Unico Is My Employer

Posted on March 19, 2023 by Nathan

SPOILERS for all three films. Scream VI – We saw this at the theater, even though Beth had only seen the first two movies in the series, and I’d only seen the first one. It’s not like that made it … Continue reading →

Killers, Corpses, Cartoons, and Conductors

Posted on March 5, 2023 by Nathan

Here are my thoughts on the four movies I’ve watched most recently, all with SPOILERS. Body Bags – A 1993 film consisting of three different segments, the first two directed by John Carpenter and the last by Tobe Hooper. Carpenter … Continue reading →

The Strange, Silent Type

Posted on February 12, 2023 by Nathan

SPOILERS, as usual. Strange World – It’s weird that Disney came out with a new big-budget animated feature that just fizzled out at the box office, and I’m not quite sure why it did. I guess it was largely bad … Continue reading →

Noise of the Weird

Posted on February 7, 2023 by Nathan

Two movies, several SPOILERS. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story – I was honestly a little nervous to watch this because I thought it might not be very good. I mean, I knew it was a parody biopic that mocked the … Continue reading →

Let’s Go Back to Your Childhood

Posted on January 29, 2023 by Nathan

There are some pretty major SPOILERS for all three of these movies, especially the first two. Skinamarink – It’s weird, because I wouldn’t necessarily say this was a good movie, but it was pretty effective in what it was trying … Continue reading →

Beyond Burgers

Posted on January 20, 2023 by Nathan

The Bob’s Burgers Movie – I had wanted to see this at the theater, but I never got around to it, so I saw it streaming this weekend. It seems like the typical way to make a family sitcom into … Continue reading →

The Little Robot Girl

Posted on January 13, 2023 by Nathan

WARNING! SPOILERS for all three movies reviewed herein! Speak No Evil – Beth tends to like bleak, hopeless movies, while I tend more towards the whimsical and fantastic. Obviously there are exceptions for both of us, but one sort of … Continue reading →

Attack of the Puberty Panda

Posted on December 31, 2022 by Nathan

Turning Red – This is the first Pixar film to be directed solely by a woman, and it explores the familiar themes of the awkwardness of adolescence and trying to fit in with an overbearing family. That it uses menstruation … Continue reading →

A Long Winter’s Kidnap

Posted on December 26, 2022 by Nathan

As it’s now the day after Christmas, alternatively known as Boxing Day, St. Stephen’s Day, the second day of Christmas, or, here in the United States, absolutely nothing (although Beth and I still get the day off because Christmas fell … Continue reading →

Six Degrees Below Zero

Posted on November 30, 2022 by Nathan

I guess it’s the holiday season now, so whoop-de-doo and dickory-dotch, and here are some things that I watched. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special – Like the movies, this special doesn’t take itself particularly seriously, but it does … Continue reading →
