1970 Snubby Awards: The Voting

Movie Reviews: Blindspotting (2018)
Talk about the success of 2015’s musical Hamilton was inescapable for months and yet I don’t think I’ve heard a single song from it. I can safely say that I cannot comment on the quality or lack thereof of the acting … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Blindspotting (2018)

Movie Reviews: Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
Mission: Impossible as a series is one that has defied expectations.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout Spoil Sports
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discuss the twisty-turny two and a half hour marathon that is the sixth Mission: Impossible movie. Could you keep track of all the double crosses?

Movie Reviews: Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)
I don’t need to tell you about how derided found footage is or how it is underrated and can be quite effective. I’ve done that quite enough over the years and besides, since the found footage boom has passed (Wikipedia counts three … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Unfriended: Dark Web (2018)
