  • Is “Project Hail Mary” a Comedy or a Thriller?

    This is an upcoming project from writer Andy Weir, who also penned the novel “The Martian” (which also received it’s own film adaptation starring Matt Damon – which I have yet to see.) After watching the trailer, I was left wondering: is this a comedy or a sci-fi thriller? Take a look:

  • An Iconic Historical Epic

    Gladiator | Film Friday I will admit, it took me quite some time to get around to watching this arguably classic film from the turn of the century, but once I did, I could easily see why it became as popular as it did. The story is a tragic one, but one which nonetheless holds…

  • A Fabricated Reality

    The Truman Show | Film Friday This is a fascinating film, which explores the relationship between a false and a true reality, and the intrinsic human search for the truth. As one character in this film explains: “we accept the reality of the world with which we are presented.” But perhaps it is not quite…

  • The AI App That Will Make You Immortal

    2wai is a new app developed by Calum Worthy’s company and it looks like something straight out of a Black Mirror episode. Enjoy a somewhat different type of video below:

    Yesterday, I had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with one of my favorite bands: Jady, just after the release of their latest album entitled “Silver.“ Watch the full interview below in which we discussed what it means to achieve success, creating an unsettlingly inviting world, and balancing integrity and identity – plus…

  • A Pointless and Boring Musical

    Joker: Folie à Deux | Film Friday This follow up to one of the best villain focused films I had ever seen, proved to be a major disappointment on every level. Not only did it fail to live up to the expectations set by the first film, it also contradicted and undid much of the…

  • Is This The Greatest Villain Movie Ever?

    “Joker” | Film Friday This psychological thriller from the late 2010’s may be the best version of a villain focused film I have ever seen. It depicts the story arc of a classic and arguably iconic Batman antagonist, but does so in a manner that is both incredibly fascinating and somewhat disturbing. It certainly exceeded…

  • Why “The War of the Rohirrim” is a Disgrace to Tolkien’s Legacy

    The War of the Rohirrim | Film Friday This new installment in what is potentially the most popular and iconic fantasy movie franchise proved itself to be a major and frustrating disappointment, proving yet again that sequels and franchise films are not the way to go. The story is supposed to be based on Tolkien’s…

  • A Promising But Poorly Paced Show

    The Penguin | Film Friday This surprisingly good show, which is a spinoff from Matt Reeves’ 2022 film The Batman, focuses on a classic villain from the Batman Universe, exploring his rise to power among the gangs and mob bosses which run Gotham from the shadows. The story begins just after the final events of…
