10. The Avengers I’m not sure this ones going to hold up well over time, but it was a big deal. Maybe it makes the list more on its significance. Second half much better than the first. – 9. Captain America: Winter Solider Sure it gave up the MCU’s lamest character in Bucky Barnes […]

Top Ten Superhero Movies of the Decade
March 17, 2020Top Ten Animated Movies of the Decade
February 29, 202010. Isle of Dogs I’ll admit that when I first saw this, I was let down. It doesn’t reach the heights of Anderson’s other stop-motion Mr. Fox and the human parts of the story in particular were uninteresting. But I’ve caught it on tv a few times before then, and every time I do I […]
Top Ten Horror Movies of the Decade
February 24, 202010. Black Swan Does this count as a horror movie? Its sort of psychological horror, right? Anyways, I haven’t seen it in a while, but remember really liking it. So it makes the list. – 9. Halloween Despite how much I hate that they want this to be a sequel to Halloween, yet called it […]
My Most Anticipated Movies of 2020

So this is just more of a few that caught my eye, mostly because of who is making them. 5. Wonder Woman 1984 I […]
My Worst 5 Movies of 2019
February 15, 2020This was a pretty solid year for movies. But not all can be winners. Sometimes we have to look at what doesn’t work to appreciate what does work even more. 5. I Am Mother Netflix has been going all out on producing sci-fi movies and TV shows lately. Clearly they must be finding it popular, […]
My Top Five TV Shows of 2019
February 11, 20205. Silicon Valley Season 6 This is a comedy I’ve enjoyed the whole way through its run. Its never the best thing on, but its always enjoyable. This final season was consistent with that. And Gilfoyle just kills me; love that character. Especially his relationship with Dinesh. – 4. The Expanse Season 4 I’m a […]
The Ten Best and Worst Marvel Movies
April 15, 2019With Avengers: End Game being released later this month and Marvel hype at its highest, I thought it would be time for me to rank all the Marvel films of the modern era. I realized that I was pretty close to seeing them all, so I decided to watch the ones I hadn’t yet seen […]
My Most Anticipated Movies of 2019
January 27, 2019Another year, another potential crop of movies. Will it be a better year for film than 2018? One can hope. 5. The Lego Movie 2 I loved the Lego Movie in 2014. I thought it captured the spirit of Lego and told a funny, impacting story among a creative background. That said, I do not […]
My Top 10 Movies of 2018
January 2, 2019Another year, another list! 2018 wasn’t an outstanding year for movies, but mostly because the majority were under average. That doesn’t mean there weren’t still some awesome films, and here are some examples of great movies that came from the year. I don’t know if any are going to end up becoming beloved favourites of […]
My Worst 5 Movies of 2018
December 28, 2018I have a confession to make: I did not like the 2018 movie year as a whole. I mean, of course there were films I really liked, as we will see when I post my top ten of the year list, but for some reasons I ended up seeing lots of movies that simply didn’t […]
My Top 10 Movies of 2017
February 9, 201810. The Shape of Water Guillermo Del Toro brings himself back in the limelight this year with his modern fairy tale along the lines of Beauty and the Beast.

If you are interested in any of these topics, I highly recommend these casts. 5. The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast It amazes me […]
My Worst 5 Movies of 2017
January 13, 2018I know some people hate worst of lists, but I find it cathartic in a way. Its like saying that the things you love aren’t always perfect, and you are okay with that. Understanding what doesn’t work helps you to appreciate when it does work more. That said, I didn’t see a whole lot of […]
My Top Ten Movies of 2016
April 8, 2017Sorry, I’m quite late to the party on this one. First, let’s face facts: 2016 was a disappointing year. There are probably 5 or 6 films from 2015 I would put over any of the movies this year. But nonetheless there were still some solid movies to entertain us. Lets take a look. 10. Star […]
My Worst 5 Movies of 2016
December 27, 20165. Independence Day Resurgence I am a big Independence Day fan, but I could not get on board with the 20-years-after sequel. It was loud and obnoxious and lacked any sort of tension. The destruction of cities just turned into a white noise of debris which was not remotely interesting. And the final showdown at […]
