The Sunset Limited
2011. 91 Minutes. Not Rated. Quote “I think the answer to your question is that the dialectic of the homily always presupposes a ground of evil.” Note from the writer: If you are religious, and you are easily offended, then skip this post. I am not a believer, and I talk about it a bunch in this review. This is your disclaimer. Two men in a room. Just two men. Just one room. No names. One black, one white. Both old. One...
The Big Lebowski
1998. 117 Minutes. Rated-R It’s pretty simple. Jeff Bridges is the dude. He always was, and he always will be. Very recently (like oh, the last 8 years) everyone loves Jeff Bridges, and he FINALLY got his due props, and an Oscar for one role even. I, for one, think it’s about time.

Enter Fred Ritter (Michael McKean) also struggling, while standing on the streets saying things like ” Rolex, you know the...
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
90 Minutes. Rated PG. Quote: “Strange things are afoot at the Circle K…” Needed to polish my chops for this one. Quite possibly the second best time travel movie in history. If you don’t know what the first is, you should just stop reading this right now. Just atrocious acting, stupendously bad plot, terrible special effects, the worst wardrobes 1989 had to offer, and still one of the best movies that either of...
