Top Ten Animated Movies of the Decade

February 29, 2020

10. 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 […]

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

March 9, 2019

I was really disappointed watching the first act of the Lego Movie sequel. It suffered heavily from sequelitis and didn’t seem to have a whole lot going on. The visuals were still fun, the characters were still there, and yes there was some good humour. But everything was just passable. I didn’t really expect something different. […]

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2019

January 27, 2019

Another 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 […]

The Lego Batman Movie

February 26, 2017

Lego Batman is a much more juvenile outing than The Lego Movie of three years ago. The Lego Movie worked on a thematic level that was surprising, but don’t expect this Batman spin-ff to be in the same ballpark. Nonetheless, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it. There was enough here that kept my interest, though […]

My Top 50 Video Games: #30 – #21

August 16, 2015

30. Lego Star Wars PC I love Lego.  I love Star Wars.  So why wouldn’t I love this?  I do.  Its incredible amounts of fun, I like that the lego building aspect is brought into the game, along with a unique brand of humour.  Plus, lightsabers are awesome. 29. Tecmo Bowl NES I’m not really […]

My Top Ten Movies of 2014

February 1, 2015

10. Boyhood Richard Linklater’s 12-year opus was met with a lot of acclaim this year.  I appreciated what they set out to do quite a bit.  Its a subtly bold feat to attempt and the cast and crew here did it well.  Its not overly exciting, but it didn’t want to be.  I kind of […]

The Lego Movie

February 16, 2014

I love lego. When I was a kid, opening up a new pirate ship or castle set was one of the biggest thrills of Christmas morning. I had buckets of lego pieces, half-built sets scattered around my room. I still have a collection of every annual Lego catalogue throughout the 90s. I once recreated the […]

My most Aniciplated Films of 2014

December 1, 2013

I know we still have a month of 2013 to go, but why not start looking to the future already?  2013 hasn’t been an outstanding year for film, and 2014 doesn’t show a heck of a lot of promise either.  But lets see what there is that I may be interested in checking out. 5.(tie) […]
