A Serious Man
I told you I’d be focusing on Oscar movies. I just didn’t specify they’d be from 2009. In fairness, I watched this a few weeks ago. And since my last post, I did watch 2025 Best Picture nominee The Substance and Best Animated Feature Film nominees Flow and Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. Enjoyed Continue reading

Caddyshack
I spend far too much time watching nonsense slop on my phone. Not TikTok, it’s not for me; I watch TikToks that have been reposted as Instagram Reels instead because I’m an adult. And I do that for far too long and then I’m sad about how much time I’ve wasted. I made a few Continue reading

David Byrne’s American Utopia
I didn’t set out for this to be Callback Week, but that’s just what happens sometimes. You know what’s weird? When I write a new post that links to an old post, the system tells me that someone linked to the post and I need to approve it. But I’m that someone! It’s fine! And Continue reading

Jay & Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie
As I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve long since fallen off the Kevin Smith bandwagon, but I still have a soft spot for the guy, so here we are. Also, it was late but I wanted to watch something, and this “movie” barely clocks in at over an hour. Just like how it’s late right now but Continue reading

Troll 2
At this point it’s safe to say that my creation of this blog has not had the desired effect of inspiring me to go out of my way and do more new-to-me things. Not that there’s been nothing. Early on in the summer, Mika and I stayed in a resort outside of Tofino, BC, for Continue reading

The Martian
Years ago, I had a habit of regularly buying lotto tickets. Not, like, at a problem level – just a common thing when at the 7-Eleven or Shoppers or whatever. I got enough free ticket and $2 and $5 winners that I figured I came close to breaking even. To put this theory to the Continue reading

Clerks III
There was once a time when skipping a Kevin Smith movie would have been unthinkable for me. Here I really should post this picture from the early 2000s with me and my Dogma t-shirt and my shaved head and my tiny glasses and my goatee that I never quite got around to finishing. Unfortunately for Continue reading

Stop Making Sense
I don’t like David Byrne. On a personal level, I mean. He wronged me personally. I got front row seats for his American Utopia show in Saskatoon, only for the date to be cancelled in favour of a second show in Minneapolis instead. Eternal grudge held. But then Mark told me that the Stop Making Continue reading

Pokémon Detective Pikachu
One thing I meant to mention about both Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Space Jam is that I watched them on my fancy new 4K TV* and I don’t think either of them were meant to be seen that clearly. Wouldn’t be an issue for today’s movie, though I watched it on my 15-year-old 720P TV Continue reading

Space Jam
I’d hoped that starting this blog would encourage me to sit down and actually watch some movies. Didn’t happen until we got a lightning storm, scaring my cat and sending him scurrying to the basement. In keeping him company, I had time for a double feature that should be right up my alley but that Continue reading
About Me
James. 49. Canadian. He/him. Here for everything I’ve missed.
There’s a musician with my name. I’m not him. He’s probably seen The Godfather.
