  Kandahar 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 25 May 2023 1

  The worst thing about KANDAHAR is that it isn’t THE COVENANT.

  The best thing about KANDAHAR is when it secretly becomes a Pakistani 007 movie.

  Everything in between? Solid! 
  Gerard “The Beef” Butler & Ric Roman Waugh deliver another B-Movie banger.

  People were surprised Guy Ritchie’s THE COVENANT wasn’t what it was advertised as. KANDAHAR is the movie you thought COVENANT was…..And Yet, the interrogation of multinational proxy war in Afghanistan that Ritchie avoids is faced Head-On by Waugh & co. Smarter than…

  Fast X 2023

  ★★ Watched 19 May 2023

  My review of FAST X is the conclusion that these old mufuckas need to hang it up. I’ve enjoyed The Fambly to various degrees but this shit is tired. More significantly, we got a whole slew of hot new action-ready stars we gotta start investing in, raw franchise potential.

  Nope 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Jul 2022

  My nigga Jordan Peele really said “okay but what if Biblically Accurate One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater” the fucking MADMAN

  Just a really interesting blend of influences, approaches, and themes; Jordan Peele’s movies wear their influences on their sleeves but they still makes for unique visions that know how to engage the crowd.

  One thing that caught my attention: The history of Black Cowboys/Horse wranglers is the history of America itself. I dare say it’s a bit of a master stroke for Jordan Peele to make the creative statement that they are a part of our cultural future as well

  Pig 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 23 Jul 2021 1

  When my mom died, I learned in grief counseling that the “phases of grief” is a myth; you’re never really over loss, it’s how you choose to carry on that matters. Grief calluses & festers in PIG, but the film also proposes that perhaps simple tenderness can be enough to heal the hardened hearts of men. 

  PIG has the spirit of literary classics like Old Man & The Sea where metaphors are profound yet direct. On film, characters apply their internal philosophies…
