New Concept on the blog today… I’ve just discovered that Bing’s chatbot can basically just create entire blog posts with limited direction, and for some reason I find that fascinating. So on a whim, I decided to get its thoughts on one of the most “blah” movies I can think of; the Will Ferrell/Nicole KidmanContinue reading “A.I. Post – Bewitched (2005)”

Over the past few weeks, something has been bugging me. Let me lay some groundwork for this a bit, and then I’ll get into my conundrum.

However, when the next 2 came around and went completely bonkers, the schtick became clear… flashy gunplay is fun to watch, so keep the plot basicContinue reading “Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)”

Yes, I fully realize that we are past the timeframe where a Halloween movie is acceptable watching. If that is a problem with anyone, you are going to be REAL annoyed when I continue with my opinion on this series every week or so, meaning that I’ll probably still be posting about the series inContinue reading “Halloween 3: Season of the Witch”

Today’s movie is a bit of an off-the-wall option when compared to the rest of this blog, but a change of pace can be good. “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain” is a biopic produced by Amazon films, stars Benedict Cumberbatch, and takes place from 1884 to 1927, chronicling the life of an eccentric VictorianContinue reading “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021)”
