I can’t tell you the last time I got excited for Alien…anything. For me, the franchise wasn’t a strong go-to for rewatch. Not after the first two entries. But come on, Ridley Scott and James Cameron set that bar real high, right out the gate. Many tried to reach that height but none could comeContinue reading “Aliens & Predators & Synths, Oh My!”

Paradise Records Review
I didn’t know the artist that goes by the name Logic. I know! I’m just as surprised as all of you. Being that I’m hip. Cool. And have that finger on the pulse of pop culture. Ya dig….? *Ahem* Who I DO know, is Kevin Smith. A while back, Kevin was telling listeners of hisContinue reading “Paradise Records Review”
Friendship Review
I’m usually ambivalent when it comes to A24’s releases. For the most part, their movies have premises that are not easily defined or conventional. You can’t always predict what you’re going to see. In the case of Friendship, I watched the trailer once. Being that this was a comedy, I didn’t want the jokes toContinue reading “Friendship Review”
House on Eden Review
I’ve been following the YouTuber, Kris Collins/ @KallMeKris for quite a while. Surprisingly, through my daughter’s scrolling through YouTube. She would introduce me to this person who played multiple characters in these well thought out videos. They were humorous and better executed than most of what my kid finds entertaining. It’s true and I don’tContinue reading “House on Eden Review”

Cracker Barrel’s Rebrand
Here, at Arguing With Myself, you won’t hear any political opinion from me. But there are things that make me scratch my head. The Cracker Barrel controversy, for instance, got me thinking. The removal of “Uncle Hershel” from its logo, in favor of a text-only brand is a huge misstep. Cracker Barrel has a certainContinue reading “Cracker Barrel’s Rebrand”
Weapons Review
I can’t stress enough on going into a movie cold. Look at a poster. See the cast list. If you need to watch a trailer, watch it once. That should indicate if you want to see something or not. No one needs to see the first trailer, the second or third, let alone the finalContinue reading “Weapons Review”
The Fantastic Four: First Steps
With the fifth attempt at Marvel’s First Family finally hitting theaters, our “Super-Fantastic Summer” is now complete! And let me tell YOU, it was well worth the wait. I’d like to say for thematic reasons, this is the FOURth theatrical release. I mean, technically, Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four never got an “official” release. For years,Continue reading “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”
Superman (2025)
When I stop to think about it, my first exposure to a comicbook character had to be Superman. As a kid, when I would go to the newsstand, I’d see the spinner rack and my eyes would gravitate toward that red, blue and yellow costume. That “S”…THE “S”. The one easily identified across the globe.Continue reading “Superman (2025)”
Sinners Review
There are many themes that run through the movie Sinners. Whether they are intentional or if they are just my interpretation, that’s up to cinephiles, historians, and ultimately, the man himself; Ryan Coogler. One such theme is… Race Let’s not pussyfoot around. Had Ryan set this story in any other time period, would it beContinue reading “Sinners Review”
