Have Your Elf a Merry Little Christmas

Posted on December 25, 2021 by Nathan

We watched a few Christmas-related things this month, and I wasn’t necessarily planning to post about them all at once, but that’s kind of how it worked out. There were some things for which I don’t necessarily have a full … Continue reading →

Dying for a Good Harvest

Posted on November 28, 2021 by Nathan

Beth and I recently watched two movies that we’d sort of associated with Thanksgiving, even though neither of them actually mentioned it or took place then. There are SPOILERS for both. Little Giants – I’d seen this when I was … Continue reading →

Truth in Cinema

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Nathan

Wonder Woman 1984 – I know this movie didn’t do so well at the box office. That might be partially because of COVID, but it definitely had some problems. I’d heard some stuff about Gal Gadot being anti-Palestinian, which is … Continue reading →

Time for Terror

Posted on November 1, 2021 by Nathan

Here’s a rundown of all the movies we watched this October (well, except for Halloween Kills), all horror-adjacent, but not necessarily all horror films per se. A lot of them turned out to be horror comedies, which wasn’t really intentional. … Continue reading →

You Can’t Kill the Boogeyman

Posted on October 19, 2021 by Nathan

Halloween Kills – SPOILERS for this and some other movies in the franchise! It’s not entirely fair to blame a day of the year for the people who die then, is it? Seriously, it’s a strange title, but that doesn’t … Continue reading →

Born Under a Bad Sign with a Blue Moon in Your Eyes

Posted on October 11, 2021 by Nathan

The Sopranos – WARNING! SPOILERS! I’ve seen headlines recently that a lot of young people have started watching this show. Beth and I just finished watching it recently, but I don’t think we count as young people anymore. I didn’t … Continue reading →

Sweets to the Sweet

Posted on August 28, 2021 by Nathan

Candyman – WARNING! SPOILERS! I think it would be fair to say the original movie is one of Beth’s favorites, so she was cautiously optimistic about this one. We both liked it, although there were a few things that didn’t … Continue reading →

Death and Transformation

Posted on August 22, 2021 by Nathan

WARNING! SPOILERS for all four movies! Tickled – This is a weird movie directed by David Farrier, a New Zealand filmmaker who stumbled upon sites about competitive endurance tickling for young men. Further investigation revealed that this whole thing came … Continue reading →

Mean Old Lions

Posted on July 25, 2021 by Nathan

Predator – This was something I thought I should see because of its cultural significance, and I did appreciate the mythology, but I felt too much of it was just a bunch of guys running around a jungle and firing … Continue reading →

Theater of the Oblivious

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Nathan

Dark Horse – This movie is awkward and uncomfortable, but I guess that’s pretty much always the case with Todd Solondz’ work. It focuses on a pathetic man-child who lives with his wealthy parents, played by Christopher Walken and Mia … Continue reading →
