  • May 2026: Week 1 – The French Connection (1971) The Land Before Time (1988)

    I lucked out for the first week of May by not only picking a movie I had seen previously, but also getting a beloved classic, 1971’s The French Connection. This movie was a resounding success, with a budget of $1.8 million and a worldwide gross of over $50 million, not to mention eight Oscar nominations,… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 1 – The Running Man (1987) The Guard (2011)

    For the first week of April, I selected The Running Man (1987) as my movie. This is a movie I had seen with my dad countless times as a kid, he adored cheesy action packed films like this. I remember we owned it both on blu-ray and DVD, and I’m sure he even had it… Read more

  • March 2026: Week 4 – Black Snake Moan (2007) Open Water 2: Adrift (2006)

    This week I was stuck with Black Snake Moan (2007) for the final movie of March’s draft. I knew only two things going into this movie, the first that it was Justin Timberlake’s first feature film he ever starred in (which is a stretch to say as I’m pretty sure he had a total screen… Read more

  • March 2026: Week 1 – Dungeons & Dragons (2000) Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

    For the first week of March, I had the opportunity to go back and revisit a movie I watched as a kid, Dungeons & Dragons (2000). I remember enjoying it when I was younger, back then I had a cursory knowledge of what D&D was, it wouldn’t be until about four years after the release… Read more

  • January 2026: Week 3 – Super Troopers 2 (2018) Rampage (2018)

    This week, I had the unfortunate experience of watching Super Troopers 2 (2018). This was a sequel that no one asked for, and frankly was made about 16-17 years too late after the first one (2001). I was 11 when the first one came out, and the last, and only, time I watched it I… Read more

  • January 2026: Week 1 – Land of Bad (2024) Holmes and Watson (2018)

    Seann’s movie for this week is Land of Bad (2024), a movie he had never heard of, and upon first impressions, does not look to be more than a mediocre action flick. The movie has a 6.1/10 on IMDB, out of nearly 60,000 total reviews. Seann is someone who can enjoy a good wartime action… Read more
