Big Brother – My Guiltiest Pleasure
Look, we are all allowed our guilty pleasures. Some people like listening to musicals when their friends aren’t around. Or read silly pulp romance novels. Or drink White Claws. I, however, watch Big Brother every summer. Is Big Brother a trashy reality show? Yeah. It is, you won’t find many fans who deny it. But […]

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) – A Missed Brand Of Comedy
I just want to start this by saying, this is not a normal review. I find it hard to review comedies because comedy in itself is so subjective. What I may find gut-bustingly funny, you may simply roll your eyes at. So, I won’t try to tell you whether or not you’ll find it funny. […]

The Princess Bride (1987) – Inconceivable!
“Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – the most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line”!” A lot of films have charm. […]

Netflix or Hulu-Who Wins August?
It’s here! Another new month! That means another new round of unlimited new shows and movies coming to all of my streaming services. It’s just the adult version of Christmas right? When we open the app for the first time of the new month. What will the new background be? What will be my new […]

The Graduate (1967) – Only The Soundtrack Aged Well
Look, I get it. I get why this film was a big deal back in the day. It’s a well written, well directed, and fantastically acted movie. It’s easy to see how it captured audiences back in 1967. Even today, I found myself relating to the main character, played by Dustin Hoffman. He just graduated […]

Summer Update 2 Comes to Animal Crossing!
Don’t Run While Holding Those Balloons! The much anticipated Summer Update 2 comes to Animal Crossing New Horizons today, or rather, last night around midnight. Pesky updates, coming in the middle of the night. I guess that might be appropriate, in a way, because the Summer Update 2 brings the fireworks shows back to the […]

Dogma (1999) – Even God Has A Sense Of Humor
Now, I didn’t grow up in a super religious family. But we were religious enough that we would usually go to church on Sunday Mornings and I had to go to Sunday School until my junior year of high school. So, needless to say, watching a movie that constantly criticizes and mocks organized religion was […]

Verna Fields : The Unsung Hero of Jaws (1975)
Verna Fields has an interesting story. Despite working on several Oscar nominated films, such as American Graffiti (1973) and Paper Moon (1973), she is mostly remembered for just one film, for which she won the Oscar, Jaws (1975). I think we all know Jaws? Big shark keeps eating people? We’re gonna need a bigger boat? […]

Dune (1984) – I Don’t Know….
I love sci-fy. I love fantasy. Star Wars is one of my favorite movie franchises. So, it stands to reason that I should like Dune (1984). After all, the book it is based on, “Dune” by Frank Herbert, is often credited as inspiring Star Wars, as well as many other science fiction staples. This should […]

Monsters, Inc. (2001) – The Best Twist Villain… Ever?
Oh boy, I love Monsters, Inc. (2001) it is by far one of my favorite Pixar movies, second only to The Incredibles (2004). I loved it as a child because it is really funny. Now, as an adult, I love it because… well its still very funny. But I also love it because of how […]

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban declared that the “National Anthem Police in this country are out of control,” leading to a tense exchange on Twitter with Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican who represents Texas. Cuban initially tweeted “Bye” on Sunday evening in response to a tweet from Mark Davis in which the Dallas-based conservative talk […]

Poltergeist (1982) – They’re here
I hate horror movies. I really do. It’s nothing to do with them, it’s me. I can’t handle them. I scare very easily. So, I tend to stay away from them. But I figured if I watch it in the middle of the day then maybe it would be better. Since nothing, in my experience, […]

Vanity Fair’s cover, featuring Viola Davis, is by first Black photographer, Dario Calmese.
In Vanity Fair’s history, longer than a century’s worth, the July/ August issue features work by its first Black photographer, Dario Calmese, with a cover of actress Viola Davis. This is astonishingly timely and telling as it comes at a time when equality and justice for the Black community is gaining ineffably well-deserved […]

Clear and Present Danger (1994) – I don’t know… Kind of boring, I guess?
Maybe I’m broken. Maybe I’ve grown too accustomed to modern action movies. Maybe I’m not being fair to this movie. But in my defense. This movie isn’t very good. Which is weird. Because I feel like I hear people talking about how great this movie is all the time? I mean, this movie is based […]

Paper Mario: Origami King Anticipation
Time To Fold Your Way to Adventure! Paper Mario is one of those niche game series that either you know and love, or go “heh?” When it’s brought up in conversation. Regardless of your stance before now, though, Paper Mario will once again be on the front lines, with the much-anticipated release of Paper Mario: […]

Footloose (1984) – Kick Off The Sunday Shoes
Everybody cut. Everybody cut. Everybody cut Footloose (1984). I get. I finally get. I understand exactly why this movie is still so popular. It’s kind of like a less sexy Dirty Dancing. Don’t get me wrong, Footloose is perfectly sexy, it’s just Kevin Bacon is no Patrick Swayze. This movie did everything right to cement […]

Catherine: Full Body Switch Review (Rated M)
Spoiler Free The original version of Catherine first released 9 years ago, right after Valentine’s Day in the summer of 2011. I was a fresh adult myself, and saw the game sitting on a counter in my local gaming store. I had no idea what the game was about, other than the anime girls on […]

What is an Entanglement
Some people consider Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith as black Hollywood royalty. The Smiths are well rounded performers – known for acting, producing, screenwriting, singing, and participating in business ventures. Social media platforms were on fire with the term “entanglement” for the past few days. Why? Only recently we learned that Jada Pinkett Smith […]

The Cable Guy (1996) – A Strange Meta Commentary on Jim Carrey’s Famous Characters
Now, I had never heard of this movie. Well, I had heard about it. But I had never really heard anyone talk about it. All I really knew was that it was a Jim Carrey movie. So, going in, I really didn’t know what to expect. Yet, what I got, was still very far from […]
