilish just released her theme song to the upcoming Bond Film, No Time to Die. Along with her brother Finneas, Eilish collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr (both of whom worked together on the Inception score). As this film…
Birds of Prey(and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) – (dir. by Cathy Han)
Once upon a time, there was this comic book company called DC. DC was fortunate enough to be owned by Warner Bros. back in 1968. I’ve always thought of this as a good thing, despite not being the best of fans. It meant that any…
The Last Second Picks for the Oscars
So here we are, the end of all things. The Oscars are actually just starting. I’m hoping that Parasite wins for Best Picture, but there really aren’t any films that I didn’t dislike. I can’t speak for Jojo Rabbit, which I didn’t get a chance…
Rabid (1977) – (dir by David Cronenberg)
What a strange film. I don’t have a whole lot to say about it, save that I enjoyed what I saw. I accidentally stumbled on to Rabid. I woke up with the tv on late at night to some guy trying to console a nearly…
Ford v Ferrari (dir. by James Mangold)
It’s rare for me to say that I enjoyed a film so much that I didn’t want it to end, but James Mangold’s Ford v. Ferrari hits all the right notes. A fantastic cast, impressive visuals on the races, scenes that flow without any time…
Fast 9 – The Fast Saga revs things up with a trailer.
When it comes to the Fast and Furious franchise, Tokyo Drift is my favorite, followed closely by Fast Five. I thought the franchise should have ended at 7 with the death of Paul Walker, but the show went on with The Fate of the Furious….
Re:Creators – S1:E2 – “……that wasn’t funny.”
When we last left the world of Re:Creators, student Sota Mizoshino found one of his favorite anime characters, Selesia Ulpitira in his world. The fight between Selesia and the Military Uniform Princess ended abruptly when a mage-like character named Meteora intervened (my personal favorite among…
Terry Jones (1942-2020)
You know that part in The Sandlot, where Smalls suddenly realizes that the “some lady named Ruth” signature on his dad’s baseball was actually that of The Great Bambino? That is me today, regarding Terry Jones’ passing. Terry Jones was one of the founders of…
