5 old can't-miss movies (silent/foreign)

One day, while trying to nail down my favorite movies (future post?), I recalled a few that go way back, I've only seen once and I really...

The Winter Soldier

Probably my favorite plot arc of the entire MCU is the development of Bucky Barnes. Captain America has been my favorite Avenger since...

Mediocre movie, great scene (Batman/Vader)

There aren't many pop culture characters bigger than Batman and Darth Vader. Even if one's an all-time villain and the other the greatest...

Ted Lasso

After first seeing ads for Ted Lasso I just wasn't that interested. A show starring Jason Sudeikis, about soccer in England, and on Apple...

Frozen

Just like Moana before it, our (first) son is currently completely obsessed with Frozen. It's the songs, mostly, though the full movies...

1917

My wife and I finally watched 1917 last weekend and I can't stop thinking about it. If not already apparent I like writing about...

Without Remorse

I read a lot as a kid, certainly more than I do now. In 8th and 9th grade I crushed most of the then-current main Tom Clancy novels....

WandaVision

I'm a big fan of Marvel and the MCU, even if I've never been into actual comic books, and they've been just about the only movies my wife...

A Knight's Tale

I can't help myself. After reading and writing about the Hundred Years War and the Black Prince I was always going to watch A Knight's...

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I don't know why I ever doubt Wes Anderson. Though, maybe 'doubt' isn't the right word. For whatever reason I always hesitate after...

The Crown s4

The Crown is a Netflix made, lavishly produced, phenomenally acted look at the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It's pretty crazy...

The Mandalorian theme

The Mandalorian season two resumed late this year (my thoughts from s1) without missing a beat, and keeps getting better and better. I'm...

Muppet Christmas Carol

Christmas movies aren't a must-do thing for me. Still, every year we see a number of them. Elf (2003) and White Christmas (1954) are my...

To give the Covenant back their bomb

As happens periodically, I'm drawn to play through the old Halo campaigns. It'd been years since attempting Halo 2 Legendary and I hadn't...

King Connery

Sean Connery, probably my absolute favorite actor, died a few weeks ago. There's something fitting about it all ending in the Bahamas....

Artemis and angst

Recently I watched Hotel Artemis, currently available on Prime. Set in Los Angeles in the near future, the city is crumbling and burning...

Weekly reset

My wife has a mostly typical work schedule and is usually only busy during the week. Like most people, the weekends are for everything...

Cannae

The book I'm reading now was given to me by a friend, and it's called Carnage and Culture. It looks at nine battles where 'western'...

31 days of Halloween

I've watched a lot of movies and, sure, I like horror, though usually only in October as a lead-up to Halloween. My wife is really not a...

Dr. Seuss

Lately we're reading more and more Dr. Seuss . Soon after Jack was born we acquired (can't remember if it was a gift or what) a little...
