  • Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2022)

    With a chilly and surprisingly rainy fall and winter here on the west coast, I had so much time to watch movies recently that I had to remind myself to slow down. On these lists I only cover recent releases, even though I do watch older movies all the time. While I could review those…

  • Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2022)

    I’ve never tried to come up with any sort of “theme” for the movies I review in these posts, I just watch whatever interests me and try my best to summarize my thoughts. But this time around — especially compared to my previous movie review round-up — all of these are relatively small-ish budget films.…

  • Six most outrageous moments in the 2022 On Cinema Oscar Special

    Airing live in its second year on HEI Network, the 9th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special was pared down in a number of ways… most notably they had to film it outside, according to Tim, because Joe Estevez had mismanaged Tim’s HEI Ranch development and no sound stage had been built. Things only go downhill…

  • Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2021)

    It seems like it had been been ages since I set foot inside any type of live venue, but since my last movie review roundup I have started seeing movies in theaters again. Specifically at my local Alamo Drafthouse, which follows San Francisco’s strict vaccination requirements. I saw about half of these at that theater…

  • Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2021)

    Once again it’s movie time! Similar to my last movie review roundup I watched all of these movies from home, although now that most of us are vaccinated a few theaters have reopened. Personally I can’t see myself going back to theaters until things are fully back to normal — no temperature screenings, masks that…

  • Eight most outrageous moments during the 2021 On Cinema Oscar Special

    “It’s been” a little over a year after the last On Cinema Oscar Special, and many changes have happened. Aside from the pandemic, On Cinema was dropped along with the entire streaming portion of Adult Swim’s lineup. Thankfully this wasn’t the end of On Cinema; fans (self included) chipped in financially for the next season…

  • Recent movie review round-up (second half of 2020)

    In the last installment of my movie review roundups I expressed some concern about new movies in 2020 due to the pandemic. Thankfully I was wrong: while many big budget movies were delayed, 2020 turned out to be a great year for new indie and medium budget movies debuting on streaming services. Surprisingly three movies…

  • Recent movie review round-up (first half of 2020)

    It certainly hasn’t been a great year for movies with the global pandemic so a handful of these are from last year. What can I say, it’s been a good year for streaming and catching up on good movies we missed in theaters. The order here is disjointed just like last time. Whatever, roll with…

  • Six most outrageous moments during the 2020 On Cinema Oscar Special

    This year’s On Cinema Oscar Special was a little bit of a surprise. Online speculation led many to believe it wouldn’t happen as Tim Heidecker was on the East Coast leg of the Tim and Eric Mandatory Attendance Tour. Tim actually flew back to LA for one night just to do the Oscar Special this…
