  • September 2026: Week 3 – xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017) Game Over, Man! (2018)

    For this week’s movie, I ended up with xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017). A movie that while watching, I found myself asking “who asked for this?” The third in a trilogy that I’m not sure was popular or well received in the first place, that was released TWELVE years after the last one. I… Read more

  • September 2026: Week 2 – Eraser (1996) Three Days of the Condor (1975)

    In a world of Government Conspiracy, and advanced weapons technology, friend of the blog, Arnold Schwarzenegger is: THE ERASER. Eraser (1996) is a slight sci-fi action thriller about a man, ERASER (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who is a U.S. Marshal that works for WITSEC (Witness Security Protection Program), and he does just what you’d expect: he “erases”… Read more

    My final film for June was Untraceable (2008). A psychological crime thriller about a serial killer live streaming his murders. Based on the premise alone, I was not expecting much from this week’s pick. And I was pleasantly surprised. This one was very enjoyable, albeit a little slow paced in the first act. I had… Read more

  • March 2026: Week 2 – They Came Together (2014) Dick Tracy (1990)

    For this week, I chose the movie They Came Together (2014). This movie is a cute satirical rom-com with a star studded cast. I went in with no expectations and my girlfriend and I had a wonderful movie night at the house with it. This movie is over the top ridiculous in a good way.… Read more

  • February 2026: Week 2 – I love You Phillip Morris (2009) Twins (1988)

    This week, I had the fortunate chance to watch a movie that I had seen previously in theaters a decade and a half ago, and had already walked away from enjoying, I Love You Phillip Morris (2009). This movie stars Jim Carrey (Steven Rusell) and Ewan McGregor (Phillip Morris) as two incarcerated people who meet… Read more
