. . . do they include not being able to use images anymore from their library? I have been trying to find good images for an upcoming review (which shall remain nameless) to place on my site. As you probably are already aware, I make sure to acknowledge licensed content at the bottom of each … Continue reading Just a Quick Thought: The New Rules of IMDb

Nine Years of Movie Blogging
Go go gadget holy sh*t! I've just been reminded that today marks my ninth year of blogging with WordPress! (If you want to read something quaint, here's the review that began it all.) Some time ago, maybe circa 2013-14, I jokingly commented to someone that I'd be doing this for a decade. Well, that's actually doable … Continue reading Nine Years of Movie Blogging
Top That: Five Movies I Probably Shouldn’t Have Paid to See
I just can't help myself. I'm debating whether or not to go see The Impractical Jokers Movie in theaters. It seems like this should be an easy 'no,' right? Especially when there are some good options out right now (The Lodge; The Photograph; The Invisible Man). Yet I'm having trouble resisting. For those who don't … Continue reading Top That: Five Movies I Probably Shouldn’t Have Paid to See
Just a Quick Thought: Remembering Kobe Bryant
Sunday, January 26, 2020 has proven to be an extraordinarily difficult and surreal day for hoops and sports fans in general. I'd like to pause my movie reviewing for a second to remember basketball player Kobe Bean Bryant, who passed away a day after Lebron James, currently of the Los Angeles Lakers, passed him for … Continue reading Just a Quick Thought: Remembering Kobe Bryant

Happy New Year from Thomas J! New year, new decade and a new slate of movies to take in and start complaining about immediately! 😀 Let's do it! I've come out of 2019 tripping over my own damn shoelaces. Not only did I botch the landing when it comes to finishing off the Marvelous Brie … Continue reading Month in Review: December ’19

(Flicks a cockroach off keyboard) God! Leave me alone, Wounds!!!! October was certainly bloody and gutsy. I made a conscientious effort to increase the posting frequency while keeping the reviews tailored to the genres of horror/psychological thriller/gross-out (is that a genre? It feels like it should be a genre.) It was a risky approach, because … Continue reading Month in Review: October ’19
Month in Review: August ’19
Well, whaddya know! The little rink-a-dink movie theater down the road from me has just re-opened, and to the tune of recliner seats, dine-in options and a totally revamped lobby that actually makes you feel like you've made a good decision with your money by having trotted out to the Pictures. Cinépolis Mansfield (the new … Continue reading Month in Review: August ’19
Month in Review: July ’19
Well unfortunately I never did manage to come up with some kind of "celebration" post for my blog's eighth birthday -- that opportunity came and went without so much as a kazoo being tooted. Actually -- that can still happen. In fact, here's literally an entire kazoo band to make up for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zMbsDzNT90&fbclid=IwAR1sFZYtZEzL7tQUlp65CNoN-1PncmZLyplsuCsSAZ7-FfIaCMPas1isfBc Now, … Continue reading Month in Review: July ’19

To those people still reading or starting to read me: This month, as in July, I'm being told by the folks behind the scenes that it's my eighth year of "flying with WordPress" which is a pretty amazing thing. I'm not sure whether I'll be doing anything in observance of that landmark -- in the … Continue reading Month in Review: June ’19
Month in Review: May ’19
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's that time again! Another month of cinematic magic to look back on, or . . . since it's early in the year, perhaps lament the lack thereof. From yet more pointless biopics (Tolkien, if you take a look at the numbers, apparently only has $4 million worth of fandom, but that paltry figure surely … Continue reading Month in Review: May ’19
