“Lost in Space” Review

The Robinson family was going into space to fight for a chance for humanity. Now they are fighting to live long enough to find a way home. An enjoyable family friendly space romp that I remember seeing in the theater and enjoying at the time. I want to say this was one of the last films I remember having a song in the credits that included snippets of dialog from the film. Also that song i still a banger. Buy On Amazon!

“Jim Henson: Idea Man” Review

This Documentary will feature interviews of fans of Jim Hensons work, interspersed with footage from Jim Henson’s works, including Wilkins and Wontkins Commercials that were previously lost. A fantastic look at the much too short life of Jim Henson, as prepared by director extraordinaire Ron Howard. Of particular interest is Henson’s work outside of the Muppets and Sesame Street. There’s familiar projects like the Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, but I really enjoyed his short works that were briefly highlighted. Buy On Amazon!

Smart Brevity

‘Smart Brevity’ is a writing and communications manifesto for the information age. It will teach readers how to communicate better with fewer words and more pun As a book about saying more while pruning back the number of words, they do a good job of lending themselves as an example, the book is 224 pages long, but it’s a super breezy read. Most of that is because their primary point is that nearly all articles can be broken down into a missions statement with no more than 5 bullet points, then a “one thing you should take away”, and maybe...

“Ron’s Gone Wrong” Review

The story of Barney, an awkward middle-schooler and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally-connected device. Ron’s malfunctions set against the backdrop of the social media age launch them on a journey to learn about true friendship. There was a rush of movies with similar feeling stories with Next Gen (2018), The Mitchells vs the Machines (April 2021), then this one in October of 2021. Out of the three this is the least interesting of the three, lacking the cool world of Next Gen or the emotional depth of Mitchells, It’s still an entertaining movie that tackles heavy topics, but I...

“Stan Lee” Review

100 years of dreaming. 100 years of creating. 100 years of Stan Lee. I do love me some Stan Lee and this film is all about him!  It features less video of him and more audio and doesn’t really do justice to any of his more controversial aspects and completely skips over all his work that wasn’t Marvel related, but this is a lovely look at his life with Marvel.

“The Lord of the Rings” Review

The Fellowship of the Ring embark on a journey to destroy the One Ring and end Sauron’s reign over Middle-earth. Watching this after watching Peter Jackson’s live action films is pretty interesting, they both pull from the same source material and both directors liked the same lines from the book or at least chose the same story beats to adapt. Something interesting about this animated version is that they used a pretty cool and novel method of using film of live action actors (and horses!), applied an effect to them, then overlayed the now slightly animated looking characters over an...

“Steel Dawn” Review

In a post-apocalyptic world, a warrior wandering through the desert comes upon a group of settlers who are being menaced by the leader of a murderous gang who’s after the water they control. This film is absolute nonsense but I loved every moment of it, from the sand creatures to the sword that’s more of a dagger than anything else, to the nun chuck battles against desert bandits.
