“ Corruption is a cancer that steals from the poor, eats away at governance and moral fibre and destroys trust. ” - Robert Zoellick Just to list a few of the insane amount of projects Taylor Sheridan is working on: six Yellowstone  spinoffs including 1883 , 1923 , and in development, 1944 , The Madison , Y: Marshals , and another tentatively titled Dutton Ranch . He also helped create   Landman , Tulsa King , Lioness , and the reason you’re here,   Mayor of Kingstown . I thi

“If on your journey you should encounter God, God will be cut.”   - Hattori Hanzo I talk about my relationship with Quentin Tarantino's filmography first before I get into The Whole Bloody Affair. Skip down if you only want to read about the film. I was fourteen years old when vol.1 hit theaters. I don’t recall if I had seen Pulp Fiction yet. My parents were quite liberal with what they let me watch when I was young but drew the line at certain content. Violence was one thi

“Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.”   - William E. Gladstone * Small Warning : As I was editing this review I realized how many times I brought up Uncut Gems and Good Time . Heads up, it's a lot. It wasn't my intention but those films had certain style choices that were clearly carried over into Marty Supreme . The comparisons were inevitable. Just sayin'... * After seeing Good Time , the Safdie Brothers’ third feature, and hearing them speak of their ins

“This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.”   - The Narrator (1999, Fight Club) I’ve made it no secret over the years that I am a David Fincher fanboy. He is on my list of creators whose name alone will guarantee me in a theater watching whatever it is they make. Scorsese , Tarantino , Nolan , Flanagan , Villeneuve , and of course, Fincher.  I’m a big horror fan and I think his movies translate well as a horror-adjacent, thriller territory. For movies as dark

"Corruption is simply crime without conscience." - George Richard Marek Just to list a few of the insane amount of projects Taylor Sheridan is working on: six Yellowstone  spinoffs including 1883 , 1923 , and in development, 1944 , The Madison , Y: Marshals , and another tentatively titled Dutton Ranch . He also helped create   Landman , Tulsa King , Lioness , and the reason you’re here,   Mayor of Kingstown . I think the most amazing aspect of so many projects in various st

“The Most Romantic Love Story Isn't Romeo and Juliet Who Died Together, but Grandpa and Grandma Who Grew Old Together.” - unknown Sometimes you can read a movie trailer like a book. You can tell if it’s going to be good or not in those brief two or three minutes. Then there’s instances where it will downright fool you either promising something great, giving you something terrible or it’s an awful trailer for what ends up being a top ten contender. I think there’s a third cat

“People’s indifference is the best breeding ground for corruption to grow.” — Delia Ferreira Just to list a few of the insane amount of projects Taylor Sheridan is working on: six Yellowstone  spinoffs including 1883 , 1923 , and in development, 1944 , The Madison , Y: Marshals , and another tentatively titled Dutton Ranch .

“May God have mercy for my enemies because I won’t.”   - George S. Patton Who needs a plot when you have The Man Who Refuses to Die as your hero? I’m being facetious of course but not as much as you might think. The first time we met Aatami he was just trying to live his solitary life. His dog by his side and riches in his satchel, he was content. Of course as life would have it, there’s often people who can’t mind their own damn business. The people in this particular story

“In real life, the hardest aspect of the battle between good and evil is determining which is which.”   - George R. R. Martin Sequels are notoriously difficult to pull off. The first film is an establishment of what’s to come. It introduces characters, settings, plot points, and themes. It gives you a visual introduction that will hopefully inspire and carry throughout. Everything about the second chapter in a franchise hinges on the success and reception of the first. This i

“Is man merely a mistake of God’s? Or God merely a mistake of man?”   - Friedrich Nietzsche Going 3 for 3 on a trilogy is no easy feat. Peter Jackson did it with The Lord of the Rings . Matt Reeves took over for Rupert Wyatt and finished Caesar ’s story beautifully. Christopher Nolan created one of the best live-action Batman storylines ever and now, officially, we can add Rian Johnson with the tales of Benoit Blanc. There is a feeling the Knives Out films give me, one
