"Beyond the Gates" Week 14 Review
So Beyond the Gates started the fourteenth week of existence a day late. Why? Monday was Memorial Day. So the show actually aired a rerun for the first time in its short existence. The show has had quite a few preemptions already. The first one was caused by March Madness, which is understandable. After all, it's March Madness. Then there's the preemptions due to UEFA Soccer, and that bugged me a bit, because while BTG was preempted, CBS affiliates were somehow able to air new episodes of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Hmmm.

My Review of "Scream 3"
Scream 3 is the third installation of an interesting franchise. It came out 25 years ago and the only thing that shows its age is the mechanics of how this movie was made. For the most part it is a fun and competent movie. The problem is that it is mostly forgetable. There are a few portions that stand out in this movie but it's nothing will stick with me for a long time.

The Effin' Life
Now this was an effin’ great book! There is so much about this memoir that I want to share with you, but let’s get some basics out of the way: I am a fan. It was not always a guarantee that I would love the best Canadian rock and roll group of all time (and is that hyperbole?). I was born in the inner city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to working-class immigrant parents from the Caribbean. A rock and roll group that wrote songs about a future where music would become illegal and titled certain tracks as “By-Tor and the Snow Dog” or “Solar Federation” would not be popular with a generation devoted to soca, zouk and kompa (look those up). It was not until we moved to the suburbs that I discovered that the older brothers of the boys in the schoolyard – always the boys only – had copies of the best years of Rush.

Wes Anderson
“I aimed for whimsy, but landed on twee. It’s a fine line, people, it’s a fine line.” This is something I can picture my imaginary 1940s screenwriter persona saying. Fed-up with the intensity of films noir, set in the mean streets of dimly-lit cities, she has turned her hand to some light comedy. It doesn’t work. She knows it hasn’t worked. It’s just – well, twee. Too sweet. Lacks bite.

"Black Bag," "G20," and "The Amateur": Brief and Not-So-Brief Opinions: Part 19
The Amateur, G20 (Prime Video), and Black Bag. … The 'brief and not-so-brief opinions' articles are my outlet to rant about or appreciate movies, shows and their elements. I will express my thoughts while watching and after or only after watching, it depends. I will not be rating. These are not spoiler-free for the most part, and no research will be made for or about them (unless it's out of curiosity or accidental, which would be mentioned). They are in no particular order of recent watching as well. However, the opinions are based on the order in which the movie or series is viewed (for the most part). This wouldn't be as structured or detailed, and there would be no set number of picks per article. It would be just as things go. It is intended to be casual. So think…conversations about movie plots, characters, topics, or something like that.
