Boss Level 2020
”I mean this whole thing’s just so cobbled together”
Well, ground my hogs, it’s another time loop movie!
This one kicks off with some cheesy manic fun that really captures the video game aspects of time looping. Frank Grillo is great as the cavalier captain of chaos and Joe Carnahan is having a giddy good time with his assassination freak squad.
However, it tries way too hard to make sense of non-sense science, and completely overreaches for emotional punches that…

Coming 2 America 2021
”If something is good, why ruin it?”

Out of Print 2014
”In a sense you could call it a temple.
It’s a temple to movies.”A bunch of talking heads talking about the thing I love!

BONUS POINTS for the piece on Clu Gulager, which absolutely touched me.
”I’ve gotten a lot of friends from sitting in the dark.”

Ghosts of Mars 2001
Cinematic Time Capsule
2001 Marathon - Film #122"They started cutting people’s faces off and wearing them for masks."

It’s nowhere as good as it could have been, but it’s still some stupid fun and sometimes you just need a spoonful of sugary stupid action to help the popcorn go down.
"You got any fresh ideas?"
"Yeah, what we should’ve done in the first place."

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness 2020
”Not a single animal benefited from this war…not a single one.”
I have so many unanswered questions…
What happened to Don Lewis?
What does the word Bhagavan actually mean?
Do the pizzas vary from day to day depending on what Wal-Mart products are available?
And most importantly, where do I get the complete collection of uncut Exotic Joe music videos?”Some mistakes were made…some attitudes got out of hand…”

Training Day 2001
Cinematic Time Capsule
2001 Marathon - Film #118”You a long way from Starbucks, homie.”
Easily one of the worst orientation programs ever.
I once had a job at a video rental store and my first day was almost exactly like this.
”You figure that joke out,
you’ll figure the streets out.”
