Lots of yelling, shooting and car revving this week. Fast X The movies’ most monotone man, Vin Diesel, is back in the final installment (well, the first of three final installments) of the long-running Fast & the Furious series. He plays Dominic Torretto, a guy who went from being obsessed with cars, street racing, and the occasional low-levelContinue reading “2023 Movie Reviews: Fast X / Blackberry / Ambulance”

Everything was really just fine this week. Not great, just fine. Air It’s truly bizarre that folks are whispering sweet Oscar buzz about Ben Affleck‘s thoroughly fine but definitely unspectacular Air Jordan biopic, Air. Taking place in 1984, and don’t worry if you miss the title card; the extensive list of on-the-nose references will clue you in;Continue reading “2023 Movie Reviews: Air / Sick / Swallowed”

The formula for a perfect Marvel movie is Fun Characters + Cool Visuals + Relentless Animal Cruelty. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 I won’t even attempt to hide my general apathy/borderline disdain toward Marvel. Look, a few are really fun, some are up their own ass, and every single one is too long. The onesContinue reading “Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Review”

Adolescence, addiction, elaborate pranks and Enys Men. Whatever the hell those are. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret I’ve never read Judy Blume‘s beloved novel about an 11-year-old girl anxiously awaiting her period. Still, from what I understand, it means a lot to many people, mainly women who grew up with the text. Coming-of-age storiesContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret / Jury Duty / John Mulaney’s Baby J / Enys Men”

Continuing a series, I started just last month, I’m looking at the burnt ends of my movie-watching, movies, and television I don’t get to review. These could be classics I’m just now seeing or films I’m rewatching for the 20th time. I watched less stuff in April than in March, but I watched a fewContinue reading “Stuff I Watched in April”

Drag queens, Dracula, overbearing or possessed mothers, public school teachers and Aussie twinks. A lot this week. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Hand me my reading glasses, child, because the library is officially open. Writing a negative review of RuPaul’s Drag Race gives me no pleasure, as this show has given me so much over the years.Continue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: RuPaul’s Drag Race / Evil Dead Rise / Beau is Afraid / Renfield / Abbott Elementary / Of An Age”

Look, even I haven’t seen everything. I don’t see everything. I can’t. There’s too much stuff. Especially now. And while I like to make it a point to see the biggest movies that get released and are the biggest part of the social conversation, sometimes I just can’t find it in me to give aContinue reading “I Paid My Friend to See & Review Super Mario Bros Because Even I Have My Limits”

The one about food is not titled ‘Beef’. Beef Season 1 Beef is the best thing Netflix has put out since the last season of I Think You Should Leave almost two years ago. Shit, it’s one of the best things Netflix has ever produced, period. A perfectly paced, unpredictable little morality tale with complicatedContinue reading “2023 TV Reviews: Beef & The Bear”

Monsters with and without bras. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Bottom line – I was shocked by how much fun I had watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. I’ve never played the game, although I’ve been told I’d be a natural at it (now accepting invites to any and all existing campaigns), andContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Dungeons & Dragons / MILF Manor/ Swarm / South Park”

John Wick is back and it’s so much John Wick, he gets his own article. I remember seeing the trailer for the original John Wick in summer of 2014 and thinking, “This looks really stupid.” I wasn’t a huge Keanu Reeves fan and the movie looked like nothing more than a guns-instead-of-swords variation of hisContinue reading “John Wick: Chapter 4 review”
