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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

We Don’t Post About Bruno

Posted on November 5, 2022 by Nathan

Encanto – Since Beth usually just wants to watch Halloween and horror stuff in October, I thought of the one Disney Animation Studios film we hadn’t yet watched when November came along. This one seems to have been quite well-liked, … Continue reading →

Teeny Tiny Bat

Posted on November 1, 2022 by Nathan

Halloween has come and gone, and the Great Pumpkin never showed up. Does no one care about sincerity in pumpkin patches anymore? It’s all this commercial farming, I’m sure. Anyway, here are my thoughts on one thing I watched for … Continue reading →

Coming Out for Air

Posted on July 10, 2022 by Nathan

Luca – I feel like Pixar movies used to be more distinct from Disney animated features, and now it’s difficult to tell the difference. That both use computer animation for pretty much everything now doesn’t help. In this one, which … Continue reading →

Posted on April 9, 2022 by Nathan

Raya and the Last Dragon – Beth and I had watched all of Walt Disney Animation Studios films, then last year we fell behind. We finally got around to watching this one last night. It takes place in a Southeast … Continue reading →

Quests of Yore

Posted on January 31, 2021 by Nathan

Onward– This one was up my alley, as I tend to like fantasy and its accoutrements. It has an interesting premise, that a sword-and-sorcery kind of world developed modern technology and became one much like our own, except still inhabited … Continue reading →
