War movies are a genre of film that I absolutely admire and appreciate, but tend to avoid for the most part. My reasoning for avoiding them is understandable, in a sense; oftentimes, war movies are incredibly sad as they depict the harsh realities of battle and what soldiers experience. That isn’t to say that we … More Have you seen ‘Devotion’?
Perhaps a better-suited title for today’s post would be who hasn’t seen ‘A Perfect Storm’?, and I fully admit that it has taken me far longer than intended to get around to watching this movie. I had heard of it, and had furthermore heard it’s considered to be a classic in the opinions of some, … More Have you seen ‘A Perfect Storm’?
I have a tremendous amount of respect for soccer as a sport and soccer players as athletes, but to be entirely honest, the game simply is not for me. I tried playing soccer when I was a child and again when I was a bit older in elementary school, and neither attempt proved to be … More Have you seen ‘Beckham’?
While I recognize it technically isn’t yet spooky season, it isn’t terribly far off, and given this is my favourite time of year, you can bet your ass I’ll be getting a head start on all things Fall. With Fall naturally comes horror movies, you know, because once October is here spooky season will officially … More Prepare to be scared
Ahhhh, spooky season. It is my favourite and always has been, and while the weather here in Southern Ontario is certainly more summer-like than fall-like, I can find peace in knowing the best time of year is not too far away. When Blaine and I turned on Netflix the other night, hoping to find something … More Have you seen ‘Halloween Kills’?
My mom has been trying to get to theatres to see Oppenheimer since it was first released a few weeks back. We are in our busy season on the farm, meaning it can be difficult to get away, even for a couple of hours to see a movie, so despite a few attempts to formulate … More Oppenheimer: an honest review
Blaine and I absolutely love the original Venom movie and have watched it together more times than we can count. For anyone who hasn’t seen Venom, a brief synopsis of the plot is as follows: Eddie Brock, played by the lovely Tom Hardy, is a journalist, engaged to Anne, played by Michelle Williams, who is … More Have you seen ‘Venom: Let there be Carnage’?
Blaine and I wrapped up the end of an era last week; we finally finished watching AMC’s The Walking Dead, and from start to finish, all 11 seasons, it took us about a year to get through the entire thing. Considering this has been our go-to show since we moved into our home, its completion … More Have you seen ‘Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant’?
If you’re a fan of and watch The Last Kingdom on Netflix and haven’t yet watched the conclusion to the series, the film titled Seven Kinds Must Die, I would recommend averting your eyes from this webpage to prevent ruining the movie and the conclusion to such an epic tale. I don’t wish to spoil … More Seven Kings Must Die: a disappointing end to an epic story
When I first saw trailers for a film titled Bullet Train a while back, I knew it was a film I wanted to see. I wasn’t entirely sure of what it is about, in essence, aside from being an action movie, and when I saw it had been added to Amazon Prime, Blaine and I … More Yes, you should watch ‘Bullet Train’
Earlier this week, Blaine and I were trying to figure out what to watch together. We agreed to take a small break from The Walking Dead as well as Beef, two series we have been watching somewhat consistently, and decided on a new addition to Netflix – a film titled The Immaculate Room starring Emile … More Consider this a sign to not watch The Immaculate Room
When Blaine and I were scrolling through Netflix on the weekend, trying to find something to watch, Blaine just about jumped off the couch in excitement when he saw that ‘John Q’ was recently added. I was a little clueless as to why Blaine was so thrilled to see this title, and when I informed … More Have you seen ‘John Q’?
I will begin this post by addressing the fact that while it is a recent release, thus far, the film ‘You People,’ directed by Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill, has earned some ratings that are absolute shit. Just about every Google search result depicts an onslaught of foul words and critiques towards this film, and … More Do yourself a favour and watch ‘You People’
A couple of nights ago, Blaine, in typical fashion, selected something for us to watch via Netflix. I’m pretty sure I was in the process of writing a blog while he was trying to pick something to watch, which is probably why I didn’t think much of a movie he ended up choosing called Those … More Do yourself a favour and don’t watch ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’
Blaine and I recently once again found ourselves on the Netflix homepage, trying to determine what to watch. I wanted to watch The Walking Dead but Blaine wasn’t in the mood, so naturally, we ended up watching what he wanted to. I really can’t overly complain this time because he did, at least, pick a … More Have you seen ‘Glass Onion’?
