A ★★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025) I don't know that anyone needs my opinion at this point in the discourse. I think as many versions of this story, I enjoyed GDT's take. I think the people who think he shat on the novel are wrong, the...

I am positive at this point in the discourse on GDT's Frankenstein, no one needs my opinion, but I liked it overall.

Kinda bonkers Korean serial killer movie. Would've been more effective if the leads were more likable. They tried to make the mob boss likable. Entertaining, but just good, not great.

Faith of our father and Electric Ant. I also think the exit door leads in and I hope I Shall arrive are top notch.

A super violent Samurai movie about warring clans, one that embraces gun and technlogy and the 11 Samurai who attempt to hold their castle with swords. I mean I enjoyed it.

A ★★ review of Cutter's Way (1981) As a part of our series of Saturday night Pre-dude Jeff Bridges movies we watched this warmed-over turd. What the ever living hell is this Santa Barbara noir. Terrible writing, insane direction. wall ...

A ★★★★★ review of A House of Dynamite (2025) Generally a fan of Kathryn Bigalow movies, and I make a point to see them. Really bummed that it took 8 years to get another one. I keep hearing film critics say this film has a Roshomon structure, bu...

What makes this movie so scary is to picture this happening with the current clown show in charge. Also everyone keeps saying this is Roshomon structured, and it is not.

One of the best books I read this year is by Korean author Bora Chung . This collection is filled with science fiction but is considered "literature," not sure if she is team Leguin or Atwood on the SF or not debate but this is great stuff.
