The 'Looper' Paradox: Why Cid STILL Becomes the Rainmaker!
Writer and director Rian Johnson has recently PISSED OFF a lot of Star Wars fans over his film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I'll write about these people later, but today, I'm gonna be talking about another one of Johnson's films, which is better than The Last Jedi, and one of my new favorite movies: Looper.

Common Man's View: 'The Cloverfield Paradox'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to break through my own opinions. These are really becoming less like reviews though and more like rants about things within movies in general. With that said, J.J Abrams is a genius and the Cloverfield series of movies is something I hope never comes to an end...and after this movie, I suspect it won't.

Common Man's View: 'Bright'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to breakthrough my own opinions. These are really becoming less like reviews though, and more like rants about things within movies in general. But hey, Will Smith, amiright?

Review of 'Alistair1918'
Alistair1918 from 2016 is charming, special, altogether superb little feature movie (on Amazon Prime) with a frame on time travel you don't find very often if at all. The Alistair in the title is a British soldier on the Western front in 1918, who gets blown into a wormhole and ends up in present-day Los Angeles. There's no action at all in France. It's all in LA, where Alistair is befriended by a wannabe documentary film maker — Poppy (played by director Annie K. McVey) — who works with her estranged and skeptical husband, a dedicated young cameraman, and eventually a French scientist (Sophie, played by Amy Motta who appeared on Mad Men) who understands time travel, in an effort to get Alistair back to 1918 and his beloved wife.

Common Man's View 'iBoy'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to breakthrough my own opinions. With that being said, I find myself quite in awe of the minds behind the great works of science fiction. Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Orson Scott Card, George Lucas, The Wachowskis—what, did you think it was all old masterpieces? Every fantasy I have seems to revolve around some great scientific breakthrough-typically time travel or teleportation. iBoy though—well that would suit me just as well.

Review of 'Chronological Order'
Chronological Order, the 2010 feature-length movie I recently saw on Amazon Prime, certainly deserves an award, which would be for the most unlikely time-travel device I've ever come across on page or screen. That would be a door that our protagonist, a guy by the name of Guy, finds floating in the ocean. He and we soon learn that when he stands it up and walks through it, he walks a little or longer into the past.
