https://youtu.be/jYvHxEEgrPA 4.5/10 Tied for my lowest score along with the first season of “Jessica Jones”, the sole limited series in the Netflix Marvel universe could have been an epic collaboration between all of our heroes. With Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, the Iron Fist and supporting players like Stick, Colleen Wing, Claire Temple and the … Continue reading The Defenders Season 1
#1 Netflix Film in 2023: Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
https://youtu.be/8Q_RVOTqZlQ 3/10 Continuing the recent trend of directors making personal movies based upon their own upbringings that almost always only interests themselves and not a wide audience, the pretentious “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths” continues with co-writer/director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest disappointment. The sad part is that Iñárritu is a talented, Oscar … Continue reading #1 Netflix Film in 2023: Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
#139 Film in 2022: Avatar: The Way of Water
https://youtu.be/a8Gx8wiNbs8 3.5/10 I really want to like James Cameron. After watching his entire filmography, including his documentaries that no average movie goer saw, I did see many bright spots in the 1980s and 1990s. “The Terminator”, “Aliens” and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” are all fantastic action films that helped define their respective decades and pushed … Continue reading #139 Film in 2022: Avatar: The Way of Water
#138 Film in 2022: Emancipation
https://youtu.be/wafyhTpWpUs 6.5/10 Despite its 46% on Rotten Opinions, “Emancipation”, while flawed, is actually a solid film. There are issues with trying to juggle too many balls at once in terms of genres and the film looking a little over produced/stylized for its subject matter but there is a lot to admire here with director Antoine … Continue reading #138 Film in 2022: Emancipation
#137 Film in 2022: The Mean One
https://youtu.be/9n9LmPRRmEw 3/10 Do you enjoy the 1957 classic Dr. Suess book, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” but think that it is lacking in brutal murder and horrific violence? Then look no further than this horror parody which doesn’t even have the rights to that literary classic with “The Mean One”. If you’ve seen the trailer, … Continue reading #137 Film in 2022: The Mean One

Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2023 #10-6 (With Bonus TV Top 5)
After breaking my own personal record last year of watching 139 films in theaters in 2021 (not including all of the films I re-watched at home, new ones I watched/reviewed on streaming and TV shows), I ever so slightly upped that amount to 141 films viewed in theaters in 2022. This was the best/most profitable … Continue reading Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2023 #10-6 (With Bonus TV Top 5)
The Twilight Zone Season 3 (1988-1989)
https://youtu.be/c2PchbYE774 5.5/10 After a horrible debut season (2.5/10) followed by an incredible sophomore effort (8/10), the third and final season of the rebooted 1980s series wound up in the middle and as I predicted in my season two review, succumbed to having too many episodes. While season two went with the “less is more” approach … Continue reading The Twilight Zone Season 3 (1988-1989)
#136 Film in 2022: Violent Night
https://youtu.be/a53e4HHnx_s 5/10 A holiday hybrid of multiple films, “Violent Night” is a ridiculous, silly, over the top, unrealistic B-movie but that is a lot of fun if you turn your brain off and just let the carnage unfold. Where the movie lacks originality, it makes up for with some great and gory violence, especially near … Continue reading #136 Film in 2022: Violent Night
#135 Film in 2022: The Eternal Daughter
https://youtu.be/5hJR8hEsLZU 3/10 In a dual performance from Tilda Swinton as a middle aged daughter (Julie Hart) and her elderly mother, “The Eternal Daughter” features several scenes of Rosalind (mother) dozing off and falling asleep in her old age. Watching this movie feels a lot like that. This is the third movie I’ve watched from overrated … Continue reading #135 Film in 2022: The Eternal Daughter
