Read more "2018-19 NBA Opening Night"Game over man, game over. Warriors three-peat, the NBA is rigged, and parity is dead. Why watch when one team is certain to dominate the entire association? The other storylines mostly, and the possibility of an insane upset perhaps? After LeBron’s big move to Los Angeles, the Warriors upstaged everyone by signing arguably the most […]

I’m aware I run the risk of making myself sound like a crackpot, but if you’ve been following along since For You, then you’re probably a little loony as well.

Read more "Retroactive Review: Love Symbol Album (1992)"No one I’m aware of is really excited for this movie, least of all me. That’s what I find truly disturbing about this; I find myself trying to promote this movie to casual moviegoers more than the trailers and other casual moviegoers. ’90s nostalgia is in full force currently, and 20th Century Fox is banking […]

Read more "Retroactive Review: Diamonds and Pearls (1991)"Paramount Pictures sixth installment in their Mission: Impossible franchise hit theaters on July 27th to incredibly positive reviews. Christopher McQuarrie is the first returning director for the series, continuing where Rogue Nation ended; writing his fifth screenplay for a Tom Cruise film. His direction is noted, as the camera work and cinematography is very similar […]
Read more "Mission: Impossible – Fallout Review"A $2.4 million veteran minimum contract is all that is needed for the Rockets to sign an eroding Carmelo Anthony. Clint Capela potentially re-signing to a larger deal is the only thing preventing this franchise from further cementing themselves as the best chance out West to dethrone the Warriors, but much like Apollo 8, the […]
