Underwater (2020) – Film Review – “Wading Into the New Year”
The more time distances me from this movie, the more I think positively of it. Nothing I’d buy on DVD, but I had a good time.
When I saw it, I wasn’t having the best of days, and, while I don’t like to attribute my given mood to my initial thoughts on a movie, I’m only human.

Midway (2019) – Film Review – “All-In”
I don’t know what it is about them, but I’ve always loved war movies.
That said, I’ve never seen some of the more “classic” installments—Band of Brothers, Flags of Our Fathers, Saving Private Ryan (in full). In recent memory, though, films like Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and this one, remind me why it can be—why it is—such a revered genre.

What utter garbage…
Alright, let’s get into it.

Top 5 Reasons You’re Missing Out On A Modern Masterpiece – The Lighthouse (2019)
I was coming out of this film, yesterday, and…I couldn’t help but think: I haven’t done a Top List in a long time.
Being a piece that can be received so many different ways from one viewer to another, Maybe, I thought, this particular format would be best-suited for talking about it. Oh, and before we go much further……… Spoiler warning, I guess? I don’t know—never written a spoiler review, before, so…I’m not too sure what qualifies one as such.

Ad Astra (2019) – Film Review – “Light in the Darkness”
Christ…it’s been a real drought, at the theatre.
It, Chapter 2 hasn’t been performing, will probably be gone before Halloween…
The Downton Abbey movie and the latest in the I-can’t-believe-it’s-still-going Rambo franchise are bringing folks in, but not in the swells that the studios thought, I’d wager….

It, Chapter 2 (2019) – Sleep On It Review – “Not Turtle-y Enough for the Turtle Club”
Having seen It, Chapter 2 again, I can say…I enjoyed it more than I initially did. It’s not ideal, but I was thoroughly entertained…satisfied. So, let’s get the gripes out […]

Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood (2019) – Film Review – “Wild, Wild West Coast”
I guess that’s the “stylized” way of writing this particular film’s title. Didn’t know that until I saw the IMDb listing. Henceforth, I’ll be referring to it by its acronym: OUATIH. Anyway, down […]

Stuber (2019) – Film Review – “Instituting Martial Laughs”
I have a lot to say about this movie—and I use that term in the most endearing way I know how.
Usually, on this blog, I use “film” to describe something that truly knocked my metaphorical socks off—your Midsommar’s, your The Infiltrator’s, and so on. Otherwise, everything’s just a “movie” until proven otherwise, and this nomenclature tends to fall to the mid-summer fare that explodes into cinemas just to fill space between the more “high-art” seasons of spring and fall.
But Stuber, as Luke Stephens (bless him) on YouTube would say, did something amazing…

Stranger Things – Season 3 (2019) – “Turned Up To…Eleven” (Spoilers)
From the Cold (War) opener, to the tantalizing ending scenes that leave us wanting for next season already, I can honestly say—while not being the best season, that laurel still belongs to the first one—that this is my favorite season of the show, to date.
I will always listen to that theme, never skip the title drop at the beginning. It’s a classic, at this point—something everyone and their brother knows and can hum along to, even if they’re not avid viewers of the show.
