"I Hate Musicals" by Liam Leroux
I Hate Musicalsby Liam LerouxIt’s embarrassing. I don’t want to hate musicals. It’s boring to hate something so many other people love. Of course it wasn’t boring to hate Twilight but that’s because Twilight is not only terrible but also presented colonialism and white supremacy as sexy and...

31 Days of Horrors 2020: Final week
I finished my viewing early this year. And unlike other years I certainly saw more films than the 31 I intended to view. I did a random horror review that I didn't count in my 31 days (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og2-yo9wr3U&t=11s) which added 4 to the 31. Plus I ended up watch a fe...

31 Day of Horror Week 3 2020
I feel like any intro would be just repeating the same information I have laid out on the past weeks. So here's this week's watchings. Day 19A Werewolf in EnglandThis is a glass half full or half empty film. Some people will see the low budget in the make up effects, the one location, ...

31 Day of Horror 2020: 2nd Week
There are an awful lot of horror movies about Halloween events turning deadly. While I was intending to watch as many of the same themed horrors I found myself dosing off when the same premise came up. It is a hard premise to avoid right now, as there are so many Halloween events gone wrong...

31 Days of Horrors 2020 - First week
It appears like my, like other people's, Halloween will be primarily watching horror films. Basically all my go to public Halloween events have been temporarily canceled for the year. So thankfully, I have the 31 horror films in 31 days to fall back on. This year I am going to try and ...

31 Days of Horror 2020 - Day 1
While 2020 may have everyone re-evaluating their Halloween traditions, one activity that will remain the same is the ability to enjoy a horror film. And like years past, I like to challenge myself to watch 31 horror films I have never seen before in 31 days. Why? Well, because nothing makes...

Sci-fi September 2020 - Complete
I know this is a day early... but I have other things to get to. Besides I still met my requirements of watching 30 new science fiction films I have never seen before within 30 days. Well, truthfully... I over shot this year and ended up watching 34 movies during this. Turns out I forgot th...

Scifi September 2020 - Week 3
Boy this month is cruising by quickly. Perhaps that might be caused by the quality of science fictions films I have been taking in this year. Usually by week three I am anxious for the month to be done. But this time around it feels like it is going to pass by too quickly (strange feeling f...

Sci-fi September 2020 Week 2
Here's the continuation of the Scifi Sept movie watching. It is nice to get a few letters from other people that are doing the same thing this month. I like hearing from those that have spent their lives not seeing some of the most important scifi films ever made. One writer (who would like to re...

Sci-fi September 2020 week One
I usually have to struggle to find films each year that I have never seen. I am often in the know the grand majority of films that are out there. This year, going through Amazon Prime's selection base, I've become more aware that I have a long way to go to know every film out there in the m...

Sci-Fi September 2020
After a few weeks hiatus from podcasting and movie reviewing, it is nice to get settled in to a new place just before September Sci-fi kicks off. For those of you who do not know “Sci-fi September” for the whole month, I watch 1 new science fiction film (new to me that is) each day of the ...

Interlude: Three Films by Sidney Pollack by Liam Leroux
My assignment from Wife this week was the films of Robert Rodriguez, with director’s commentary on. I’m well looking forward to this, especially after the brutal psychological endurance tests of her selected Disney films and the entirety of the Twilight series special edition bonus content releas...

Week Number 10: the Disney Assignment by Liam Leroux
I know this lockdown thing has lasted for more weeks than 10 but you know, time flies when you’re terrified. Funnily enough, I’m not terrified of the virus. I’m no epidemiologist but I understand the basics of viral transmission and our city is doing a not terrible job. Social distancing and mask...

Films for Pride Month (2020)
While I am taking caution side of avoiding Covid 19 during the month of June and avoiding social events, this does stop me from my own personal way of supporting Pride month by watching Pride films that I have never seen before. While movies focusing more on LGBTQ lives get released more frequent...

Black Lives Matter by Liam Leroux
What a stupid title. I’m outraged it’s not obvious. I’m outraged the NYPD wasn’t completely dismantled 20 years ago after Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times and Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about it. I’m outraged the LAPD wasn’t indicted as an entire organisation after Rodney King was beaten in th...
