25 Christmas Movies in 25 Day completed. 2019
I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to not having to watch another Christmas Movie this year. I think Hallmark nearly broke me. Along with the Hallmark wannabes, this year Christmas adventure was filled with some of the worst written cliched garbage I have had to endure in a long time...

I am starting to hate Christmas movies. I may have burnt out the number of good to great Christmas movies, because this year %90 of the movies I have watched are either dull, boring, insulting, and but all headache inducing. And just when I start to feel that this task I put myself through each y...

25 Christmas Movies in 25 Day (and 25 Hallmark Christmas movies too) 2019
I may be running out of good Christmas movies to watch. The good ones that I stumble upon are strictly by accident now. "Klaus" was great, and I have a feeling that it might be the best this year, especially after this shit show of awful Christmas movies. Sure there was a bizarre shock, but for t...

25 Christmas movies and 25 Hallmark Christmas movies in 25 days.
December 1st and I found time to podcast, shop, do laundry, and watch two films. Which allowed me to watch my first Christmas movies for the season. Now I am knee deep in watching the 25 Christmas movies and 25 Hallmark Christmas films in the next 25 days to Christmas. The challenge is to watch 2...

No Idea November 2019 completed
It use to be a challenge to find 30 films that I have no idea what they are before watching them. Now with all the streaming devices, all the screeners copies, the gifts from our listeners, suggestions from fellow cinephiles, and the fact that my memory is not as good as it used to be, it is very...

Lucky 13 (SPOILERS ALL) by Liam Leroux
Lucky 13 (SPOILERS ALL)by Liam LerouxThis is my 13th monthly Movie Jerks blog post I’ve made in a row and I was privileged enough to see a couple of the best films I’ve seen in my life. I missed "The Lighthouse" on opening night. Movie Jerk alumnus James Ross spied me in the cinema lobby and ask...

No Idea November 2019

One of my favorite ways of watching a film is to go in fresh of any misconceptions of what I am about to see. While I do like seeing movie trailers, I would prefer to start a film with no information about what I am about to see. This is a rare task to achieve each year, as movies sent to us also...

31 Horror in 31 Days 2019: Completed
Ok so I am a day early. I did this so I can watch a horror film on Halloween that I know will be satisfying, instead of taking another gamble on the weirdness that is out there in Horror land, because last week I got another addition to the 2019 Worst Films list.For those of you curious of the bi...

In ALL Seriousness, by Liam Leroux

Joker.I identify too closely to the titular character for my own comfort. It’s a simultaneously brilliant and disappointing film which ultimately concludes as merely adequate, not important but not a waste of time. Which is appropriately identical to my own life experience.It’s entirely worth it ...

31 Horror in 31 Days 2019, Part 3
Posted
This past week I ended up seeing both my favorite horror of the years (so far) and one of the worst horrors comedies I have seen in a very long time, plus one of the worst films of 2019 that I absolutely had a blast watching it, in spite of and because of all its faults. Here's the latest updates...

31 Horrors in 31 Days 2019, 1st weeks
I am glad to hear that others have been jumping on the tradition of watching 31 horrors in 31 days. It's always nice to hear what movies people like to take a chance on or revisit during this month. I made a video about some of the most popular films along with some that we suggest for those that...

31 Horror in 31 Days 2019 Starts today.
October 1st means that it’s time to start another 31 movies in 31 days. And as a quick reminder, while most people just pick some of their favorite films, we the tradition up a notch and watch 31 new films that we have never seen yet. This rule usually causes us to watch very bizarre and often te...

"Wrong Ending" by Liam Leroux
Short and dirty, to comply with my self-imposed adherence to a monthly deadline for a year. I write this at the eleventh (or 23rd, more properly) hour of the final day in SeptemberReady or Not had the wrong ending. It was almost a perfect film but they fucked up the finale and I was annoyed.This...

Sci-fi Sept 2019 The final week.
And we have come to an end to another Sci-fi Sept, the month when I watch a new (to me) science fiction film each day. Like past years, I discovered a few gems among a basket of shit. This last week, well I cannot lie, it was pretty brutal. Luckily one film was a pleasant surprise and reignited m...

Sci-Fi September Week 3
Well, I think I found the worst film of 2019. I know there's still a lot of terrible films that still haven't seen this year but this is a pretty strong performer. It is so bad, I know it's going to be seen again during one of our Movie Jerks podcasts.Usually when I get closer to the end of the m...
