Movies, Music, and Food Through the Lens of Ryan Thompson
I swear, 2021 proves once again that it is the speediest year of all speediest years because it is. I finally am talking about Christmas to you guys! Ever since I started my Twitter account back in 2019, I posted you all folks photos of my Christmas presents my parents gave me and the sight-seeing […]
Ever since May 16, 2020, I have been spinning my entire album collection from A to Z on what to me is the greatest audio format of all time, vinyl. I thought about this as a strategy to speed the pandemic even faster and it is working tremendously. To keep you guys updated, I am […]
Representation has been a problem in Hollywood for such a long time. It is without question one of cinema’s greatest and pleasant offerings. It completely rules that filmmakers like Sian Heder can make such an endearing film like “Coda” that can pay so much respect to the deaf community similar to how Tyler Nilson and […]
“Relax. It’s a kid’s movie,” says the brainless mother who puts on “The Boss Baby” and “Arctic Dogs” for her six-year old children. This quote in the beginning of my review right there sums up Malcolm D. Lee’s completely ridiculous product placement extravaganza “Space Jam: A New Legacy” because it will be something parents would […]
On Monday, May 24, 2021, I got an intensely exciting emotion that never happened during this pandemic. My local drive-in theater was about to show “A Quiet Place Part II”, a movie I was planning to see as my first movie theater trip since last March. I started to jump out of my skin alerting […]
Let me just fathom this, ladies and gentlemen. I cannot believe that it has been just one year ever since COVID-19 made every building lock down and every one of us had to be locked down, too. Not to get too personal, but I have been awaiting extremely patient to get back to my accustomed […]
Lately, a lot of movies that were filmed during the current pandemic (that I thankfully refuse to see) were heavily panned by critics such as the Michael Bay-produced “Songbird” and Doug Liman’s “Locked Down”. I am proud to say we now finally have one that is definitely full of merit and energy. Let me introduce […]
2020 really has been our society’s worst nightmare indeed with grotesque racism, people losing their jobs, murder hornets, and of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. With all of last year’s events listed, all of us as a society have grown sick and tired of 2020. That does not mean we can treat 2021 the same as […]
It will be very depressing to not see the wonderful Chadwick Boseman’s acting in the future. His death like everyone else is one that I still cannot process like how it is with Robin Williams and Prince. Yes. It won’t even process when I get to be 82 years old. Director George C. Wolfe’s rousing […]
When seeing Aneesh Chaganty’s genius debut feature “Searching” back in 2018, it was something of a miracle to behold. Watching the way his story unfolds with its characters, tension, and unpredictable twists made it what is my favorite film of that year. Hearing that Aneesh Chaganty was making another movie brought so much excitement to […]
