Directed by Gordon Flemyng Written by Milton Subotsky I’ve talked plenty in the past about just how big the Daleks were for a period in Britain (not from first-hand experience obviously as my dad was actually born during the period … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): Dr. Who and the Daleks
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not exactly a family movie kind of person and with that out of the way, here’s a review of a family movie watched in a theater packed with families. The first Paddington film overcame a lackluster trailer … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Paddington 2 (2017)
I mentioned it yesterday in my review of The Post, but I don’t really do biopics in theaters, with both these films chosen largely because they are likely Oscar contenders. Not the best reason to check out a film I admit, … Continue reading Movie Reviews: I, Tonya (2017)
In terms of the most useless reviews I have or will ever write, writing one for The Post has to rank towards the top. It’s a Steven Spielberg directed historical prestige film starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. If there … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Post (2017)
Season 5 Directed by Tristan de Vere Cole Written by David Whitaker If it feels like this season has lasted forever, it’s not just you. I started this season way back on March 13th with the classic serial “The Tomb … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S05E07 “The Wheel in Space”
In any other year, Darkest Hour would be just another stagey film destined to rack up award nominations and critical plaudits, but in 2017 something is a bit different. I won’t even say it has much to do with the … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Darkest Hour (2017)
“Dying is one of my least favorite things to do” Short films, even when they breakthrough to viral status, never achieve the kind of attention that feature length films do. With the exception of Pixar and the rare other example, … Continue reading Movie Reviews: World of Tomorrow Episode 2: The Burden of Other People’s Thoughts (2017)
As someone who doesn’t (or at the very least didn’t) see many movies each year in theaters, I’m generally selective of what I go see there. They are all well reviewed and either from creators who I am a fan … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Molly’s Game (2017)
2006 was an underrated year in film. It may not be mentioned along the likes of 1939, 1972, 1974, 1994, or 1999, but it deserves to be mentioned in that conversation. Don Hertzfeldt released the first part of a fantastic … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Shape of Water (2017)
I’m guessing you all have been content over on the Spoil Sports article which would explain why no one has written a review yet (this will be spoiler free unless you are trying to, like me, avoid all information about it), … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
Even more so than in film, directing duos are rare, typically manifesting more as “collectives” when they do exist. The husband and wife duo of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris who directed videos over a span of 24 years before … Continue reading Video Director Spotlight: Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
Editor’s Note: Feel free to post as big or as small of a list as you would like below but please keep your lists contained to these posts and do not open up your own or fill up the OT … Continue reading The Pits: Best in Film 2017
Editor’s Note: There was no review of the universally beloved Frozen short (watch tomorrow night on ABC!) because your writer intentionally waited until it was removed from prints of this film because he’s a monster. I debated internally for a … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Coco (2017)
Earlier this year, I read Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and found myself generally underwhelmed. Dick ran up against some interesting ideas but wasn’t able to make them all the engaging. I’d seen the Ridley Scott adaptation, Blade … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Blade Runner 2049
My last review closed with the line “Along with films like Moonlight and The Florida Project, we may be heading towards another type of standard prestige picture which I hope doesn’t happen, but I’ll gladly take films like this over the ACTING showcases … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Novitiate
Disney World (or Land) is called the Happiest Place on Earth because it’s a really catchy and effective way to sell people on a place being special. It also is a genuinely special place for millions of people around the … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Florida Project
There are few better ways to open up your film then four simple words; “A Film by Martin McDonagh”. The playwright turned writer-director of the Oscar winning Six Shooter as well as the Oscar nominated (and one of the best … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Image by Wen Shi Greetings everyone! There have certainly been whispers about this for a while but it’s time for the official announcement.

Season 5 Directed by Hugh David Written by Victor Pemberton After a nice run of a combined three missing episodes over the past three serials, we move back further into the realm of the missing. “Fury from the Deep” is … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S05E06 “Fury from the Deep”
You may know Lady Bird as the film which recently became the best reviewed film on Rotten Tomatoes of all time (I’m just happy it’s no longer Toy Story 2, the disappointing followup that was redone years later in a far superior film). … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Lady Bird
Today is a very special day in the world. A special day because [REDACTED] years ago, [ALSO REDACTED] the most wonderful person in the world was born. I could talk endlessly about how much they mean to me and I … Continue reading A Day Thread Like No Otter 11/29/2017
