Movies, Music, and Food Through the Lens of Ryan Thompson
2018 has been a year that spoke the languages of race, directorial debuts, and integrity in bold and passionate film making. It for sure makes a difference compared to 2017 because of all the clatter with such disappointments like “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” and Oscar-bait like “The Post” (still a good movie). Last year focused […]
With the year of 2019 still feeling young like a baby pea pod, we always got to have the heartwarming, cute film that has to relate to somewhat of a pet. In 2017, people wanted to see a dog in different characteristics in “A Dog’s Purpose”. Last year, people wanted to see a rabbit voiced […]
Adam McKay has so far been proud of himself avoiding such overrated comedy slush like “Step Brothers” even though through his comedic track record, he actually directed the first “Anchorman”, it’s decent sequel, and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”, which are creative-enough satires to say the least.

He produced some of the boldest, realistic action sequels to date, which are 1986’s “Aliens” and 1991’s action game-changer “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. They not only incorporate state-of-the-art […]
In celebration of the Criterion releases announced last week, I would honestly do the greatest favor and review one the most fresh, fluid, and nightmarish movies I have ever seen, “All That Jazz”. Truth be told, my favorite director Stanley Kubrick said that this was the greatest movie he has ever witnessed. I would not […]
The expanding year of 1984 had already some of the hottest new wave bands in America like Duran Duran, The Thompson Twins, The Pretenders, and The Human League. However, for a duo comprised of Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal, it was not in their path yet. The tadpole years from 1981 to 1984 showcased this […]
Once again in the surprisingly amazing year of 2018 where we have legit good comedies and even films that pay righteous tribute to the past classic decades, there comes another one this year that pays tribute to the classic B-movies from directors like Brian De Palma and John Carpenter. First, there was the tremendous Upgrade […]
