Brent’s Top 10 Movies of 2020
It’s not a fresh take to say this year has been one of the crappiest of my (and probably many of our) lives. We all did our best to find things to keep us busy, from getting really into new video games, reading, or whatever other weird hobby you may have picked up....
Brent’s Top 10 Movies of 2019
As we've begun not only a brand new year, but a brand new decade (more on that in a minute), it's time to take a look in the rear view mirror. This is my 11th year doing one of these Top 10 lists, and as usual, it was a joy to write about some of the best, and my...
AVENGERS: ENDGAME Review
***THIS WILL BE A FULL SPOILER REVIEW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*** There was more than one or two moments while watching Avengers Endgame, that I stepped outside of myself for a moment. like Dr Strange in front of the Ancient One, (or the Hulk briefly in this film) I had...
Brent’s Top 10 Movies of 2018
If you’ve been following me on social media for a while, then you know that every year I rank my favorite movies. This is actually the 10TH YEAR I'm doing so (man, we're all getting old). I started by making tacky photo-shopped images with my favorites back in 2009,...
‘Upgrade’ Review
As I try to remind myself every year, the best movies I'm likely to see are ones I hadn't even heard of beforehand. The movies that sneak up on you and smack you upside the head with surprise and startling originality. Upgrade is one of the first movies to do that for...
Top 10 Movies of 2017
Another year is behind us, so that means it’s time for everyone’s ‘my favorite ________ of 2017’ lists. This year, I’m folding to peer pressure and changing the ‘top 8’ favorite movies to ‘top 10’ because honestly, there were too many awesome movies and I originally...
Fall 2017 Update!
Hey, this blog still exists! It’s been about half a year since I’ve written anything up, and it’s been a bussyyyyy time in my life. Got married, started a new position and found out I’m going to be a father next spring! Amidst all of those changes, I’ve still somehow...
Get Out
It seems like every year in recent memory, there’s been another great new horror release from a first time director, and 2017 is no different. Last year I wrote about ‘The Witch’ from Robert Eggers and previously there was 'The Babadook’ and 'It Follows’. We’re...
Logan
I’ve never been the biggest fan of the X-men movies. I look at them like I did the Harry Potter series: I’d go see the newest entry, have a fun time, and almost immediately forget about it when I leave the theater (the one exception being Matthew Vaughn’s far...
John Wick: Chapter 2
John McClane. Jason Bourne. James Bond. Ellen Ripley. These guys (and gal) better watch their backs, because there’s a new action hero on the scene, and for my money, he could take all three of them, no problem. With 2014’s ‘John Wick’, director Chad Stahelski...
