Previously known as Let the Credits Roll, this is a semi-monthly feature in which I discuss the movies I’ve seen recently. In the past two months, I watched eight movies. Six movies were new to me, but two were rewatches. If you’d like to keep up with my movie-viewing in real time, feel free to [...]

Movie Wrap-Up: January 2020
Previously known as Let the Credits Roll, this is a semi-monthly feature in which I discuss the movies I’ve seen recently. Because I watched six (well, six and three quarters… I’ll explain later) movies in January, I figured now’s as a time as any to take a look back at them. Most of these movies [...]
My First Anime Experience: “Promare” Discussion
Okay, so Promare isn’t technically my first experience with anime. I did grow up on Pokémon after all. I’ve also watched a few episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena. But this is the first anime production I’ve seen in full, so I say it counts. The only reason I went to see this movie is because [...]
So, How Do I Feel About “The Lion King (2019)”?
The Lion King (1994) is the greatest movie of all time. I’m not being facetious— I genuinely believe it is a perfect film. I used to watch it on repeat when I was little, a story my father still regales us with over two decades later. At 26, I still regard it as my favorite [...]
Let the Credits Roll: A Look Back at All the Films I’ve Watched the Last Few Months
So, it’s been a minute since I’ve last posted. Where have I been? Well, about two weeks ago I broke my ankle. Despite not needing my ankle to write, I just haven’t felt up to it. I’ve been pretty down (especially since I was supposed to go to a music festival this past weekend) and [...]
Daily Inkling: Work of Art I Enjoy More Now
Daily Inkling is a meme run by Normal Happenings in which they post a new prompt every day. It’s a good way to help your readers get to know you a little better. What is a work of art (book, film, video game, written work, visual art, etc) that you liked when you were younger, [...]
Let the Credits Roll: A Look Back at All the Films I Watched January 2019
You guys may not know this about me, but I keep a list of movies I want to watch. The problem is I watch movies so rarely that list just keeps growing. On the rare occasion I do knock a movie off the list, I just wind up adding two more in its place. It’s [...]
Hot Takes on The Weeknd Controversy, Cassandra Clare’s Lawsuit, Drag Kids, and More
We’re only halfway through January and so many things have already happened. Perhaps that statement seems obvious, but it seems awfully early in the year for me to already be writing one of my patented many-opinions pieces (not actually patented). And yet, here we are. This’ll probably take a hot minute, so let’s just cut [...]
The Top 6 Best Movies of 2018
Out of all my lists, I’d say that this and my Worst Albums of 2018 are my most controversial. How can a best list cause controversy? Because, as someone who knows little about film, I tend to prefer movies experts either call guilty pleasures or outright hate. And the most frustrating part? My uneducated opinion [...]
The Top 4 Worst Movies of 2018
I’ve been very transparent about the fact that I’m not well-versed in cinematography. I don’t know a lot about film theory. This stuff just isn’t my forte. But that doesn’t mean I can’t tell a good movie from a bad one. I know what bad acting looks like. I took theater for a year. But, [...]
