  • Dogma – Mumbles

    Bartleby’s Fall Affleck’s turn as Bartleby is one of the most underrated performances in Kevin Smith’s whole universe. The slow burn from weary angel to full-blown zealot is brutal to watch but impossible to look away from. His monologues about faith, purpose, and punishment hit harder than you’d expect in a movie where Jay threatens…

  • Dogma – A Jay and Silent Bob Movie (Just With Angels)

    The Bias I’ll be honest right off the bat, I’m biased. Kevin Smith can do no wrong in my book, and Dogma just proves it. It’s one of my favourite movies, full stop. The mix of philosophical debate, religious satire, and that distinct Smith dialogue hits exactly the right balance for me. It’s smart, stupid,…

  • One Battle After Another – Mumbles

    Lockjaw Unleashed Sean Penn absolutely dominated every frame he was in. Lockjaw is one of those characters that shouldn’t work on paper, completely unhinged, unpredictable, and just slightly terrifying, but Penn makes him magnetic. You can’t look away. Every line delivery feels like a threat wrapped in performance art. The man steals the movie and…

  • One Battle After Another: Chaos, Carnage, and Commentary

    First Impressions Going in, my partner and I checked the runtime and thought we were about to sit through some long snoozefest. Nearly three hours? That’s usually a red flag. But honestly, this movie was genuinely fucking entertaining. It kept me hooked from start to finish. Casting & Performances The casting was spot on. And…

  • Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) – Mumbles

    Nigel & His Cheese Nigel’s cheese obsession is next-level. The fact he actually had a stash hidden in the back of his guitar was ridiculous even by Spinal Tap standards. Him treating it with this soft-spoken reverence, like it was holy relics instead of dairy. The Drummer The drummer was awesome — she gave the…

  • Spinal Tap II – The End Continues (2025) – Legacy, Laughter, and Fuckery

    The Feel I liked the feel of the movie, it really did feel like the first. They leaned into that same mockumentary awkwardness, the kind of humor that sneaks up on you rather than trying too hard. The comedy isn’t quite at the same level as the original, but that’s almost impossible anyway — it’s…

  • Weapons (2025) Mumbles

    Right, strap in — this flick’s got more holes than Swiss cheese. Let’s peel back the layers and see what’s actually left: 2:17 a.m. — the big recurring number is at least explained: it’s the exact time Gladys snapped that twig to take control of the kids. Fair enough, mystery solved… except it still feels…

  • This Is Spinal Tap (1984) Mumbles

    Alright, let’s get into the stupid shit that makes this film legendary. First up — the amps that “go to 11.” It’s such a dumb idea but also genius, because you know some egotistical rockhead has actually thought that was a good plan. More volume? Nah mate, just better numbers. Then the Stonehenge bit… You’re…

  • This Is Spinal Tap (1984) – Big Hair, Bigger Egos, and a touch of Herpes

    This Is Spinal Tap (1984) – Big Hair, Bigger Egos, and a touch of Herpes

    Where the fuck do I even start with this classic? I’ve seen it about five times now, and honestly, the first watch didn’t click. I didn’t get the hype. So I gave it another go the very next day and it just… hit different. Plot Brief Shot as a mockumentary, the film follows the British…

  • Tenet (2020) Mumbles

    *Spoilers* Right, let’s get this straight: I don’t hate women, I don’t hate children (most of the time), but holy hell did Nolan milk the “I’m only doing this for my child” trope to death. We get it. She loves her kid. No need to remind us every five minutes while she tortures herself about…
