British Comedy month 3 – In Bruges
Normally I’m not a big fan of black comedies. Sure, individual dark jokes can be hilarious, but when that’s the main focus of a comedy, well … I’d rather watch something that’s more light-hearted if I’m in the mood for … Continue reading

British Comedy month 1 – Hot Fuzz
I’ve been interested in doing a theme month on British comedies for a while. There’s something unique about British comedy compared to North America comedy that I can’t quite explain, but it often feels more intelligently written compared to North … Continue reading

Back to the Future Part III
I’ve been interested in looking at the Back to the Future series for a while now, but it just feels right to take a retrospective look at this timeless trilogy following a month focusing on Western movies. Why? Because Back … Continue reading

Back to the Future Part II
When Back to the Future became an instant phenomenon, with a joke ending that implied a sequel, you know a sequel was guaranteed at some point. Director Robert Zemeckis said that no sequel was planned, and he and co-writer and … Continue reading

Back to the Future
With most movies I’ve seen, I have a fairly good memory of the first time I saw them, especially if they had an impact on me. I don’t remember the first time I saw Back to the Future too well … Continue reading

Western Movies Month 4 – Shanghai Noon
I didn’t plan on the first three Western Movie Month reviews to all be about relatively dark, serious movies, but that’s how it turned out. While “The Searchers”, “True Grit 2010” and “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” are … Continue reading

Cheesy Christian Movies Month 2 – Newsboys: Under the Big Top
Unlike most Christian movies, this one doesn’t really have a central message. It’s mostly a silly comedy, created by the Australian Christian pop rock band, Newsboys. There’s very little information about the making of this movie online. In fact, like … Continue reading

War Movies Month 4 – Hot Shots! Part Deux
As much as war is a serious subject, whenever I do a War Movies Month on this blog, I like to talk about at least one movie that shouldn’t be taken seriously. Last time, I looked at Hitler: Dead Or … Continue reading
