‘Independent CNN Oversight Board’ To Be Hand Picked By Paramount

Earlier this week we noted how California Democrats fecklessly folded to Paramount's demands and settled the 12-state antitrust lawsuit against Paramount's $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. We also noted how the conditions affixed to the deal are largely pathetic, and generally consist of a lot of performative fluff Paramount itself recommended and California AG...

Fast & Furious 6

Last night we watched Fast & Furious 6, which was entertaining but felt a bit dumber than the previous film. Everyone lost 50 competence points between movies, it seems. Instead of a clear genre, it just felt like a big generic action movie. It also centers on Letty, a character that I did not particularly warm […]

Not content to eff up Roald Dahl books, it seems Netflix’s approach to C.S. Lewis will be less than faithful too. Do I trust Greta Gerwig enough to still pay to see this? It was one of my favourite books. (Why does Jadis look like an alien go-go dancer?!)

Last night we continued our immersion in the FFCU with the fifth movie, the appropriately named Fast Five. This one jumped genres again, with this one a classic Ocean’s Eleven style heist. It’s got a “putting the team back together” montage (including several fan favourites from the first four movies); loads of competency porn; stunning action sequences […]

🍿 Watched The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) on Disney+

⚠️ **SPOILER WARNING:** FULL SPOILERS **My Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (4.5/5 stars)** Overall, I liked it a lot. I think Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau do the Star Wars Universe justice. My favorite moments were probably the little guys and Grogu. I...

the raygun documentary keeps waiting for the joke to introduce itself

about twenty minutes into Untold: Raygun — Breaking Badly, i posted that the documentary was teetering on the edge between documentary and mockumentary despite being 1000% earnest. this is still the most accurate review i can offer. the movie is…

Last night we continued our immersion into the FFCU with the fourth movie: Fast & Furious. Not only is it confusingly named, it also jumps back in time to before Tokyo Drift, the third movie! (The overall timeline continuity took us like a third of the movie to work out.) And finally we get some returning characters […]

the movie you loved at 20 gets a vote forever

in 2009, (500) Days of Summer felt precision-engineered for being 20. revisiting it now means seeing both the movie and the person who first loved it.

The Sixth Sense

5/5 Stars Just watched the 6th Sense for the first time. Yea I know, shocking. Such a good movie! What a twist at the end. Haley Joel Osment is such a great actor and of course Bruce Willis is amazing. I’m not usually into suspenseful movies. But this one was excellent. It makes me want

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift

Okay, somehow we managed to watch three movies from the Fast & Furious Cinematic Universe in less than a week. 😬 Last night was The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. I knew that it wasn’t going to have any characters in common with the first two, but I was still surprised by the opening. “Is […]

⚠️ **SPOILER WARNING:** FULL SPOILERS **My Rating:** ½ (0.5/5 stars) Don't waste your time. It looked interesting and had some big-name actors and actresses, but it wasn't worth it. The movie was too long for the ending it had, and the...

Tim Curry’s “Toxic Love” from FernGully remains an absurdly committed lesson in how destruction sells itself as appetite.

2 Fast 2 Furious

Me: Are we doing 2 Fast 2 Furious tonight? Rodd: Maybe it’s 2 soon?? We went straight into the second film in our Fast & Furious binge last night. We knew going in that Vin Diesel wasn’t in this one and that the only character that carries over is Paul Walker’s. And while I was […]

The Fast and the Furious

In happier news, last night I realised that Netflix AU has most of the Fast and Furious movies. I’ve never seen any of them, so I convinced the Snook that we need to watch them all. We watched the original The Fast and the Furious last night, and we both found it really entertaining! We had both […]
