Reviews #3: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Laser Mission

Two movies that someone somewhere considered to be “Sci Fi Classics,” including a film that involves a robotic trump card defeated by the way someone refers to it and a film that isn’t even science fiction.

Statistics #37: Top 10 SeptemberBorn Actors

Got this one done early for a change while I’m on vacation! Some big names here this month, but definitely a top 10 that features a lot of weaker links, in my opinion.

Review #51: It

It’s here, It’s big, It’s scary, and It’s going to do gangbusters at the box office. Previews on Thursday were 13.5 million, a record for horror, September, R-rated films, and Stephen King. Here’s my review.

Reviews #1: Ingrid, Leap, Lady Macbeth, Annabelle, Tulip, Nut Job

A different approach to this review episode. Today, I’ll be talking about the last 6 films I saw in theaters, most of which didn’t exactly warrant a full review episode.

Ingrid Goes West: 5:20

Leap!: 16:00

Lady Macbeth: 27:00

Annabelle: Creation: 41:07

Tulip Fever: 57:29

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature: 1.03:06

Review #50: Brigsby Bear

Sometimes an SNL alum gets it right, and this is one of those times. Spoilers around the 8 minute mark or so. It’s better to go into this one as blind as possible.

General #20: Fantasy Movie League

Today’s episode is all about the FML! The first part deals with a general overview of the site and how the game works, then I move into some statistics for a private league that I’m part of: The Cinereelists: https://fantasymovieleague.com/group/6410

Statistics #36: Top 10 AugustBorn Actors

Right under the line is this month’s top 10 actors! We’ve got the most nominated actor that has never won an Oscar, last year’s Best Actor winner, and Andy Serkis’ protege in the lineup.

Review #49: Good Time

A new film from the Safdie brothers starring Robert Pattinson has hit theaters. It’s probably flying under the radar, but I’m making sure that someone knows about it.

Statistics #35: Logan Lucky

Soderbergh is back and meh-er than ever. Here’s my brief take on his new film and what it means for the spreadsheet at this point.

Review #48: Wind River

Taylor Sheridan steps behind the camera to sit in the director’s chair after two big critically acclaimed films under his belt (Sicario, Hell or High Water). In today’s episode, I review his new film, Wind River.

Review #47: Kidnap

Halle Berry’s newest acting vehicle has cruised into theaters and I’ve got a pretty controversial take on it.
