Mix bag of my Isolation viewing.
Not a day has gone by in the last month where I wasn't asked about which films I have watched and what movies I might recommend. For those of you who know my movie watching patterns, it would come as no surprise that the films I watch usually don't turn out to be the films I would recommend. This...

Movie Jerks Pandemic Week #3 (1600 words, approx) by Liam Leroux
The Beatles have a song called 8 Days a Week wherein Lennon/McCartney posit the necessity for an extra day in the week to express the amount of love they have for a woman. Clearly Harrison was the best lyricist in the Beatles. Nevertheless, I hope the song served as some small inspirati...

Tis the season: Virus films.
Due to our latest shut downs due to Covid-19, one of the number one watched films on Netflix last week was 1995’s, Wolfgang Petersen’s “Outbreak”. While viruses show up in many films, as zombies outbreaks, or as super-villain’s plots to destroy the world, and excuses for end of the world post apo...

Weeding Through So Much Movie Content
