A Blog Both Wonderful and Strange

So, I realized that I own a good number of films on DVD that I haven't watched before. Same case with a bunch of public domain ones I got off the Internet Archive. So, I figured, why not finally watch them and do reviews while I'm at it? If I could get screenshots from the films on my DVR and the ones I watch in theaters, I'd do some of those, too, but whatever. I'm expecting most of these DVD and downloaded films to be bad, so this might be pretty fun. And I'm going to spoil the heck out of these things because I'm going to dissect them as much as I want. Also, I'll probably review other films I own on DVD that I have watched before. Actually, I'll review anything I darn well please. Okay? Just expect a Manhunter review after I actually read Red Dragon . Because that film is great, you guys. The very first victim of this blog's film reviews is the 1982 sci-fi action Chuck Norris slasher film, Silent Rage . First off, you must understand th...

The most constant question asked to Bond fans: "Who is your favorite Bond?" Being a fan of James Bond (do I italicize that? It's the name of the franchise, but it feels weird italicizing a name), I have thought of this question many times. Rather than listing my favorite Bonds from worst to best or best to worst, I will just list them chronologically and give my thoughts on each of them. Note that I will only be discussing the Bonds of the EON film series, as I have never seen the 1967 Casino Royale and it's been years since I've watched the Climax! episode or Never Say Never Again. I will compare each portrayal with Ian Fleming's character of the novels (to the best of my ability as I'm only on the third book as of this post, so I may come back around to update!) as well as my own personal praises and criticisms. Without further delay, here we go. Sean Connery First off, Connery is one of my favorite actors to ever grace the big screen...

I hinted at the end of my last blog post that the next one would be about James Bond. The one after this one will be. Although this one does have some James Bond in it. So, I'm officially on summer break. And there are a lot of things I want to do over the summer. Going to skip over the boring stuff like work and just get to the things that I'd totally blog about if I ever feel like doing so. Film/Television I'm not going to list every single film I'm going to watch over the summer because I'm going to watch a lot of them, many I'm not planning on ahead of time. And I can't even think of any specifically that I want to watch, aside from what we're planning on doing for  Adventures in Celluloid . I'd like to aim for at least one film a day. I'm probably going to do another Twin Peaks rewatch. Or a few. Yeah, probably a few. Definitely a few. I'll probably also watch a good amount of Monty Python. Almost as guaranteed as Twi...
