Introduction
This film man...this film. The Godfather Part II is often cited as the greatest sequel of all time. It's a cliche pick for sure, but somethings are obvious because they are right. Not that it's necessarily wrong to believe that the best film sequel ever is The Empire Strikes Back, ALIENS, Terminator 2: Judgment Day or any other sequel given your preference. But the truth is, at this point in my life, I…
"The Horror.... The Horror..."
43 years ago, the landscape of war cinema was changed forever with the release of Apocalypse Now, arguably the best movie ever made. A movie so incredibly demented, brutal, and apocalyptic that one might not even know how to take a breath once the screen fades to black. Everytime this movie concludes, I feel like my heart is about to pop out of my chest. I don't get scared watching films. But Apocalypse Now is the…
L.A. Confidential is an awesome neo-noir film. It's basically an ensemble piece with no clear main character but a lot of cops, mostly corrupt, that are consistently putting their own puzzle pieces into a murder case.

Screaming out certain lines, throwing spoons, yelling "BIG BLACK STAIRCASE!!" throughout was amazingly fun. And then Greg came up on stage and answered some questions about The Room, Tommy Wiseau (including how he got his seemingly mysterious fortune), and some of his…
Wow I've seen a lot of bad movies recently. Despite being a shitty movie, this was at least a little fun to see with a friend. Well... I should say it WAS fun until the ending. The last 10 minutes literally says "HAHA FUCK YOU BITCH" to the audience. It destroys the entire foundation of the film and I was actually dumbfounded. I was laughing so hard because I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing was real. Even without…
Well. I really never thought I would say this. But I need to be honest with myself. It's A Wonderful Life is my new favorite movie of all time. It's not the one I think is the most perfect, nor is it the one that I find the most rewatchable. But to put it simply, It's A Wonderful Life is the film that brings out the most emotion out of me. I haven't watched this in over a decade. But…
