Motor City is a Piece of Trash!
I really wanted to love Motor City . But I came out hating it. Even my favorite Reacher Alan Ritchson as the protagonist couldn't save it for me.

Beyond the Sparkle: Why the “Twilight Saga” Is More Overrated Than Iconic
A major cultural phenomenon can change young adult fiction without being a literary masterpiece. Almost two decades after Bella Swan and Edward Cullen first gained attention, an important question remains: did Twilight earn its iconic status through superb storytelling, or did perfect timing and unique cultural momentum play a bigger role?

Motor City is a Masterpiece
If you always wanted to see a solid bloody action movie with no words, Motor City is for you. The movie has exactly six lines of dialogue. Some critiques will say it's five, but the word "Hi!" uttered by two different characters, even though it's the same word, is still two lines of dialogue. By the same token, they should count the "I love you!" line uttered twice with different levels of intensity as one line and then it will be just four total lines. But does it really matter when the movie is was conceived as non-verbal?

The Creator Who Sold His Masterpiece for ¥32M — Then Got Paid €21.5M to Make It Again
Four months ago, when news of Xia Siyuan’s resignation from Lingze Technology first surfaced online, most people took it as the standard ending to yet another Chinese indie game project that had fizzled out. The development team was disbanded on the spot, social media was flooded with doom‑mongering, and the mournful narrative of “the creator crushed by capital” went from initial murmur to established consensus in under twenty‑four hours.

When Stephen Chow Called You God and Feng Xiaogang Called You Garbage: The Real Problem With Chinese Cinema’s Director-Versus-Audience Wars
I. One Market, Two Radically Different Postures In 2026, as Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Women's Football swept the box office, the director—once notorious for his exacting standards—faced the cameras and said: "Every record is broken by the audience. You are the greatest! The box office wasn't created by me—it was created by every single viewer who bought a ticket and walked into the theater."

The Odyssey
Today is my son's birthday but he had to work, so I gave him a present of watching a 7 am show of The Odyssey in a true IMAX 70mm format, the way Christopher Nolan intended it to be seen.

Miss it or Watch it? (My Latest Movie Adventures)
The Invite (2026) Director: Olivia Wilde, Actors: Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan This movie was not what I thought, and I am so disappointed. “The Invite” stars Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton. Rogan was hilarious, but felt misplaced. It’s a set-in-one-location dinner party. Based on the trailer and the first hour, Olivia Wilde appeared to be experimenting with unique storytelling. I said to myself, “It doesn’t look like it will be porn.” Oh... I almost walked out. What have films come to now? Why do they need porn angles? “The Invite” was fine just as it was, with the couples engaging in talks about their lifestyle and hobbies.

Eleven Ships. Three Minutes. No CGI.
The first stone left the cliff edge while the sea was still green. Over two meters in diameter, limestone, its surface crusted with dried barnacles. It took roughly four seconds to punch through the deck of the first ship. The wood split from the center, cracks racing toward bow and stern like an invisible blade had sliced it clean down the middle. There were seventeen oarsmen aboard. They were furling the sail when the stone landed. No one looked up.
