Oh wow. I finally did it! Just in time to be another year older. It’s been a long run. I blacked out for a while there, what did I miss?
Wait, who is running for president?!

[#366Flicks] The Magnificent Twenty-One
There are no original ideas left. Every story that can be conceived already has been. Take heart in knowing that no matter what great narrative you’ve dreamed up, someone has already done it, and better. Time is cyclical, the snake is eating its tail, nothing changes ’cause it’s all the same, the world you get’s the one you give away, it all just happens again way down the line.
But hey, no pressure, creators!
(Spoilers within.)
[#366Flicks] Everything that’s old is new again.
“Hey, guys, my sister and her friends disappeared and probably died horribly when they went camping in those cursed woods. Despite the massive search for them and it being twenty years later, this blurry YouTube video makes me think she may somehow still be alive in there! Wanna go camping with me to try and find them?”
“….yeah, no.”
THE END
[#366Flicks] While my shamisen gently weeps.
A young boy must go on a quest to retrieve three magical golden items, each one requiring the defeat of a great foe to acquire. He’ll meet mystical characters, use unconventional weapons, and discover new powers to help him along the way. Only once he has all three golden objects will he be able to defeat the magical inhuman being threatening his existence.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THE LEGEND OF ZELDA! BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!
[#366Flicks] What’s that about finishing last?
The Nice Guys features hard-boiled detectives in 1977 Los Angeles exposing a conspiracy that has resulted in the murders of several young people in the porn industry. And it’s a comedy!
[#366Flicks] For every cloud…
An undiagnosed bipolar man suffering from delusions and violent outbursts and a woman coping with depression brought on by sudden extreme emotional loss walk into a bar enter a dance competition.
Hilarity ensues! (Some spoilers ensue as well.)
[#366Flicks] Crazy Cage Is the Best Cage
What do you get when you take a movie will all the rich nuance and emotional depth of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room (reviewed here), give it some semblance of a budget, cast actual actors, and set it in New Orleans?
…well, not much.
[#366Flicks] Albuquerque
Your magnanimous movie maestro has just returned from a road trip from his home in the Deep South all the way up to the wild suburbs of Illinois. Next week he’ll be headed all the way to Atlanta for DragonCon. What better way to celebrate all this time on the open road than by watching all six of the Wrong Turn movies?
Wait…there are SIX of these things? Oy. You’d think after four wrong turns they’d be going the right direction again.
[#366Flicks] We have the Wall and the villains will pay for it.
[#366Flicks] I like the beats and the shouting.
Minor spoiler alert right at the top, I’ll mention plot points from Star Trek: Beyond that some may consider a “Big Deal” but nothing that isn’t in any of the trailers. You see, this third entry into the modern movie universe of Star Trek takes our bold crew through a rite of passage that all eventually must go through. It’s a time honored tradition that was inevitable.
