Category: Reviews
This is a list of my reviews of individual movies.
I used to rate movies on a five-star scale, but then I realized that the average rating of the movies I’d reviewed was probably at least 4.89.
That lead to the realization that I clearly only spend my time with the movies I love, which is probably time better spent.

The Sell

Check your brain at the door, The Matrix this is not.

2001: A Space Trilogy
With the recent fascination with Mars epics, you’d think it was 1982 again.

O Homer, Where Art Thou?
“Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man”
