  • 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 4 – Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Ghostbusters (2016)

    For the last week of April’s movies, I was “stuck” with Meg 2: The Trench (2023). This is a movie I normally would not choose to watch for a movie night, as I am not typically into Hollywood Action Flicks. I went into this one with no expectations whatsoever. And to be entirely honest, I… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 3 – Captivity (2007) Robocop 3 (1993)

    Pointlessly grotesque.  -0 mallards/5 -Seann In keeping with the tradition of not watching prequels if assigned a sequel, I did not refresh my memory on the lore of Robocop. I did not re-watch Robocop (1987), nor did I watch for the first time Robocop 2 (1990). Luckily, I don’t think anything was lost from my… Read more

  • April 2026: Week 2 – Rob Peace (2024) Scarface (1932)

    My movie for this week is one I had never heard of before, Rob Peace (2024). I had no expectations when sitting down to watch it, all I knew was the one sentence blurb from IMDB explaining it as a drama about a son and a father who is convicted of a crime he may… 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 3 – Stake Land (2010) Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

    This week’s movie for me was Stake Land (2010). One of the most “mid” but enjoyable movies I have ever seen. My girlfriend and I did have a fun time watching it, despite its shortcomings. The movie throws you right into the story, a vampire apocalypse has occurred and immediately we see Mister (Nick Damici)… 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

  • 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

  • February 2026: Week 4 – Outbreak (2024) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

    For the final week of February, I was left with a movie I had never heard of again, Outbreak (2024). As far as I can tell, this movie was a “made for streaming” one that didn’t hit theaters, and there are lots of these nowadays. And not many of them are good or worth the… Read more
