Unapologetic Boomer - I had no choice when my parents were doing it

Now, i watch a lot of movies, drink gravy, drink bourbon and drink coffee and as an old person no longer fear death -since death fears me

Laughing about stuff is my number one priority

My ★★★★★ review of King Kong on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/dSX44J

A ★★★★★ review of King Kong (1933)

This movie occupies a special place in my heart. In addition to it being one of the best monster movies ever made, it’s one of those movies that was shown on channel 11 on Thanksgiving morning along with Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young. I’d watch those three movies and then go deal with the stupid monkeys in my family. As a kid, this movie scared the shit out of me (it didn’t help that the poster for the movie showed Kong four times as tall as the Empire State Building). As an adult, it continues to enthrall.  A

A ★★★½ review of Moon (2009)

Cerebral sci-fi with a minimalist budget from the guy that eventually did...Warcraft. Still my favorite Sam Rockwell performance (close second being 3 Billboards) despite having a fake beard made from the remains of highway roadkill. The less you know going into this the better, but if you didn't actually see it in theaters in 2009 it was probably spoiled for you but it doesn't lose much of its power even if you know the second act turn. Leslie Bibb uses this movie as porn.

A ★★★★★ review of Destroy All Monsters (1968)

Seriously, aside from the earlier Toho Kaiju efforts this is the real deal and the template for Legendary’s Godzilla:King of the Monsters. Great direction, terrific story and action make this a compelling watch. My only complaint is that in this movie , as in other Showa films, the Japanese military has such bad aim. Loads of ordnance are fired but none seem to hit their target.  It is set in 1999 and takes a page from 2001: A Space Odyssey - which came out a year earlier - in terms of the ease of futuristic situations such as videophones from

A ★★★★½ review of Anatomy of a Fall (2023)

I am a sucker for courtroom dramas but if I never hear P.I.M.P by 50 Cent again it won’t be too soon. At least the movie didn’t ruin Dolly Partin’s Jolene for me.  A man falls from the top floor of his chalet in France. Did he commit suicide or did his wife kill him? This winner of 2024’s Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is a Wow of a film. It is one of the best courtroom dramas to hit the cinemas since The Verdict in 1982. It deservedly won the Palme D’or at Cannes.  It’s about relationships as

#Watching THE DARK AND THE WICKED

Patience pays off as this slo-burn horror movie makes you look at your elderly parents in a different way. Maybe send them to a nursing home sooner rather than later.

A ★★★½ review of The Dark and the Wicked (2020)

Patience pays off as this slo-burn horror movie makes you look at your elderly parents in a different way. Maybe send them to a nursing home sooner rather than later. I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Cancel all the lemon parties and watch this movie.

A ★★★ review of Pizza Movie (2026)

Two college students, Jack and Montgomery, are outcasts. Because of some unspecified thing they did to the football team, they are held down every Friday night and are fatter in their faces by other students. They decide to drink themselves into oblivion and eat a pizza. But someone broke their bottle of Dog Dick Whiskey. But then they find a ten year old box of M.I.N.T.S. which are really a mind altering substance. Which they should have taken with food but they didn’t. So their trip down two flights of stairs to get the pizza becomes an adventure. Especially when

A ★★★ review of Pizza Movie (2026)

The perfect movie for when you can't figure out the perfect movie to decide on. Stoner comedy that's slightly better than you think it's going to be, but only just. If you've just come home from the theater after watching The Drama, think about this movie while others in your household monologue ad nauseum what they thought about it. Be sure to nod and pretend to agree.
