Nope (2022) Written and directed by Jordan Peele Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun Rated R. 130 minutes. The cool thing about a Jordan Peele movie is the conversation it inspires is just as fun as the movie itself. What do you think that meant? Why was this plot device included? What's the connection … Continue reading 3 Movies: Nope / 3000 Years of Longing / Bullet Train

(Review) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The most shocking thing about Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is how pleasantly it presents its dystopian setting. The World State as it exists in AF 632 (or the year 2540 as we know it) is a paragon of monolithic stability where nearly every aspect of life is manipulated by the government. Human beings are … Continue reading (Review) Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Iceman, Vol. 1: Thawing Out (Review)
If you're one of the original five X-Men and your name isn't Jean Grey or Scott Summers, chances are you've got a bum deal. Angel is mostly known for having his wings torn off and replaced by cybernetic ones as one of Apocalypse's Four Horsemen. Beast was arguably most popular during his stint with the … Continue reading Iceman, Vol. 1: Thawing Out (Review)
(Review) Miles Morales, Vol. 1: Straight Out of Brooklyn
The runaway success of last year's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse raised the profile of Miles Morales in a big way. Created by Brian Michael Bendis in 2011, Miles became the second Spider-Man of an alternate Marvel universe after a cataclysm took the life of that reality's Peter Parker. It's been an eventful eight years for … Continue reading (Review) Miles Morales, Vol. 1: Straight Out of Brooklyn
(Review) The Cloverfield Paradox
It's weird to realize that Cloverfield is ten years old this year, mostly because there are still so many questions I want to be answered. Where did Clover (the nickname given to the kaiju) really come from? What was the deal with those parasites, and why did they cause people to explode? Was the brief … Continue reading (Review) The Cloverfield Paradox
(Review) Twin Peaks, Season 3: Parts 1 and 2
Grade: B I was beyond excited about the news that Twin Peaks would be coming back for a third season this year. For those of you who have never seen it, you missed a hell of a ride back when television just wasn't doing that kind of thing. David Lynch and Mark Frost told a … Continue reading (Review) Twin Peaks, Season 3: Parts 1 and 2
(List) A Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #20 – #1
Over its 93-year history, Walt Disney Animation Studios has produced 56 feature-length animated films. Its partner, Pixar Animation, has produced another 18 for a grand total of 74; that's a lot of movies!

(List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #37 – #21
Walt Disney Animation Studios is a venerable institution that still produces amazing feature-length animated films even to this day. It's amazing that a movie studio can be so dominant for so long -- since their first release in 1937, they've been the standard bearer for animation. Along with Pixar Animation, they've produced 74 traditionally-animated and … Continue reading (List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #37 – #21
(List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #56 – #38
Walt Disney Animation Studios has been the premiere name in feature animation since the release of their very first movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's taken me a little bit, but I've now seen every single of the 56 entries in their official Canon along with all but one of Pixar's animated library … Continue reading (List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #56 – #38
(List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #74 – #57
Walt Disney Animation Studios is the premiere name in feature animation, and it's not even close. While DreamWorks gave the House of Mouse a run for its money for a few years, there's no other animation company that can match Disney's consistent run of excellence or its longevity. Both Ryan and I are fairly big … Continue reading (List) The Definitive But Thoroughly Subjective Ranking of the Disney Animated Canon, #74 – #57
