Vloggin’ In for 2021

So I’ve done some writing this year (new sci-fi short story hopefully to debut soon!), but if it wasn’t evident, I’ve been having a good deal more fun lately practicing video production and longish-form media critique with YouTube movie reviews! I like to hit a balance between “classic” riff review and more modern, thoughtful analysis; if that sounds like your thing, please consider tossing a like ‘n’ subscribe my way! Here’s what’s come out this year from my theatrical visits:

Wonder Woman 1984 — It looks great, but that’s about it!

Chaos Walking — Kinda just a lot of noise!

Nobody — A heck of a lot of violent action fun!

Godzilla vs. Kong — A familiar but fun return of two classic kaiju!

A Quiet Place Part II — Pretty good, now we just need to see the third act!

F9: The Fast Saga — It’s dumb, it’s loud, I love it.

Vloggin In’ #11: “Fatman” (2020)

To celebrate the holiday season, I took advantage of 2020’s charitable VOD selection and saw the new Mel Gibson-as-Santa movie “Fatman”! Is it worth rockin’ around the Christmas tree about, or does this action flick deserve a lump of coal in its stocking? Tune in and find out!

VLOGGIN’ IN: “Justice League” Spoiler-Free Thoughts + Review

So, for a long time, I’ve been wanting to try vlogging, or at least talking about pop culture I’ve recently digested in front of a camera.  And at last, I found the ideal opportunity, or at least one that lined up with me finally getting around to buying Adobe Premiere! (Elements, but still)

Thus, I decided to serve my very first movie review/thoughts video with a slice of low-hanging fruit: this holiday season’s Justice League, directed by Zack Snyder and/or Joss Whedon.  Enjoy!
