Keeping it brief today friends, it’s May the fourth after all. I’d rather let things go down the way they’re supposed to. And yes, that is a cheesy graphic, but I honestly could not find much better for the joke in the way of license free content. So deal with it. And if you’re…
What do you mean you don’t like jazz? It just means that when I listen to it, I don’t like it. The most candid of responses, mixed with sweetness and optimism. That’s the kind of movie you can really get behind, you know? The kind that will propel film into the 21st century and get…
Let we forget, music doesn’t always have to have lyrics, and sometimes it’s even more beautiful when it does have lyrics, but we don’t understand the lyrics that we’re listening to. Because of language barriers. Just something mull over in preparation of this week’s review. Arca – Arca released April 7, 2017 ********* 9/10 Alejandro…
There are lots of great stories of triumph over adversity in the history of film. Movies that feature down on their luck athletes making it happen, business professionals that outsmart the man, and individuals with physical challenges that accomplish more in two hours then you and I could hope to in a year. People watch these…
Today I decided to write a post about birthdays, and because we’re closing in on the end of my birthday month, its more than appropriate. You know what Lesley Gore used to say right? After all, what is the point of a birthday other than to celebrate the anniversary of your date of birth, also known…
Everyone loves a good success story. It stimulates a part of our brain that is linked to the reward centre. It’s likely why motivational speakers have been really populariz over the past 70+ years, at least in western culture anyway. Quite a few years ago, I got serious about the teachings of man by the name…
Early on in my post-university education, a manager and mentor of mine recommended I read this book called The E-Myth. The full title is actually The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It. It’s a fairly quick read that explains the biggest entrepreneurial myth of all time, people…
Unforgettable. That’s what many of us wish to be. But if we’re all important, then none of us are. And that’s quite the joke. Father John Misty – Pure Comedy released April 7, 2017 ********* 9/10 Joshua Michael “Josh” Tillman, sometimes known as J. Tillman, and especially in this case, as Father John Misty, is an…
I think it’s safe to say that when you really start to watch a lot of films like me (read: five new ones a week), themes show up in patterns, actors run across movies, and tropes abound. This means that when the world is asking for more live action Disney adaptations, we offer you insight into…
I really do love The Fast and the Furious. The original movie, with all of it’s flaws, is a clear derivation from the equally ridiculous Point Break, and all of the challenges that came with telling a story about a cop gone native. The story was simple – Brian, as played by the late Paul Walker,…
