Wicker: Movie Review
Scandalous. Bawdy. Lewd. Unconventional. Unapologetically over-the-top. These are just a few words that immediately come to mind when trying to describe Wicker , a movie that is certainly not afraid to embrace its own bizarre personality. On the surface, it's a high-concept satirical comedy with fantasy elements, set in a small medieval village, but I found it to be much deeper than I initially expected. Beneath its rather unusual premise, the film explores themes of jealousy and its corrosive power, the suffocation of patriarchal marriage, nonconformity, loneliness, and ultimately, self-acceptance. Although it does occasionally tip into being a little preachy during its third act, the underlying themes it explores are surprisingly powerful and feel particularly relevant to the modern day.

(2026) Lady
Yesterday (Oct.31) I watched this new British movie at my favorite indie theater - Cinematheque at the Cleveland Institute of Arts. This was my first trip there after I returned from Tbilisi and I was happy to renew my membership and pick up their November schedule.

My Movie Trailer Edits - Part 1
It's been a while since I started making movie trailer edits, so I thought "why not start sharing them more than ever?". My trailer edits literally consist of trailer audio covered with footage completely comprised from another movie. It's as simple as that. Some make sense to blend together, whilst others are just nuts and crazy ideas merged into one. I guess either direction is what makes it fun in the end.

Doctor Who Is A Lie!. Top Story - July 2026.
How dare they! I have been following this series since I was a young GenXer in the early 80s (the sweet spot for true fans of the shows), and discovered the adventures of the Time Lord and his companions stopping at various sites and spots, solving disasters and rescuing people, aliens and civilizations that often deserved their uninterrupted fate. That might sound cynical, but it does not take a genius to understand that there is an obvious pattern of the shows that no longer really works.

A Dark Stain on Our Pure White History: Hamilton MAGA Review
Three hours of sacrilege! The only reason to be entertained by Hamilton is if you think brown-staining our sacred patriot ancestors is acceptable behavior. Being entertained by this debacle can only be accounted to the boredom of being stuck at home during the fake news pandemic when it was released on Disney +.

Bridgeton Review: Pride & Prejudice With Porn. Content Warning.
This show draws you in with its period-piece pageantry and exaggerated personalities. It pays no attention to historical racial accuracy and flippantly explains it away. Finally, a show we can all enjoy as a family, but never in the same room at the same time. Watching Victorian porn with my mother and teenage daughter present just feels icky.