The musical genre known as rap is one that really gets me going, but I should probably stipulate I have a handful of artists I listen to, and none of them are new to the game. Eminem, N.W.A., The Notorious B.I.G., Snoop and 50 Cent are my favourites, and their work is the best in … More Have you seen ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’?
A few nights ago, before we snuggled up in bed, Blaine and I were browsing through Netflix titles, once again fighting the endless battle of determining what to watch. We were having some difficulty in choosing something, until Blaine scrolled past a movie called ‘Hustle’ which I had read and heard quite positive things about. … More Have you seen ‘Hustle’?
On Tuesday, my mom, my dad and I ventured to our local movie theatre to see the newest Top Gun movie; Top Gun: Maverick. We have been trying to get to theatres to see it for a bit now, and while our early attempts were kiboshed by wedding and farm shit, we finally were able … More Have you seen ‘Top Gun: Maverick’?
Allow me to stipulate that I do realize the film Mad Mad: Fury Road isn’t exactly a new release at this point. It premiered in 2015, and I watched it shortly after it was released. Between then and now I’ve watched a few snippets of the movie, here and there, for example, if I catch … More Can we talk about ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ for a minute?
I’ve made mention of my love for horror movies numerous times here on my blog before, but I think it is important to specify that when I say horror, I’m referring to movies that truly scare the living shit out of me, not ones that depict an insane amount of gore. The term horror is … More Do yourself a favour and don’t watch the new ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’
I appreciate a solid comedy movie. When I say comedy, I’m referring to a series or film that has the ability to make me laugh aloud, and more than once. I can list on two hands the number of movies that are classified as comedies that truly make me chuckle, so I’m always willing to … More Have you seen ‘Tammy’?
Blaine and I, the other evening, once more found ourselves aimlessly scrolling through Netflix titles, trying to settle on a movie to watch. Netflix is great, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes I honestly feel as though it offers too much selection; you can spend two hours just trying to find something to watch. We … More This is why you need to watch ‘Indian Horse’
I realize I’m a little late to the party with this film review, but I figure it better late than never. To be honest, I kind of wanted to wait for all of the hoopla pertaining to the film ‘Don’t Look Up’ settle before I watched it, so that’s what I did. Blaine watched this … More Have you seen ‘Don’t Look Up’?
A few nights ago, Blaine and I were finishing up an episode of ‘Queer Eye’ at his place. The episodes are roughly 40 minutes or so, meaning when it finished we had to find something else to watch. We wanted to switch it up a bit, so after browsing through Netflix, we settled on a … More ‘Midnight in the Switchgrass’: is it worth the watch?
There is a stereotype in existence that suggests ‘horse girls’ are weird. I’m not entirely sure how or why this stereotype came to be, but I would like to refute it, and strongly; I do not think horse girls are weird, and if anything, I think they’re, usually, the complete opposite. Any kid that becomes … More A moment of appreciation for ‘Seabiscuit’
When I was at Blaine’s the other evening, we were a bit bummed to discover that his Playstation was on the fritz and refused to load or play any films or television shows. At first, we thought his wifi network wasn’t working, but after looking it up online, we learned that the entire Playstation network … More Have you seen ‘Stop-Loss’?
My mom and I, a couple of evenings ago, ventured to our local movie theatre to see ‘House of Gucci’. We both agreed we would go and view it together when we first saw the trailer for the film, and so we did just that and had ourselves a lovely mother-daughter date. I was a … More Ignore the critics and go see ‘House of Gucci’
I’ve seen my share of fighter/boxing/mixed martial arts (MMA)/ultimate fighting championship (UFC) movies. Typically, these sorts of movies are produced and executed well, as they often follow a protagonist with a harrowing backstory that overcomes significant obstacles to get where they are in their career. I’m sure some of us find these consistent tropes in … More Here’s why you need to watch ‘Bruised’
If you use Netflix, or the internet, for that matter, there is a strong chance you’ve either seen or heard of a movie titled ‘Red Notice.’ It’s somewhat taken Netflix by storm, and as of now, it is the most viewed Netflix movie of all time. Not bad bragging rights for anyone involved in the … More Have you seen ‘Red Notice’?
I have come to the conclusion that my fiancé, Blaine, has a man-crush on Mark Wahlberg. I can’t say I blame him, really, considering the man is a rather fine specimen, and the reason I say Blaine has a crush on Marky-Mark is that whenever we are searching for a movie to watch on Netflix, … More Have you seen ‘Pain & Gain’?
