I cannot say that I have ever been a huge fan of Hellboy. But I simply keep watching the movies. I will eventually add the animated films to this list.

Ranking the Star Trek Films
The Star Trek films are truly fascinating. There are three different and distinct eras of films but there are deep connections to what came before them in some way. These different eras are not just different in terms of the casts but also in the vision and tone of what Star Trek looks like. It was a very unexpected pleasure to go back to the beginning and watch them all in order. Continue reading Ranking the Star Trek Films

Films to Re-Watch: Barking Dogs Never Bite
I imagine my journey with Bong was not an uncommon one: I saw Snowpiercer and Okja first and then saw Parasite. After not being wowed by those first two films I saw, Parasite felt eye-opening. I then went back and watched everything he did, and none of them hit as hard as Parasite did (but I still mostly liked them). And there I sat for a half-decade before I ever revisited Bong again. I have finally done so, and here is how I am feeling about his films now.
The NBA Book Canon
Okay, I am cheating here. This is a film and television website/blog. BUT HEAR ME OUT. NBA books are the essentially this long informal serialized series that reminds me of A Song of Ice & Fire (only if they were written better than what Martin puts out). The Palace Intrigue dynamic is just electric. The catty drama is insane. So, in honor of the HBO ’80s Lakers Series that is inspired by Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s, I figured I would begin this project.
(Now, amusingly enough, said book on the Lakers is not now, nor scheduled to be included. It is frankly quite mid. As you will see, a single volume on a franchise meant to cover many years is often an inadequate combination.)
***LIKE ALL LISTS ON THIS WEBSITE: THIS LIST IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED AS I READ MORE NBA HISTORY***
Ranking the Eastbound & Down Seasons
After watching Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals, I obviously had to go back and finally watch the original Danny McBride HBO show. Here is how I rank the seasons.
Ranking the James Bond Films
The James Bond series is one of the most iconic film series in the history of cinema. It has been going pretty much for over six decades. There is a lot of mediocrity to be found in these films, but some of are quite good. It was also genuinely quite surprising to see which ones I liked and disliked. I spent a long time going back and watching all these. Enjoy.
Top 10 James Bond Villains
James Bond villains can become relatively infamous in pop culture. It was pretty jarring to learn in my James Bond journey though that most of them are not that interesting. Here are the best ones.
