The Movies That Stuck With Me in 2021
Last year, I didn’t have a job. So I spent a lot of time simply existing. During that existence, I watched 137 movies. This is not that impressive of a list since I have watched many of these movies before. However, I still think that this is a lot.

Gunbuster (1998) Anime Review
As much as I love the mecha genre, I must admit that I am also somewhat dismissive of the actual works that encompass it. Mecha has such a rooted history, especially in anime. Perhaps, I feel too grown up to enjoy the likes of the super robot genre anymore. Even worse, I admit to havingContinue reading “Gunbuster (1998) Anime Review “

HisContinue reading “I Don’t Agree With Dave Chappelle and That (Should Be) OK”

I Wish I Saw Tenet (2020) in Theatres
Compared to his commercial success, I’ve often heard very divisive things about Christopher Nolan as a writer/director. Among my own friend group, I am probably his most vocal supporter, with everyone else either considering him entertaining but overly ambitious to a fault or downright pretentious. While I am a fan of Christopher Nolan’s work, IContinue reading “I Wish I Saw Tenet (2020) in Theatres”
