Sometimes when you re-evaluate a childhood favorite, you find that the nostalgia is not enough to compensate for the film itself.

There’s not much to say really. I watched this film as a kid and remember thinking it made me feel gross. So I never watched it again. Until now. And now, at the ripe age of 22, I feel exactly the same as I did when I was a child. The Master of Disguise is the most misguided excuse for a movie I’ve ever seen. It’s so unfortunate that this movie squ…

Never in my life have I seen more abs, sweat, and blood. 300 belongs in a CrossFit museum. Better yet a CrossFit cathedral where they can pay homage to their patron saint Leonidas. By all rights, 300 should be laughably horrible. But it’s not. In fact, it has quite a lot of admirable qualities beyond its chiseled exterior. Zack Snyder is an ambitio…
