★★★★★ There was a time where books were my primary source of entertainment. This was a very large period of my life, in fact, ranging from age 3 to 12. I was an extremely vociferous reader. But I haven’t read that much fiction in recent years. Other than the occasional Agatha Christie novel, or whatever book I was reading to impress some friend, I have … Continue reading An Absolutely Remarkable Thing – Hank Green (BOOK REVIEW)

★★★★ Watched 30 Apr, 2020 As I continue to watch the development of Aaron Sorkin, I’m left in awe. Pulling off a love story is hard. Pulling off a comedy is hard. Pulling off a political drama is hard. And somehow this film does all three of those things extremely effectively. So effectively in fact that you don’t really notice that it’s doing any of these … Continue reading The American President (1995)

★★★★★ Mindhunter makes it to my Top-5 favourite shows ever, in one phenomenal season. That’s saying a lot because I have really deep feelings about all the shows in that Top 5 bracket, but Mindhunter is just THAT good. David Fincher directs 4 out of 10 episodes of this show and they are MAGNIFICENT! Asif Capadia, Lindholm and Douglas all do great jobs as well. … Continue reading Mindhunter (2017) Season One Review

SPOILER ALERT! DUH.

What did I just watch? I don’t like Frozen II one bit. I don’t like at all. I love Frozen, so I’m not just a hater. I really wanted this to be a good movie. I gave it a chance. But it’s disappointing. I don’t think I can review this movie without spoiling it. Before I rant about how bad this is, I want to point out a few positives. This is a very gorgeous movie. It looks really really good. The color palate is so interesting. But that’s about it. Let’s get to the negatives now, cause boy, are there a lot of those!

★★★★½  Watched 20 Apr, 2020 If I had to use one word to describe this movie, it’s ‘epic’. The character of Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh is enough to carry this movie but it goes from normal to masterpiece because of actors like Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson and Tommy Lee Jones. It’s an extremely riveting and suspenseful movie. It isn’t as funny as the Coen Brother’s other … Continue reading No Country For Old Men (2007)

★★★★★  Watched 19 Apr, 2020 I have never watched anything like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in my life. It is only one of 3 movies in 91 years to win the Big 5 Oscars (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Male), Best Actor (Female). I think it completely deserves all of those awards as it is one of the most memorable movies … Continue reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)

★★½  Watched 18 Apr, 2020 The second film in my endeavour to watch all of Aaron Sorkin’s (my favourite screenwriter and widely considered to be the GOAT of Screenwriting) filmography. I started with A Few Good Men a couple of weeks ago and that is a significantly better film than Malice. The best way to describe this movie is ‘predictable’, and not because of a lack … Continue reading Malice (1993)
