I had the pick of Arbitrage (2012) for this week’s movie. This is a movie I had not heard of prior to the draft at the beginning of the month, and upon glancing at the IMDB page for it, I immediately knew that I was in for a very “boomer-coded” flick, and boy was I… Read more

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

This week I got the fortunate chance to watch Wild at Heart (1990), a film written and directed by one of my personal favorites, David Lynch. It also happens to star another personal favorite of mine, Nicolas Cage, and features in a tertiary role a third personal favorite of mine, Willem Dafoe. I will start… Read more

Spread (2009) is a film that prior to this month’s draft of films, I was entirely unfamiliar with (and for good reason.) This movie had me rolling my eyes not 30 seconds in, and honestly, after last week’s film Land of Bad, I did not think I would be subjected to a worse watch. Boy,… Read more

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
