Hey, nothing wrong with this selection of movies at all. The majority of them are really well-made works of fiction. Some of them are even among my own favorites.

I'm mostly just surprised to even see "Caddyshack" and "Grease" on the list. Didn't know you liked them so much.

Despite some noticeable pacing and storytelling issues, Ridley Scott's fantasy cult classic greatly makes up for it with Jerry Goldsmith's score, some good themes, and many gorgeous, atmospheric visuals.

Happy Children's Book Week!

This week, pick up a classic work of children's literature, be it picture book or young reader's novel, read it to your child, and bring them into a world of timeless imagination.

Just Finished Watching: "Heat (1995)"

Partially in memory of Val Kilmer and partially in preparation to hear the editor speak Wednesday night.

A bit complicated to follow at times, and dang, is it long. But the tense pacing and the powerful performances greatly make up for it.

I'm really sorry to hear that, my friend. My condolences to you and your family.

I'm really sorry to hear that, buddy.

THE JUNGLE BOOK REVIEW – A CHARMING, CHARACTER-FOCUSED, MUSICAL ADVENTURE There are definitely certain words we use in this world to describe and praise the impact of Disney: Magical. Groundbreaking. Timeless. However, perhaps one of the biggest words that evokes the mos…

Wherever I wander
Where I roam
I couldn't be fonder of this charming little piece of childhood.

What this Disney classic lacks in faithfulness to its source material, it makes up for in pure likability.

"The Lion & The Unicorn"

The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown
The Lion beat the Unicorn all around the town

And here I thought the first new release of the year that I’d be seeing in theaters would be the A24 film with Paul Rudd and killer unicorns.

So far, "Alice in Wonderland" is the most vibrantly colorful movie I've watched during my Walt Disney Animation binge.

Just because I prefer "The Wild Robot" more doesn't mean this win wasn't deserved.

Congratulations to the team behind "Flow" for winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature!

Just Finished Watching: "Tombstone"

Although it starts off rather slow, but it builds up to an amazing last third. That along with its classic Western filmmaking style, some of its themes, and the performances (particularly Kurt Russel) make it the Western classic it is known as by many fans.

Just Finished Watching: "Good Will Hunting"

A relatively good movie with a good story that thankfully is elevated by the performance of Robin Williams, which only makes me miss him all the more.

Just Finished Watching: "Remember the Titans"

Years before they ever gave us "Zootopia," Disney delivers an effective sports drama that explores the subject of prejudice, carried greatly by powerful storytelling and performances, particularly Denzel Washington's.

...Well, at least it's not another "Blood & Honey" movie. And it still looks better animated than anything else I've seen that's generated by AI.

But, still....yeeaaaaah, poor A.A. Milne's work is really getting stepped upon here.

Just Finished Watching: "Gladiator II"

A sequel that came out a bit too late, but is still a worthy-enough continuation of Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning epic, thanks to strong acting and action.

As for the "Glicked" debate? I prefer "Wicked: Part 1" easily.

Tonight, I finally begin the biggest movie binge I've ever done for the biggest animation company ever.

Happy New Year's Eve!

As we approach the halfway point of the 2020's, what have been some of your favorite movies released so far?

Here are some mine:

Well, regardless of how good or bad the "Lilo & Stitch" remake turns out to be, at least the marketing is staying faithful to the original movie.

Just Finished Watching: "Lethal Weapon"

Obviously checked this one out for the Christmas season. As is, it's a good action cop flick that's a bit complicated in its story and not the most Christmas-y alternative Christmas film in terms of look or themes, but it does get better as it keeps going.

Just Finished Watching: "Godzilla Minus One"

Easily the best out of the few Godzilla movies I've seen, carried by powerful acting and music, dramatic storytelling and exploration of heavy wartime subjects, and amazing cinematography, while still greatly working the famous kaiju into the story.

I hoped she'd at least make it through the rest of the year, but my grandmother lost the battle and has passed away.

Rest in peace, Grandma. I'll miss you, but I'll always love you.

Happy Birthday to voice acting legend Jim Cummings!

It was a real treat to finally get the chance to meet this iconic performer in person earlier this year.

Trick or treat!
