Everything (In This Movie) Is Awesome

I haven't heard anyone call The Lego Movie an instant classic, but I think it damn well should be. It is the greatest family film since the original Star Wars, and in some ways is the greatest family film of all time. The Lego Movie happens within a child's imagination. A child playing with Legos, who … Continue reading Everything (In This Movie) Is Awesome →

SJW Propaganda: A Star Wars Story

If Disney cared just a little more about proper storytelling, Star Wars could have had a legitimate, interesting, and acceptable cinematic universe. Instead, we got a poor remake of a trilogy we’ve already seen, some movie about Han Solo, and we are going to get some movie about Boba Fett, some movie about Jabba the … Continue reading SJW Propaganda: A Star Wars Story →

I'm not going to defend Marvel. Instead, I'm going to say this to hopefully (long-shot here) stop other studios from endlessly trying to make their own cinematic universes. Here is why they will always fail. In essence, it comes down to cinematic diversity.

Thanos says: "It's a simple calculus. Our universe is finite, its resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist." Uhh.... All of those … Continue reading Thanos’ Plan Doesn’t Even Make Sense →

Philosophy – The Dark Side IS Stronger (Yoda Was Wrong)

Star Wars has a kind of magic that few other movies, if any, can replicate. They are simple movies, with simple premises, simple rules, and simple outcomes. Usually, those things are grounds for a movie to be terrible, by default, yet Star Wars makes it work. The franchise is 14 years older than I am, … Continue reading Philosophy – The Dark Side IS Stronger (Yoda Was Wrong) →

Jurassic Park – Why It’s The Most Important Movie Ever

"If there's one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territory, and crashes through barriers painfully, maybe even dangerously... I'm simply saying that life finds a way." And yet we continue to develop the most advanced kind of life form … Continue reading Jurassic Park – Why It’s The Most Important Movie Ever →
