Pride Month Movies 2022 - Week 2
 This week, I will admit, I did get off track while catching up on "The Boys" season 3. Sure, the series does fit nicely into LGTBQ+ watching, but I did have to catch up on my movie watching. Because of this, my choices primarily were based on the short lengths times of the films/shows. This...

Here we are again, supporting, honoring, and celebrating the lives of our beloved LGBTQ community, family, friends and future friends. Like last year, many of the events around town will not be available this year because of covid issues. But this doesn't mean that I can not relish in more films ...

The Shit I watch 2021
 For those of you subscribed to this blog, it will come as no surprise to hear that I have not been applying too much time or effort to keeping the blogs reoccurring as frequently as the past. No excuse really, just that I have been focusing on other projects. But even with the added new pro...

The Gosling Filesby Liam LerouxPreliminary disclaimer: I like Ryan Gosling. I do. Any criticisms henceforth are not his fault. Blame the writers. Blame the agent for not sending him a better script. Blame the director for not making better choices. Blame the producers who wield money like a drunk...

Romantic films review for Valentine's Day
 Like most of our Holidays in the past 12 months, it has been highly suggested for couples to stay indoor and avoid being out in crowded areas. This of course will encourage people to continue with the covid world special of staying home and taking in a film or two. So for those looking for ...

Notable films of 2020 worth mentioning.
In the past years, at this time, I would be releasing my best and worst films of the year lists. This year, I am afraid I cannot put that list together. This year, 2020, there are way too many terrible films to compile a top ten list with. It is the year with the most 1 star rated films on Letter...

25 Christmas Movies in 25 Days... oh and Hallmark Christmas movies too. Final week 2020
 I admit that I did save a couple of films to the bitter end, knowing they had a very high success rate in entertaining me. Most years I wear myself out by the end, causing me to not as "Christmassy" as I could be. I don't care how much of a Christmas fanatic you may be, there is only a limi...

25 Christmas movies in 25 days, week 3... oh and Hallmark Christmas movies too.
 Ironically, with the lock down in place, I seem to have less time to watch the demanding amount of Christmas Movies I set myself each year. This past week, I worked over time in my day job, had multiple people swing by for socially distant drive by gift sharing, baked 13 tortierres for fami...

25 Christmas movies in 25 days, along side 25 Hallmark Christmas movies, week 2
 Before I get into my reviews this week, I feel like I need to address something. Every year, for the past 56 years, I have been reviewing Hallmark Christmas Movies from the point of view of a person that could care less that they are Hallmark Christmas Movies. And that part hasn’t change. I...

25 Christmas Films in 25 Days, plus 25 Hallmark Films too. Week 1
This year, being that I started early and watched the 4 Christmas movies that I wanted to see this year, I worried that I would have set myself for a lot of trash. However, I was relatively surprised by a couple of films this week that did reset my hope to find more great Christmas Movies. Of cou...

I think we can all agree that 2020 has us all changing out traditions and rearranging our priorities. Every year I wait until December to start watching Christmas films. During the days leading up to Christmas, I watch films I have never seen before, mainly because I like to give all films, filmm...

"Diego Maradona" (2019): Special to the Movie Jerks by Liam Leroux
Posted
   I was wrong about Diego Maradona. I once spent 17 hours (possibly hugely exaggerated, may have been 45 minutes) drunkenly arguing with an Argentinian man in a pub about Maradona’s legacy, marred, I insisted, by the legendary Hand of God goal during the 1986 World Cup quarter fin...

Romantic Movie Confusion  by Liam Leroux
 “Did you cry?” It’s the first question my assignment editor (wife) asked me after I finished Everything, Everything. It’s not an unreasonable question. I cry all the time, I’m an emotional basket case. On the recent Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion show on HBO I was in absolute bits over the...

Three Wrong Characters  by Liam Leroux
When filled with the terrible dread of anticipation of torture I turn to comfort. I spent months avoiding the musicals assignment. The spectre always loomed and I remained stubbornly unwilling to confront it. Romance movies being the next assignment, I must admit I am scared. I do not hate Romanc...
