Release: 2019 Director: Todd Phillips I want to be very upfront about how I feel about Joker. The film itself has a lot to say about a multitude of topics, ranging from values of the class system to how society should view those with disabilities. What it does not do is glorify violence. We should …

Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus Review
I remember the days back in elementary school where I would come home and jump right onto the TV and scrolling to see what was on. Early 2000's kids programming was a strange landscape to browse. Most were late 90's shows that were trying to stay relevant during the new millennium or experimental programs that …

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Review

The Lion King (2019) Review
Release: 2019 (duh) Director: Jon Favreau So I saw The Lion King (2019) last night. And may I just say right now how annoying it is that I need to put in extra work to add the year to movies now? Every new Disney release seems to be designed to be confusing. "Hey, wanna watch …
The Art of Self-Defense Review
Release: 2019 Directed by: Riley Stearns So I saw The Art of Self-Defense. This did not get the same attention as, say, other films this weekend, but decided this would be worth my time over others. It's Jessie Eisenberg learning karate, so what could go wrong? Well... Nothing. This movie is just awesome. Our hero …
Hairspray (1988) Review
Release: 1988 Director: John Waters So I saw Hairspray. The original 1988 version starring Rikki Lake, Michael St. Gerald and Divine.

The Dark Crystal Review
To say that I've seen The Dark Crystal a few times would be an understatement. I'm more or less using this as a way to express just how much I love this movie. And the timing is perfect for this, Netflix announced a prequel series coming soon and I couldn't be more hyped for it. …
