‘The Ultimate Playlist of Noise’ Review — A Sentimental Ride
You probably haven’t heard of this movie. It doesn’t have a Wikipedia page, it’s been excluded from most of the 2021 release calendars, and there has been very little marketing. However, this is a Hulu original film that premiered last week, and now that I have seen the film, I don’t know why.
Jonathan SimPublished 3 months ago in GeeksA Letter From Donald Trump to Joe Biden
On this Inauguration Day, 100% reputable news source CNN released a report stating that former president Donald Trump (MAN, that feels good to type!) left newly elected President Joe Biden a “very generous letter” before not attending Biden’s inauguration like a petulant child. I, professional freelance journalist Jonathan Sim, have obtained a copy of that letter. This is what it read.

Jonathan SimPublished 4 months ago in GeeksTop 10 Best Movies of 2020!
“It’s been a wonderful year for film, and here’s to 2020. Hope it’s even better.” I wrote that sentence on my “Top 10 Movies of 2019!” list last year. I know. How foolish of me to think that 2020 wouldn’t be the absolute dumpster fire of a year it was. With movie theater closures, nearly every movie release being pushed back, and a push to streaming services, 2020 has been the absolute worst year for film.
