    Dinner and a Movie with the Moons

    Listen, this wasn’t my favorite movie. But given the current state of *gestures to everything* there’s something to be said for watching a movie that makes you think, “Hey, at least I’m not literally getting swallowed by the Earth!”

    ICBYHST: Can’t Hardly Wait

    Okay, I was told I had to watch “Can’t Hardly Wait” by a few fellow TGS members as the movie celebrates its 20th anniversary this week. My first comment was, “uh, what is that movie?” So we were off to a great start.

    ICBYHST: FORREST GUMP

    Time and time again I have been faced with that quizzed look and almost disgust at the fact that I had not seen Forrest Gump. We were having a casual discussion as a staff and suddenly the pitch forks came out at the realization that someone who claimed to be cultured in movies had never […]

    An essential need for the new Matrix movie

    ICBYHST: The Revenant

    So it took me quite a while to finally check out the Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Revenant. Allow me to clarify the following – this was a forced viewing (Ted Flint), so I could write this damn review, but whatever, here goes. This “inspired by true events” movie won some pretty prestigious awards for several categories […]
