Now, Ray Mendoza's … Continue reading Blu-Ray Film Review: Warfare
Blu-Ray Film Review: Grave of the Fireflies
★★★★★ For decades now, I have heard nothing but praise—and warning—about a devastating little masterpiece called Grave of the Fireflies. Now, it comes to gorgeous steelbook format from GKids and Shout! Studios. Directed by Studio Ghibli co-creator Isao Takahata, nothing could have prepared me for the total devastation that awaits. Mere minutes into the runtime, … Continue reading Blu-Ray Film Review: Grave of the Fireflies
Film Review: The World Will Tremble
★★★★ Based on a true story and set primarily in 1942, The World Will Tremble approaches the devastation of the Holocaust from an angle not often explored.

Effortlessly epitomizing everything I loved about gleefully demented cartoon Happy Tree Friends, this Spanish feature crams in more … Continue reading AIF 2022: Unicorn Wars
Film Review: The Greatest Beer Run Ever
★★★ In what is shockingly based on a true story, The Greatest Beer Run Ever can essentially be broken down to one sentence: a jokester bro spreads peace, love, and most importantly, American beer to various soldiers around Vietnam to help keep up their spirits deep into the War. Mainly, the film is a dramedy, … Continue reading Film Review: The Greatest Beer Run Ever
