Anime Review: The Promised Neverland -Season 1 (2019)

The Promised Neverland started as twenty tankōban volumes written by Kaiu Shirai, illustrated by Posuku Demizu, and published in Weekly Shōnen Jump 2016-2020. Over 25 million copies were sold so it was no surprise that it garnered an anime adaption in 2019 with an English dubbed version in 2020. A second season is on theContinue reading “Anime Review: The Promised Neverland -Season 1 (2019)”

Movie Review – Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

Aaron Sorkin is one of the most supercilious, self righteous and pretentious filmmakers in modern filmmaking. He’s not bad at writing but his work preaches arrogantly to the choir and aggrandizes leftist causes at every level regardless of whether it’s logical or right to do so. I don’t hate his entire filmography of course. HisContinue reading “Movie Review – Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)”

Movie Review – Tenet (2020)

To my culture critic friend Tyler Hummel, I offer a sincere apology. I am sorry that I am so late in writing a review of Tenet for your website Cultural Revue. Event after event, all in sinister succession, worked against me: The lingering effects of a pandemic, two hurricanes, three unnaturally long work weeks, sickness,Continue reading “Movie Review – Tenet (2020)”

Movie Review – On the Rocks (2020)

I’m not overly familiar with the works of Sofia Coppola. Her reputation as a filmmaker precedes her though. Famously, she starred in the most infamously panned films role in The Godfather Part 3 and then turned her reputation around with her critically acclaimed film Lost in Translation. Since then, She has worked on numerous independentContinue reading “Movie Review – On the Rocks (2020)”

Movie Review – A Rainy Day in New York (2019)

Sometimes a movie just isn’t worth the controversy surrounding it. That’s not to say A Rainy Day in New York is bad. The problem is just that it’s not a good enough Woody Allen movie to warrant two years of delays and boycotts. Then again, the controversy was never about the movie. I’m not preparedContinue reading “Movie Review – A Rainy Day in New York (2019)”

Movie Review – Infidel (2020)

The America-Right has complained for decades that there’s an extreme lack in conservative art coming out of the entertainment industry. As Andrew Brietbart famously was quoted saying, “Politics is down stream of culture.” The side of the aisle that controls news, school, comedy, TV, film, music and literature is the side of the aisle that’sContinue reading “Movie Review – Infidel (2020)”
