“Power-lust is a weed that grows only in the vacant lots of an abandoned mind.” – Ayn Rand Turning 84 years-old at the end of November 2021, Ridley Scott is churning out movies at a rate more than most filmmakers half his age. Just last month The Last Duel was released and criminally underseen. People […]Read More
“Only by facing your demons can you stop them from having power over you.” – Auliq Ice I’ve mentioned this before with other directors but Edgar Wright is certainly in a group of particular filmmakers that elicit a kind of curiosity simply by being involved in whatever project they decide to attach themselves to. That […]Read More
“We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.” – David Bottoms As more and more new heroes and villains are introduced into the MCU it’s […]Read More
“What is a neglected child? He is a child not planned for, not wanted. Neglect begins, therefore, before he is born.” – Pearl S. Buck If you looked up Scott Cooper on IMDb you would see a filmography of dramatic films. No horror to speak of. But if you’ve seen his films you’ll know that […]Read More
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will […]Read More
“The darkest souls are not those which choose to exist within the hell of the abyss, but those which choose to break free from the abyss and move silently among us.” – Dr. Samuel Loomis If the boogeyman is supposed to create fear and shape legend then in my opinion this version of him isn’t […]Read More
“When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.” – Sacha Guitry Ridley Scott is a bit of a conundrum to me lately. This is Ridley Scott we’re talking about and yet his films as of late haven’t exactly lived up to his lofty reputation. With the […]Read More
“You know my feelings: Everyday is a gift. It’s just, does it have to be a pair of socks?” – Tony Soprano You know a show has permanently settled into pop culture when you tell someone who’s a fan of it that you haven’t seen it and they have a conniption fit. I’m guilty of […]Read More
“Some things can’t be ignored. You can only conquer your past if you choose to face it.” – Linda Wisdom The last year and a half has been a serious test for all of us. From the life altering changes like loved ones lost to COVID to a temporary loss as we’ve been forced to […]Read More
“The best relationships are the ones you didn’t expect to be in, the ones you never even saw coming.” – unknown This is the kind of movie that hurts to see simply because of the potential squandered for something so unsatisfying. I’ve heard it said and I don’t think it takes an experienced filmmaker to […]Read More
“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” – Rick Warren I walked into this one completely trusting the history of MARVEL’s previous movies having liked most if not all of them. While I think some definitely fall short of the rest, they still managed to be entertaining, […]Read More
“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.” – Maya Angelou I become more disillusioned as I get older with this idea that just because a studio is involved with one great movie, that any others they’re associated with should automatically be the same. “From the […]Read More
“All houses in which men have lived and suffered and died are haunted houses.” – Mary Roberts Rinehart Maybe I’m out of the loop a bit considering the last year and half but it feels far too long since that last really impactful horror film was released. The Night House has arrived to fill this […]Read More

Through us at Nerdlocker and our friends at gofobo.com we would like to offer you some tickets to see Free Guy this very evening, Wednesday, […]Read More
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein There’s a lot going on these days to justify people’s pessimism but there’s also a ton to be grateful for; small, some might say insignificant things but hey, we all have to get through the day somehow. In the last five years […]Read More
“I now understand why people go mad over nothing. Sometimes the mind is a terrible place.” – unknown I don’t want to speak too soon. There are many DC movies on the way, a lot of room for error there. That said, maybe, just maybe, it seems the executives at DC and Warner Bros. have […]Read More
“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all; there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.” – Anais Nin I’m not exactly what you might call a believer. What happens when life ends? Probably nothing. But […]Read More
“Arise and shine. Arise and fulfill your destiny.” – Lailah Gifty Akita I think it’s necessary for the sake of transparency to preface this review by saying The Green Knight is the kind of film in need of research and multiple viewings in order to fully understand it. Since it’s barely being released as I […]Read More
