Culture Shock at points is hard to follow. It’s starts out confusing, then becomes clear, then takes a surprising hard turn. For a while in the middle you will be very lost. I almost gave up on it during this period but when the reveal came I understood what was happening. Overall, I liked the idea by the end, just think it could have been executed differently. Continue reading Into the Dark: Culture Shock (Hulu)
If you saw Hereditary, think back to the last 30 minutes of the movie, then stretch that out over 2 hours. If you didn’t see Hereditary, Midsommar is a beautifully shot film that is 2 hours of dread within a peaceful (looking) setting. There are a lot of shocking/upsetting moments that will stick with you long after the movie ends. Again, it’s beautiful though! Continue reading Midsommar… is not for everyone
Someone Great has a lot of very deep, very real, and moving moments throughout. While the drug use was a bit much for me the chemistry between the ladies and the themes that are addressed in the movie made it a solid watch. Continue reading Someone Great Review: Romantic Dramedy?
Halfway through 2019 I’ve seen 40 movies (a bit behind the pace for 100 but the draft took over for a bit there) and I wanted to give some indication of where I’m at with my top movies of the year. I’ve watched everything from Blockbuster theatrical releases to VOD indies and my top 10 should reflect a range of different mediums. I don’t discriminate. Continue reading Bib’s Top 10 Movies of 2019 (So Far)
Counting down my 10 favorite movies of 2019 so far. Here are the top 5. Continue reading Bib’s Top 5 Movies of 2019 (So far)
Spider-Man:Far From Home does a great job of trying up the loose ends from Endgame while also advancing Peter’s story arc. We get a proper introduction to one of Spider-Man’s many arch nemeses (and my favorite) and are led directly into one of my favorite Spider-Man story lines. When he has to face the… well you’ll see. Continue reading Spider-Man: Far From Home review *Spoiler Free*
After some deliberation I’ve decided to go ahead and do a Free Agency Tracker and update it live. I’ll be using the template from my previous free agency piece but with some names moved around. I did not list every free agent but listed most of the ones that either matter or could end up on the Mavericks. Continue reading NBA Free Agency Tracker *Updated Live*
It’s that time of year again. Mavs fans are wondering what big name free agent the Mavs are going to lure in. This is the 9th year of this cycle and yet somehow Mavs fans remain optimistic. I love it, honestly, but I can’t join in the optimism. Every year there’s been a new reason that this year is different, and every year we have to accept that it isn’t. Continue reading Mavs Free Agency Outlook
I have to give myself credit for being an early believer in Quinndary. I went to watch Mississippi State to scout his brother and he jumped off the screen to me. I was shocked to not find him on any boards but that changed soon after. I love his game and feel like he is the type of guy that can “come out of nowhere” and be a contributor, maybe even a starter, for some team down the road. Continue reading NBA Draft Sleeper: Quinndary Weatherspoon
If you’ve listened to a single episode of the 3rd Round Picks podcast or follow me on twitter you’ve likely heard me talk about Carsen Edwards. It was likely no surprise that he ended up in my top 15 when the board came out. In short, I love Carsen Edwards. I love his game, I love his personality, and I believe he’s going to be around for a long time. Continue reading NBA Draft Sleeper Profile: Carsen Edwards
