There's not much to say about this one. This was originally intended to be last year's April Foal's Day fic, so this has been sitting around for a while.

I have no damn clue at all what the hell I just watched, but it was something really incredibly, wonderfully, disturbingly bizarre.
Just like Redford, Newman and director George Roy Hill's previous collaboration, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting proves to be a stupendously enjoyable romp that not only manages to be a supremely FUN film, but also one with a twist ending that is so awesome that I literally shouted for joy at the sight of it. Winning a well deserved Best Picture award, the film has aged beautifully, and now rightfully stands as a crown jewel of the caper genre.
I don't know, but for some odd reason, Izzy reminds me of Robert Downey Jr...
So I decided to watch what many say is an underrated Tarantino film, his low-key ode to Blaxploitation and so far only adapted work, Jackie Brown, based on the novel Rum Punch.
And I thought it was pretty damn good.
Confirming a long held rumor, Robert Downey Jr. will indeed be appearing in Spider-Man: Homecoming, partly due to how well he and Tom Holland (who is playing Peter Parker) got along on the set of Captain America: Civil War.
It is currently unknown how big Downey Jr.'s role is going to be.
Richard Brooks' dynamic and impactful cinematic adaptation of Truman Capote's magnum opus stands as one of the best book to film adaptations, and as one of the best films of the sixties.
The night before my dad and I went to see The Producers on the big screen, we sat down and watched a movie he'd rented earlier that week.
Tropic Thunder.
I'd heard of it, knew it was some kind of war movie comedy, but knew next to nothing else about it.
...Good Lord, was I in for a hell of a night.
Top tier!!! Absolutely love the darker subject matter and the more dare I say “grounded” superhero world.
It’s probably my favorite comic book series of all time and I hope the show can do it Justice. Robert Kirkman has done it again what a legend!
My Heinlein tribute story is complete. If you have any interest in Golden Age science fiction, or you'd like to see what might happen if Nightmare Moon were to confront a wily business tycoon, I invite you to give it a read.
Next on the train of movie write-ups... one of many controversial films by Martin Scorsese. "Taxi Driver."
(First watched July 26th, 2023.)
A friend of mine utterly hated this film. Having finally seen it for myself, I honestly kind of wonder if he and I watched the same movie.
Thanksgiving is here. Diets will be blown! Party games will be played with the family. Toilets will be destroyed and then people will roll out to various stores to pillage like their barbarian forefathers did. Except, instead of gold coins or salted herring it will be for things like weird computer gizmos and clothes that don't fit.
Since today is 'Back to the Future Day' (aka October 21st, 2015, the day Marty McFly arrives in the future in Back to the Future Part 2), I decided to watch the first entry in the franchise, and see if it holds up all these years later.
And, in a moment that will likely get me some heavy flack, I find that it, in fact, does not hold up in my opinion.
Rating Scale
10/10: Perfect season! Amazing and flawless!
9/10: Awesome season. It has minor flaws but has more positives than negatives.
8/10: Great season. It has several problems but not enough to ruin it.
7/10: It’s actually good. It has a lot of issues although mildly entertaining.
Not an easy watch by any means but one that I am glad to have seen all the way through.
Robert Borba, a man from Southern Oregon, heard a woman scream and saw a man absconding with her bike. So, he did the thing any one of us would do - run off to his trailer, fetch his horse, and chase the man down with a lasso.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest edition of Bard's Writing Reflections! Before I go into that, however, a reminder that Will-Owl-the-Wisp has finished Night Terrors!
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a refreshingly unpretentious film that's main goal is to entertain in a uniquely laid back and amiable manner, a task which it does with flying colors.
