I have varying levels of surprise and anger surrounding the lack of accessibility in any given film. Typically, the low end of the scale are documentaries that are still seeking distribution, and then on the high end of my rage machine are major projects done by studios, distributors, or streaming services where the intent was clearly for that project to be a focus, and they decided to not include us. Then, there’s Rust. This is sort of a unique animal in and of itself, because of its high amount of news coverage, it remains a bit of a sideshow in … Continue reading Rust

Woke up this morning to find out that Il Douche has decided to reopen Alcatraz as a functional prison, which I’ve been there, and it is not. So, of course, now I have to watch the Rock. He also likely had the same thought, remembered The Rock, said “why don’t they make them like they used to?”, and then put a 100% tariff on International cinema. I still have no idea what that even means functionally, as to where the tariff would be applied, or how co-productions work.

Now that it has been a few months since the release of the fourth Bridget Jones movie, I feel like I can address the elephant in the room. So, watch out for spoilers. Just a few days ago I started publishing a list of how my year in film has been going so far, and my current slotted Best Actress was Renee Zellweger for this film. That should answer any lingering questions you have ahead of spoilers as to whether or not I would recommend this. truth be told, I didn’t think the previous sequels offered much to the continued … Continue reading Bridget Jones: mad About The Boy

CBS just made the final call from their list of shows that required a decision for the fall 2025 season, and they have decided to cancel The Equalizer after five seasons. This is definitely a little surprising, since they also had in development a spinoff for LL Cool J, which they eventually did not move forward with either. I’m not terribly surprised, and I haven’t been paying attention to the future of Watson, but I hope they didn’t keep that god awful show in favor of this.

While Jason Statham seems to get a lot of unfair flack for basically playing himself in every film, Gerard Butler has also seemingly tossed away the notion of playing different versions of himself, and now just largely focuses on relatively mid-budget action films that rely on the negligible star power he apparently still offers. Since he’s already “Fallen’ three times, which feels like a lot for that franchise, we’re pivoting to a sequel to Den Of Thieves. This time, Nick (Butler) is going to get his man Donnie (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), assuming they don’t want to have another den full … Continue reading Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera
