Two guys watching random movies and giving our genuine thoughts on them.

Movies

  • August 2026: Week 4 – Forever My Girl (2018) Toy Story Toons: Small Fry (2011)

    For my movie this week, I chose Forever My Girl (2018). Normally this isn’t a movie I would ever sit down and watch. I’m not one for sappy romance movies, and especially not when they feature a country music star and the southern small town as main plot points. Despite that, I actually liked this… Read more

  • August 2026: Week 3 – Cliffhanger (1993) Ken Park (2002)

    My movie for the third week of August was another one that I know I had seen as a kid with my dad. I’m pretty sure he had a copy on VHS back then. Cliffhanger (1993), an action packed, over the (mountain) top film.  This line in the opening credits is one of the best… Read more

  • August 2026: Week 2 – Shattered (2007) (AKA Butterfly on a Wheel) Last Vegas (2013)

    My movie this week was something I had never heard of, and honestly had a hard time finding a way to watch, as it was originally released as Butterfly on a Wheel (2007) in Canada and the UK, and that was the title in which it appeared on our monthly draft board. However, in the… Read more

  • August 2026: Week 1 – Naked (1993) Boogie Nights (1997)

    For the first week of August, I was able to choose the first selection. Once we rolled the dice, Maxwell said “Oh one of my favorite movies is here this month.” So naturally, I asked which one (I was secretly hoping his answer would be “Toy Story Toons: Small Fry (2011).”) However, the actual answer… Read more

  • July 2026: Week 4 – Joker (2019) A Carpool Karaoke Christmas (2024)

    For my final week of July, I was stuck with a movie that neither Maxwell, nor I wanted to watch: Joker (2019)… I’m going to start off with my overall thoughts on this movie: It was actually pretty just okay. I was surprised by how much I didn’t hate it, but also it left me… Read more

  • July 2026: Week 3 – Otherhood (2019) Firewall (2006)

    For my movie this week, I randomly took a stab in the dark and ended up with Otherhood (2019). I was really trying to avoid the movie that I am unfortunately stuck with for next week… But that’s something I’ll write about next week. Anyway, this is a movie that is so far from my… Read more

  • July 2026: Week 2 – It Comes At Night (2017) The Awakening (2011)

    For the second week of July, Maxwell chose one of the two horror movies in the draft, so I immediately chose the other one as my pick. Maxwell is someone who doesn’t typically watch horror or enjoy that genre as a whole, while I am someone who has a love for horror and enjoys seeing… Read more

  • July 2026: Week 1 – Upside Down (2012) Papillon (2017)

    My first selection for July was a complete shot in the dark at a movie I had never heard of, Upside Down (2012). A grandiose love story about a universe with twin planets. This movie starts off in an entirely aggravating way, the opening monologue is only four and a half minutes in length, but… Read more

  • June 2026: Week 4 – Untraceable (2008) Bad Tidings (2024)

    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

  • June 2026: Week 2 – Ratter (2015) Mary Shelly (2018)

    For the second week of June, I drafted a movie I had never heard of, despite there being plenty of (probably) more interesting picks left, but sometimes I like to force myself to watch something that I normally wouldn’t. In the past (maybe not for this blog) I have been surprised, and ended up having… Read more
