We’re going to be shifting gears a bit this week on the Bucket List, because it’s time to talk about a low-budget little film from indie filmmaker Steven Spielberg known as Jurassic Park. Maybe you’ve heard of it? Perhaps because it’s one of the highest-grossing and most beloved films […]
I’ve been in a fascinating position the last few weeks of Cinematic Century, because I’m looking through movies that I have vivid memories of seeing in theaters, while also feeling like I’m about to be turned into dust with the realization that these films that feel like […]
I end up talking about a lot of different directors during this Cinematic Century project, some of whom get brought up several times. For the most part, this has taken the form of a director having a hot streak, and knocking out several years worth of favorite […]
Welcome to the eighties! It’s time for a bunch of huge blockbusters, and some of the most eccentric and weird movies that I’m going to be covering during this entire project! By and large, I’m not the biggest fan of films from the 1980’s. I know that […]

I’ve been a voracious consumer of stories for my entire life. A whole lot of this site has been devoted to me talking about how much I love movies and the Simpsons, but one of the more obvious sources of stories that I don’t talk enough about is novels. […]
I’ve mentioned a couple times on the site that I have a deep love of James Bond. And while I know the things James Bond does aren’t really accurate representations of espionage (there’s less speed-boat chases) he was my gateway drug into the world of more spy fiction. […]
This weekend I got to spend six and a half glorious hours marathoning the Indiana Jones trilogy up on the big screen at the Alamo Drafthouse, and I guess I’m here to report that it’s still amazing. Obviously they didn’t put in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, since that movie stinks. It always […]
This weekend I got the chance to revisit a classic and amazing film, up on the big screen for my first time. Jaws! And I suppose I’m here to tell you that it’s till amazing, and you should go see it. Shocker. But it really is still an amazing […]
