    After taking August off to focus on other things, I’m finally back in the swing of posting reviews. There is one film missing from what I had planned this week however. On Monday, there was a new edition of Screen Unseen that was pretty much confirmed to be The Threesome. If you follow me on…

    I took a quick break from reviews to sort out some personal issues, but that doesn’t mean I stopped watching films. I should have solo reviews out for Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman posted soon. As for the other films that I missed posting reviews on during this hiatus, F1 was excellent (4/5), M3gan 2.0…

    With my 20th tournament happening this week, I guess I could give you my rankings of what I think the Wes Anderson movies are for me. Before anybody gets too mad about those rankings, all 12 are really good films. There are just ones I like more than other ones. Those top two are all…
