This post contains full spoilers for both The Rehearsal and Nope, and I would recommend watching both before reading. Thanks! When I was at middle school, one of the popular activities during free periods was r/5050, a subreddit that presented a kind of gamble with each link - when you clicked, you’d either see something …
A Serious Man
This review is part of a series of the best of the decade. You can read the other entries in the list by clicking this link. This review contains spoilers for A Serious Man and I recommend watching before reading this. It’s a new year and indeed a new decade – with this somewhat arbitrary …
Joker
This is one of my few film reviews that is actually topical, so it's worth noting here that this contains major spoilers for Joker and I would recommend watching that film before reading this. Ok, so this is an interesting one. It’s worth prefacing a few things. The first is that in terms of comic books, …
toatali’s best films of 2018
At 13 entries, this marks the longest of my lists this year, probably more to do with the fact that I watch a lot more films than I do play games or watch TV. Now, like my other lists, this isn’t ranked, but I do keep a very informal running list of everything I watch on …
Arrested Development Series Five
This review contains some spoilers for the fifth season of Arrested Development. I recommend watching the show before reading. I think I should probably clarify upfront that I'm not really as harsh on the fourth season of Arrested Development as many seem to be. Not that it's anywhere near the heights of the first three, but …
The Big Bang Theory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO40Nlcc-As As promised, this month's post is something a bit different to the norm; a commentary of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, providing some rough reasons why I think the show really isn't very good. This is my first video, and, much like my thoughts towards my early blog posts, I can see …
Top 7 Films of 2017
2017 continues to prove itself excellent as we move into the realm of cinema; I've seen about 50 films this year, so not everything, but not a shabby amount either, and there's a lot to recommend. You might notice that this list is in alphabetical order; that's because I was, in fact, having such a …
Office Politics
Before I begin this comparison of the two versions of the TV show The Office, I think I need to make some major clarifications. First of all, this is by no means trying to be any sort of definitive ranking of the two series, because both have carved out their own niches enough that they …
Review: The Final Season
This review contains massive spoilers for the final season of Review, and all the proceeding seasons. I urge you to watch the show (it’s only 3 seasons) before reading any further. You won’t regret it. Review isn’t, at its core, about reviewing things. Sure, that forms the basis for the life work of ‘life reviewer’ …
Review: The Good Place
It’s very rare that a sitcom actually manages to improve so considerably on a second viewing – that re-watching really makes that big a difference. But The Good Place is a rather unique show, and as such demands a re-watch, and for fans to really reconsider the groundworks the series is based on. It’s for …
