  • 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: 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.

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) – 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…
