This is a pretty ugly cover; maybe it was intentional. You could always look at this cover, but it’s ultimately misleading. While a prominent figure in the story, she has a total of 15 minute…

Day Eighteen: Three Colors: Blue (MotM 2021)
Before the numerous superhero trilogies that spawned from the early 2000’s and onwards, there was this trilogy. The theme? Colors. Why? Uh, because.
Day Twenty: Three Colors: Red (MotM 2021)
Fun fact: Red is my favorite color. Does that mean anything to the quality of this film? Not really. Nevertheless, it’s a good omen. Probably.
Day Nineteen: The Wave (MotM 2020)
This film in particular was a suggestion from a friend, and as such, I must thank them for their patronage. I very likely would not have seen this…
Day Three: Bad Education (2019) (MotM 2021)
As it turns out, my Wednesdays off encourage me to be lazy, so I think I’ll continue that with this review. Will detail some things about what I…
Day Twenty-Three: Seven Chances (MotM 2021)
Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin are the kings of silent comedy. They’re the only relics of the silent age I’ll willingly go back to, and since I’ve already…
Day Twenty-Three: Charade (MotM 2020)
Animal Crossing has sufficiently taken over my soul. Gonna try and get this out before the day ends. I haven’t seen many of Hepburn’s films, despite her notable…
Day Three: The Mosquito Coast (MotM 2020)
Don’t have a lot of time today, unfortunately, so I won’t get into the kind of detail I’d like to. This is definitely worth seeing, though I believe…
Day Ten: Rocky (MotM 2021)
If you follow my blog, you’re gonna see a lot of Stallone in the coming week(s). Might be all in a row, might be scattered throughout. But my…
Day Eleven: Rocky II (MotM 2021)
How do you make a good movie again? Do it over again. But as the meme says, “Yeah, but don’t make it too obvious.” It was a little…
Day Sixteen: Rocky Balboa (MotM 2021)
All right, it’s back to going with the promotional material. What can I say? This one kind of revitalized me.
Day One: Bicycle Thieves (MotM 2021)
Fun fact: finding usable covers for older films in a 16×9 aspect ratio is a real pain. With that said, I unfortunately do not have much time to…
Day Twenty-Eight: Adaptation. (MotM 2021)
Another short post today. Running out of time and work was heavy today.
Day Two: Reality (2014) (MotM 2021)
Y’know that meme that made the rounds a few years ago involving Cole Sprouse’s character from Riverdale going on about how much of a weirdo he is? I…
Day Thirteen: Rocky III (MotM 2021)
Oh no. Ohhhhh nooooo. Ohhhhhhhh… nooooooooooooooo…
Day Fourteen: Rocky IV (MotM 2021)
I might just become a Rocky trivia master after watching these almost daily. That, and these films are all almost the same.
Day Fifteen: Rocky V (MotM 2021)
This is my cover for this film. I’m not even gonna bother with the promotional art. I’m tired.
Day Eight: Lady Snowblood (MotM 2021)
Two things tonight: This review will be short and will include a fairly big spoiler. In hindsight, the spoiler isn’t that surprising if one researches this film on…
Day Twenty-Six: Darkman (MotM 2021)
Superhero films aren’t really my thing. Ever since the giant Marvel superhero craze of the late 2000’s, it’s just been non-stop blockbuster after blockbuster—commercials, sponsors…
Day Twelve: Tonari no Totoro (MotM 2021)
Brother was not available today, so I went to a back-up plan in the event of a Rocky-less night. For the OG readers of my blog, this may…
Day Twenty-Five: Columbus (2017) (MotM 2021)
I don’t know what to say. My mind is a mess.
Day Four: Fish Story (2009) (MotM 2021)
Guess what, everyone? I don’t have any history with this film or anyone involved with it. That can only mean one thing: I will talk about the film…
Anime NYC 2021, Day Three
Ah, Day 3, the day when I realized that I am simply not equipped to be able to sit on a floor waiting for a panel for 5-6…
Day Five: The Gold Rush (1925) (MotM 2021)
Going to be a quick piece today. The proceedings of the day did not develop a write-happy boy.
Day Twenty-Two: Godzilla vs. Mothra (MotM 2021)
Not to be confused with Mothra vs. Godzilla from 1964. This is the version from the Heisei era, because I am a ’90s kid.
Day Six: Where Is the Friend’s House? (MotM 2021)
Before saying anything about this film or how I felt about it, we need to ask the real questions, such as “What is this film actually called?” I’ve…
Day Twenty-Four: Josie and the Pussycats (MotM 2021)
Yeah, I watched this. Apparently this has something of a cult following? And is actually good? I was intrigued—cautiously, but intrigued all the same.
