Hundreds of Beavers
by JarvixSchmarvix
The kind of movie that wears all of its seams proudly on its sleeve. To criticize its no-budget effects, look, and feel is to miss the point completely. It does anything for a laugh, even if it mea...

Opus
by JarvixSchmarvix
Despite mixed-to-negative reviews, I really wanted to like this, and I think I liked it more than I didn't. The plotting is unrealistic and has holes, for sure, but I didn't mind much if it got us ...

Weapons
by JarvixSchmarvix
It seems I don't like this as much as most moviegoers do. I did make a point to go in blind, which I think enhanced my experience, but I also had high expectations based on the buzz around it. Weap...

Paper Moon

I think this may be my new comfort film. Nine year olds smoking, doing crimes with there could be "pa" ... i mean come on they've got the same haw. This is cinema.

Secret Mall Apartment
by Jeff Richardson
I'd been told to watch this. I'm glad i did tonight. I thought it was going to be about a secret mall apartment (it was) but i didn't expect it to be so touching. Loved the art they did with tape....

Pi
by JarvixSchmarvix
A masterpiece. The high contrast black & white is gritty, gorgeous, and a perfect statement for a film grappling with perfection. Unlike some tortured genius movies like A Beautiful Mind, this neve...

The Running Man
by Jeff Richardson
I had no idea this was Edgar Wright. It started out pretty weird for a feature film, but I had fun watching this one. It was a convenient but satisfying payoff.

RECENT DEEP DIVES
Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, And A Path Backward Through Hegel
I've been reading Benjamin, Adorno, and Horkheimer, and the more I do the more I realize how much of what they're saying comes from conversations with the thinkers before them. It feels like walking into a room where everyone’s already mid conversation. This deep dive is my way of tracing those voices backward. I want to understand where ideas come from, how they evolve across time, and what they say about art, memory, and what it means to create something that feels alive.
Reign of Terror
Comprehensive Timeline of Ryan Walters Reign of Terror in Oklahoma and Beyond For the first time in modern Oklahoma History, nearly every parent in Oklahoma was in agreement that Ryan Walters was bad at his job. Across party lines, Oklahomans celebrated when he officially resigned. Within days, his mandates are began to get struck down one by one. But Ryan doesn't exist in a vacuum, he was strategically chosen and propped up to a position of power. If he was so hated, why didn't he end up getting removed from power sooner; and more importantly: Who helped him rise to power, and how do we stop something like this from happening again?
