Game Change (2012) - ★★★★☆


For a movie which is exclusively about terrible, evil, horrible, awful people, this is pretty good. Frankly, I'm extremely surprised that I have never been obsessed with Sarah Palin, since she's just the kind of tragically evil figure I can really get behind. Unfortunately, this movie was not capable of igniting that passion within me, mostly because I watched it at a time when most of my spare brain power is taken up by watching videos of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir figure skate. Sorry, Sarah! I can't even muster up enough interest to watch your recent performance on the best (worst) television show ever made, The Masked Singer. I thought about it, but as soon as I opened up the youtube app, I clicked on this video instead. Whoops!!

I would say the other thing that makes this movie really worth viewing in late September of the year 2020 is that it provides an incredibly potent reminder of just how much Joe Biden's brain has melted in the past 12 years. Not great, folks!

The Thin Red Line (1998) - ★★★★☆

Today, I am reminded of a poem by Stephen Crane titled " War is Kind ." This is a pretty tricky poem to understand, because the narrator keeps repeating the phrase "war is kind" throughout the poem. But at the same time, you sort of get the feeling that war, in fact, is not kind at all. When something is so contradictory, it's easy to get lost in the weeds; one might simply assume that this Stephen Crane guy, whoever he is, does not really have a mastery of the English language. That, or maybe he wrote the poem on opposite day. I'd like to proffer another possible solution to this issue. Maybe Stephen Crane was being ironic! If you think about it, 'kind' is probably one of the last words anyone would use to describe war. Even people who think war is good probably would not call it 'kind'—killing people is not really a 'kind' activity, any more than being killed is 'nice' or 'fun.'

The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - ★★★★★

A shockingly underrated and under-talked about Woody Harrelson masterpiece. Reminsicent of the classic Marty Robbins banger, "Tall Handsome Stranger," this is a must watch for cowboy fans and Woody Harrelson fans alike. Unequivocally Woody's best cowboy role!!!!!

Edtv (1999) - ★★★☆☆

I love friendship!!!!!!! I love it when people are friends!!! Whenever I come across a new set of friends, I filled with a sense of delight so large I dare not even put it into words. The friendship that has dominated most of my summer is that of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S. Truman from David Lynch's Twin Peaks .  Harry and Coop are a perfect example of everything a good pair of friends should strive to be. They love hanging out together and enjoy doing many activities with one another, from eating donuts, to drinking coffee, to solving murders, to entering evil zones.  Harry and Coop sharing a beautiful friendship moment!!! When I sat down to watch Edtv , the last thing I expected was that I would learn of another friendship as beautiful as the one shared by Harry and Dale. But expectations be damned! That's exactly what happened. Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaaheuseygh met on the set of Edtv in 1999, and since then, they have been the best of friends, b...
