“Us” Is A Chilling Indictment of Classism
This film is a great example of smart, nuanced horror in every department from the writing to the shots to the pacing. This movie will frighten you and has some good scares, but they never feel cheap or forced. It’s held together by dark, but tight and brilliant writing as opposed to simple jump scares and gags.
Bottoms-Movie Review
This is a 2020s Roger Waters movie. There’s just a lot going on here and for the most part, I thought it was great.
Helldivers II: First Impressions
A little late, as always, but believe me when I say I’ve been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 recently. And this is more than just hype. This game is good. Really good. It’s the online co-op game we’ve needed for a long time.
Elden Ring Shadow of The Erdtree Trailer: Thoughts and Reactions
Finally, it’s here! Or at least the trailer- we know it exists. Elden Ring’s “Shadow of The Erdtree” DLC is coming out on June 21st, right in time to dominate the summer.
Rap Snacks Reviews: Lil Baby “All In” Chips
Rap Snacks are like the occupants of the Animal Farm. Some Rap Snacks are good, but some are gooder than others. This one is gooder than others.
Barbie Got Me Messed Up
Barbie was one of the best movies I have seen recently, at any level. It’s such a brilliantly shot, acted and designed movie that sometimes you forget the foundation it stands on is this perfectly written, perfectly structured script. It artfully moves you from Act to Act smoothly, and there’s never really a sense of a loss of pace. There could be an argument made that the occasional singing and dancing scenes could take you out of the movie, but because this movie is Barbie, I would argue it absolutely doesn’t.
Paris Texas Is The Future of Music
Rap and rock have traditionally been opposed. Both genres and their conventions have lent themselves to elements of rawness, but together, there is a bitter harmony that I believe will be the defining sound of the 2020s before the decade is up. Enter Paris Texas, an alternative hip hop group comprised of rapper-producers Loiue Pastel and Felix.
This Is Not A Drill: Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Review
Went to the store to buy Flaming Hot Cheetos and a vape. BANG! There they were. The new Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Cheetos
“The Oxbow Incident” Is A Haunting Story of Justice Gone Wrong
he Oxbow Incident might seem like a small film. But its emotional impact is devastating. This is a classic Western, but it really is underrated as a classic film. Very few movies have told a story this chilling as simply and succinctly.
Music Reviews: keep it going!!!-xaviersobased
I know nothing about this artist. He also doesn’t seem like a real person. The beats and bars are repetitive, clawing melodies out of jarring rythyms that don’t work the first 5 times you hear them. Then, somehow, after xaviersobased says it for the 6th time, it sort of works
The Finals: First Impressions
The Finals! A hot new freemium/Battle Pass game from Embark Studios, makers of…..(looks it up)….ARC Raiders and wim (literally what it’s called). Never heard of them. However, I’ve heard of The Finals. I’ve been watching it on Twitch since it was in pre-release.
Lego Fortnite: First Impressions After 10 Hours
If Lego Fortnite was a finished game being sold in stores, you’d think it’s fun, but a little underwhelming. But as a free live-service game in it’s first update cycle, it shows a tremendous amount of potential.
Rap Snacks Reviews: MoneyBagg Yo Dill Pickle Jalapeño
Never underestimate a hustler. And don’t underestimate this chip. The MoneyBagg Yo Rap Snack, Dill Pickle Jalapeño flavored, is a bold and boisterous chip with style and the perfect amount of kick.
Gate of Hell Foresaw The Incel
Today we’re talking about Gate of Hell, a 1953 jidaegeki (period drama) film. Set in 12th Century Japan, the movie focuses on a samurai Endō Morito, and his obsession with a lady-in-waiting Kesa. It’s not a classic love story. It’s actually a painful and scary love story, mainly because it’s so realistic.
Rap Snacks Review: Nicki Minaj Nocho Nachos
Like many things in life. the Nicki Minaj Nocho Nacho is an allegory for the profound disappointment that will eventually overtake us all.
The New York Times “Book of Movies” Is A Cinephile’s Dream
What makes this book great, is I would recommend this book to almost everyone. If you don’t like movies, this will keep you on a path of good ones. If you love movies, there will be absolutely be some cool ones you haven’t seen in here. If you’re just a normal person who enjoys a flick every once in a while, this is a great reference book.
Returning To Elden Ring: Rivers of Blood Edition
After a few months off, I finally made my glorious return to the Lands Between, eager to make some new builds for the upcoming DLC which…remains upcoming.
Cruising: A Review Pt. 1
A cruise ship is a very strange place. There’s unlimited food, unlimited drinks and pretty much everything to do. The ship I was on had a waterslide, hot tubs, swimming pools, a basketball court, like 15 bars…I mean it was basically a floating city block.
