What’s new, folks? As someone who hasn’t subscribed to HBO Max, I had to patiently wait a few months to be able to rent Wonder Woman 1984, the divisive sequel to 2017’s Wonder Woman. It had garnered tons of positive buzz and a Certified Fresh score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its Christmas Day release … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Wonder Woman 1984

My 2 Cents on Nomadland
What’s new, folks? For the longest time I’ve dreamed of getting an RV. Something I often did when I was little was flip through my second and third editions of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to RVing, a book that fueled the flames for my wide-eyed adoration of life on the road and traveling to any countrywide … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Nomadland
My 2 Cents on Raya and The Last Dragon
What’s new, everyone? We’re continuing to live in the period where any variation on “Here’s the update on COVID-19” remains a common phrase in the news, along with “Here’s the report on America’s history of anti-Asian discrimination and violence.” In the meantime, we can enjoy Raya and The Last Dragon, the Disney Princess animated feature that … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Raya and The Last Dragon

What’s new, readers? Let’s dive straight into the breakdown of Tenet, the 2020 espionage thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

What’s new, readers? Finally. After all this time, after the damn COVID pandemic, we can catch bullets and wait an hour for hot sauce in Tenet, the 2020 spy thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Soul
What’s new, readers? I mean, aside from the coup that President Trump’s MAGA minions attempted at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, a date that will go down in infamy for our nation. It’s genuinely disturbing, but not one bit surprising, that a riot like this actually took place and resulted in five deaths thanks … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Soul
My 2 Cents on Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
What’s new, readers? As of the time that I’m posting this, Joe Biden continues to inch ahead in battleground states, but the votes aren’t finished being tallied yet. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is trying to halt the vote-counting with a desperate onslaught of litigation and apparently has no plans to concede defeat. Seriously, I can’t wait … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
What’s new, readers? Are you still as shocked as I am that Rudy Giuliani reached into his fun factory in Borat 2? And that Jared Leto will return as the most-hated incarnation of the Joker in the Snyder Cut of Justice League? And that the election is coming up in ten days? I’ve said this over and … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
My 2 Cents on Interstellar
What’s new, readers? Travis Scott recently teased “The Plan,” his theme song for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet.
