  Novocaine 2025

  ★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  A fun time!! Notice, what I didn’t say was “what a logically coherent time!”

  Yeah this movie is fun… fun enough to keep you engaged through all of its flaws!! 😅 It’s a really solid idea to have an action hero protagonist incapable of feeling pain, plus the obvious humor you’d expect to arise from that premise is genuine and really effective..

  The Book of Eli 2010

  ★★★ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  It has its obvious shortcomings… but boy this one is FUN. The classic post-apocalyptic / barren wasteland movie with a unique and truly captivating plot. Denzel and Oldman are stellar.

I’ve also been greatly infatuated with how news media covers the world around us, especially the most gruesome of life’s broad circumstances. 

  I bring all of that up because those factors greatly affected my viewing experience. There were moments I…
