The last week has made some of John Wick: Chapter 4 hit a lot harder than it would have originally. The tragic loss of Lance Reddick has made those moments hit even harder. That aside, the movie is fantastic. My only real problem with it is the runtime, which is something I had an issueContinue reading “John Wick: Chapter 4”

Running Scared 86
I had forgotten how good Running Scared was. I had only seen it once over ten years ago and that was when it aired on TV Land when it aired movies. Seeing this movie in all of its glory didn’t really change how much I enjoyed it but it was much more violent than IContinue reading “Running Scared 86”
John Wick: Chapter 2
I had been meaning to come back and reevaluate John Wick: Chapter 2 because when I first watched it I didn’t enjoy it. I felt like there was something missing, and it just felt different. That reaction led to a conversation with a friend where he said that it was a good movie if youContinue reading “John Wick: Chapter 2”
John Wick
I hadn’t gone back and rewatched John Wick since the third movie came out. I had forgotten how amazing the first movie was. The amount of world building that happens throughout this movie from just reactions to hearing the name of the titular character. That’s on top of the more obvious worldbuilding that happens throughoutContinue reading “John Wick”
The First Fistmas
I feel like my new tradition of Fistmas was a success. Going into it I didn’t have a plan and started it by watching the first movie because I hadn’t seen it at all this year. I’m going to go through and list the movies and talk about them. First was Nobody. This movie wasContinue reading “The First Fistmas”
Hardcore Henry
I decided to end my first Fistmas with a movie connected to first movie I watched during my new tradition. I chose Hardcore Henry because it not only shared a director with Nobody but also because I hadn’t seen it in four or five years. It had been long enough for me to vaguely rememberContinue reading “Hardcore Henry”
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
I’m celebrating Fistmas this year instead of regular Christmas. For me Fistmas is just me watching action movies during Christmas Day. I decided to go with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang because it’s a movie set during Christmas, which is the baseline for a Christmas movie to me. It’s the second movie of my Fistmas movieContinue reading “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”
Death Valley
I had put off watching Death Valley for a few months, but I didn’t really have a reason other than I kept seeing other movies that I knew more about. I decided to watch it since I thought it would go along with the loose theme of action movies I’ve been doing all most ofContinue reading “Death Valley”
The Gray Man
I had put off watching The Gray Man as I had hoped to watch it around the same time as Bullet Train because I wanted to watch a few newer action movies together. I did end up watching them pretty close together. They ended up sharing something in common that surprised me, which was beingContinue reading “The Gray Man”
Bullet Train
I really enjoyed Bullet Train. It was a movie that I was sold on as soon as I saw the first trailer. I was surprised when I saw that it was an adaptation, which happened during the opening credits. I was thoroughly entertained by Bullet Train as a fun action comedy and that’s all IContinue reading “Bullet Train”
