“Killers of the Flower Moon” (2023): Scorsese’s Demographic Destiny (Review)

★½ Martin Scorsese has traded his Catholic guilt for leftist guilt, but even before his lapse he never resorted to propaganda. His new Killers of the Flower Moon combines There Will Be Blood (2007) with Gaslight (1944), but before you get to thinking that I just praised the film, take a seat.  Then stay seated […]

V’s Legalese: Restoring Old Rights

Until recently, some of your 6th Amendment rights were not taken seriously.  Conservatives made a mess of the law.  Originalists fixed it. With this entry, I’m going to make you an expert on the 6th Amendment while making an enemy out of the ghost of William Rehnquist and Warren Berger.  And the way I’m going […]

“The Creator” (2023): Child in Time (Review)

★★★ “Sweet Child in time,You’ll see the line,The line that’s drawn between,The good and the bad.“ Seven years ago, Gareth Edwards was betrayed.  The Creator proves it. Despite what the kids say, Rogue One is a desecration.  The twerps of cinema who insist that they love that movie have its virtues and vices precisely backwards.  […]

Football’s Mount Rushmore for Each Position (In Tribute to Gil Brandt)

What he was, for nearly 70 years straight, was one of football’s most interesting people. His Wikipedia page doesn’t […]

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”– Sun Tzu, THE ART OF WAR, 5th […]

“Barbie” (2023): The Matrixarchy (Review)

★½ Have you ever wanted to watch The LEGO Movie, except less interesting, less exciting, less funny, and less fun?  How about a dull movie that pretends to be the same kind of exploitative toy commercial that satirizes modernism and conformity, and cannibalizes LEGO in everything from the use of Will Ferrell to the insurgent […]

“Oppenheimer” (2023): Cold Radioactive Ambivalence (Review)

★★★ If the entire world was destroyed in 1945, at least the commies would go with it. Oppenheimer will not decisively answer the universal questions you bring with you to the big screen.  To the extent I can extrapolate an answer from Christopher Nolan himself based upon the story of the film, I suspect that […]
