Frozen II (2019)
Well, that was a longer gap between articles than I had hoped. I’d apologize to my loyal readers, but the stats suggest I don’t have any… Anyway, while I tend to go to the movies every week these days, that Read more
Movies
Fear and Desire (1953)
Generally, I really love the work of the late director Stanley Kubrick. True, 2001 baffles me even after sitting through the whole thing a few times, and I found Eyes Wide Shut rather dull–though in that case, I think I Read more
Movies
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
I’ve never really been to any sort of class reunion. Sure, I get the invites once in a while, and I do think about going, but I usually decide to skip them for a wide variety of reasons. Besides, generally Read more
Movies
The Stranger (1946)
Imagine my surprise when, while flipping through Netflix’s catalogue, coming across what looked like a 1940s film noir I wasn’t familiar with. That isn’t Netflix’s usual thing, so I stuck it on my watchlist and went back to looking for Read more
Movies
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
Like a lot of people, I took that special three-year deal for Disney+. But, I don’t actually have any kids. It’s just me here, and as much as I like me some Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel stuff, that doesn’t Read more

Charlie’s Angels (2019)
Oh how I hated the trailers for the new Charlie’s Angels. So much about it made me think of some kind of half-assed 90s idea of Grrl Power from a male producer. Closets full of clothes, blatantly sexist men to Read more
Movies
Ford v Ferrari (2019)
I’m not really one for car racing. Actually, I’m not really one for sports of any kind. But even I would admit that seeing the trailers for the new Ford v Ferrari made the sport look exciting, with a good Read more
Movies
Enter the Dragon (1973)
When I listed my 45 favorite movies, I briefly mentioned that I had never seen anything from Bruce Lee. I know Bruce Lee by his reputation as a great martial artist whose life tragically ended early. From there, various fake Read more
The Podcast
Tomcast 2020 Podcast: Clash of the Titans (1981)
Hey, the podcast is back for another episode! This time around, Jen and I talked Clash of the Titans. Mostly the 1981 version, but we do talk the 2010 remake. The 2010 remake always came out the poorer of the Read more
