Well, hello there, nonexistent readers! Its been a minute, but today we are coming back with a view of 2016’s “Gold”, starring Matthew McConaughey. Apparently, this is based on the 1993 Bre-X Mining scandal, but since they’ve changed the names, places, and played up the events for Hollywood-ification, there is apparently as much in commonContinue reading “Gold (2016)”

Recently I watched 2010’s “The Fighter”, starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams. If you haven’t seen it, drop everything and find a copy. It is great. As I will go into here shortly, I am partial to boxing films anyway, but this one is well acted by all parties involved and tells aContinue reading “The Fighter (2010); Or, why Boxing Movies make for great stories”

It has been over a decade since I last saw Fight Club. I was a freshman in college, and since I had never seen the 4’x6′ poster for the film prominently featuring Brad Pitt that was plastered on my dorm wall, we decided to watch it. I remember thinking it was a pretty awesome film;Continue reading “Fight Club (1999)”

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN At the time of writing this blog, we are about 2 weeks away from Election Day in a Presidential election year. We are also about a week or so away from Halloween. So, in my mind, this could go either way; I could either watch a semi-patriotic franchise or a scary movieContinue reading “The “Has Fallen” Franchise (2013, 2016 & 2019)”

At some point I want to do a full retrospective on this franchise, but that wont be for a while. This one just came out, so rather than watch a legitimate movie or what is almost certain to be an unbearable presidential debate, I’m watching this movie. Honestly, I’ve enjoyed pretty much every Tremors movieContinue reading “Tremors: Shrieker Island (2020)”

Today we are talking about Æon Flux. Notice I’m gonna be super nerdy and use the weird Æ instead of Ae. Lets jump right in. I should be the the market for this movie. Yes, it came out in 2005, but its a post-apocalyptic utopia/dystopian sci-fi thriller that isn’t based on a YA property (lookingContinue reading “Æon Flux (2005)”

I have been SWAMPED! It has been about a month (maybe more?) since my last post, and I really meant to do a couple of these a week. But for those of you who don’t know, I have a full-time job while going to school part-time, and I also have been making it a priorityContinue reading “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)”

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is the first true western I’ve decided to review on my blog. I am disregarding Cowboys & Aliens in this consideration because while that is really more of a sci-fi movie with a western setting as opposed to a true western. Some may find that to be a bitContinue reading “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)”