Day Nine: I Am Not Madame Bovary (MotM 2021)
Today’s film was suggested by a friend of mine. Said friend has already seen this, and gave it a 5/10 and called it a “chore to watch.” So…
Day Seventeen: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (MotM 2021)
Haha, what an epic gamer movie™, am I right, guys? I love video games and leveling up and 1-UP’s. High score!
Day Twenty-One: Barking Dogs Never Bite (MotM 2021)
Will try not to spend too long on this one. I have some other things to attend to.
Day Seven: Songs My Brothers Taught Me (MotM 2021)
As obnoxious as this is, I will be heavily comparing this film to another of director Chloé Zhao’s I’ve seen—The Rider—for reasons I will get into.
AniMarch Madness 2021: Round One (Day Three)
Round one continues with four match-ups today, one from each our “regions.” You can vote on the match-ups below, but we also encourage you to subscribe to our…
ERASED, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, The Quintessential Quintuplets
AniMarch Madness 2021: Sweet Sixteen (Day Three)
Round three continues with two match-ups today, one from each of two our four “regions.” You can vote on the match-ups below, but we also encourage you to…
Day Fourteen: Machete (MotM 2020)
I’m not even going to provide a witty introduction this time. My old review’s introduction is all the set-up one needs. I shit you not, this is how…
Day Five: Anomalisa (MotM 2020)
To this film’s detriment, there was a heavy load of expectations from me going into it. Three film critics whose opinions I trust—for those aware, the three members of…
Day Six: Camille (MotM 2020)
This was another one of those titles that I watched and attached a really high rating to. It’s especially curious because I remember next to nothing about this.…
Day Twenty: Avatar (MotM 2020)
This post will be relatively short, which is ironic considering the gargantuan length of this film. If you were over the age of five and had a capable…
Day Thirty: Holes (MotM 2020)
It’s late and the head is throbbing. Gonna keep this fairly direct. Fun fact: this was, at one point, my favorite film of all time. No hyperbole in…
Day Eighteen: Unknown (MotM 2020)
Coincidentally, there’s a whole lot of unknown going on in the world at present. I wanted to take this short space to wish people a safe and comfortable…
Day Ten: Fired Up! (MotM 2020)
It’s been talked about a few times leading up to this post: that sort of essence of quality that I saw in my younger days. There was a…
Day Twenty-Six: Ratatouille (MotM 2020)
This post will be fairly short, as explaining the formula employed by Pixar in basically all of their films is immensely tiring and overstated by this point. If…
Day Nine: Crimson Peak (MotM 2020)
One day, I will return to writing longer reviews at decent times of the day. Today will not be that day. From the moment I laid eyes on Crimson…
Day Thirteen: Kamikaze Girls (MotM 2020)
By the time this releases, it will be very late at night. As such, my write-up will unfortunately be very limited. This is such a dumb, but fun…
Day Twenty-Five: Promare (MotM 2020)
Look, everyone! I watched anime again! What a blast from the past, huh? Before I begin, I want to clarify a couple things: This may be a comparison-heavy…
Day Twenty-Seven: Thoroughbreds (MotM 2020)
Another suggestion made by a friend of mine, Thoroughbreds is actually a film I’ve had my eye on for some time. The stellar ratings, adoration for the two young…
Day Seven: In Bruges (MotM 2020)
Another weekend, another long day at work, which results in a short film review. Only tonight’s special: Daylight Savings! I actually have one less hour tonight to do anything!…
Day Four: Dinner for Schmucks (MotM 2020)
This was the film that made me want to add the stipulation to re-watch films from my Rotten Tomatoes days. Why? Because I gave this an 8/10 nine…
Day Seventeen: The Nice Guys (MotM 2020)
The Nice Guys features two actors that I’m very intimately familiar with. Russell Crowe was the lead in Cinderella Man, which I used to consider my favorite film of…
Day Eleven: Hood of Horror (MotM 2020)
…………………………………………………………….. I had never heard of this prior to yesterday, gracefully recommended by my brother, whom also had never heard of this prior to yesterday. My brother and…
Day Twenty-Nine: Total Recall (MotM 2020)
I’m very close to the end. The vision is clear. Or perhaps… I’m not close at all, and I never really started. What can I truly believe? Schwarzenegger.…
Day Fifteen: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (MotM 2020)
Part of me wants to trash this film to kingdom come. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time left in the day, so all I can manage…
