By the time this releases, it will be very late at night. As such, my write-up will unfortunately be very limited. This is such a dumb, but fun film. One can tell by looking at the cover alone that this is some zany shit. A dude with a unicorn hairstyle is, shockingly, not the weirdest […]

Day Twenty: Avatar (MotM 2020)
This post will be relatively short, which is ironic considering the gargantuan length of this film. If you were over the age of five and had a capable…
Day Thirty: Holes (MotM 2020)
It’s late and the head is throbbing. Gonna keep this fairly direct. Fun fact: this was, at one point, my favorite film of all time. No hyperbole in…
Day Twenty-Seven: Thoroughbreds (MotM 2020)
Another suggestion made by a friend of mine, Thoroughbreds is actually a film I’ve had my eye on for some time. The stellar ratings, adoration for the two young…
Day Twenty-Five: Promare (MotM 2020)
Look, everyone! I watched anime again! What a blast from the past, huh? Before I begin, I want to clarify a couple things: This may be a comparison-heavy…
Day Fifteen: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (MotM 2020)
Part of me wants to trash this film to kingdom come. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time left in the day, so all I can manage…
Day Seventeen: The Nice Guys (MotM 2020)
The Nice Guys features two actors that I’m very intimately familiar with. Russell Crowe was the lead in Cinderella Man, which I used to consider my favorite film of…

Day Twenty-Six: Darkman (MotM 2021)
Superhero films aren’t really my thing. Ever since the giant Marvel superhero craze of the late 2000’s, it’s just been non-stop blockbuster after blockbuster—commercials, sponsors…
Day Twenty-Eight: Adaptation. (MotM 2021)
Another short post today. Running out of time and work was heavy today.
Day One: Bicycle Thieves (MotM 2021)
Fun fact: finding usable covers for older films in a 16×9 aspect ratio is a real pain. With that said, I unfortunately do not have much time to…
Day Fourteen: Rocky IV (MotM 2021)
I might just become a Rocky trivia master after watching these almost daily. That, and these films are all almost the same.
Day Eight: Lady Snowblood (MotM 2021)
Two things tonight: This review will be short and will include a fairly big spoiler. In hindsight, the spoiler isn’t that surprising if one researches this film on…
Day Twenty-Three: Seven Chances (MotM 2021)
Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin are the kings of silent comedy. They’re the only relics of the silent age I’ll willingly go back to, and since I’ve already…
Day Nineteen: Three Colors: White (MotM 2021)
This is a pretty ugly cover; maybe it was intentional. You could always look at this cover, but it’s ultimately misleading. While a prominent figure in the story,…
Day Eighteen: Three Colors: Blue (MotM 2021)
Before the numerous superhero trilogies that spawned from the early 2000’s and onwards, there was this trilogy. The theme? Colors. Why? Uh, because.
Day Twelve: Tonari no Totoro (MotM 2021)
Brother was not available today, so I went to a back-up plan in the event of a Rocky-less night. For the OG readers of my blog, this may…

Day Twenty-Five: Columbus (2017) (MotM 2021)
I don’t know what to say. My mind is a mess.
Day Twenty: Three Colors: Red (MotM 2021)
Fun fact: Red is my favorite color. Does that mean anything to the quality of this film? Not really. Nevertheless, it’s a good omen. Probably.
Day Twenty-Two: Godzilla vs. Mothra (MotM 2021)
Not to be confused with Mothra vs. Godzilla from 1964. This is the version from the Heisei era, because I am a ’90s kid.
Day Seventeen: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (MotM 2021)
Haha, what an epic gamer movie™, am I right, guys? I love video games and leveling up and 1-UP’s. High score!
Day Twenty-One: Barking Dogs Never Bite (MotM 2021)
Will try not to spend too long on this one. I have some other things to attend to.
Day Seven: Songs My Brothers Taught Me (MotM 2021)
As obnoxious as this is, I will be heavily comparing this film to another of director Chloé Zhao’s I’ve seen—The Rider—for reasons I will get into.

Review: The Oldtown Girls (2020)
The Oldtown Girls 兔子暴力 China, 2020, colour, 16:9, 105 mins. Director: Shen Yu 申瑜. Rating: 6/10. Affectingly played daughter-mother drama is weakened by its flashback structure and contrived…
