Cinematic Chronicles

Nothing quite says "welcome to the blog" like a review of some run-of-the-mill slasher film. Alexa, play "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads. Written by Andrew Kevin Walker and directed by Gavin Polone, Psycho Killer tells the story of a police officer (portrayed by Georgina Campbell) who tracks down a serial killer after witnessing her husband's violent murder while on duty. Richard Joshua Reeves (The Slasher) is a Satanist who slaughters a number of people in a variety of graphic ways throughout the film, including a pharmacist to fuel his drug addiction, and a priest whose blood he drinks quite vigorously. Charming. Reeves is able to maneuver in anonymity as the public believes that he died many years prior, having reportedly been shot by a prison guard he attacked while on death row (for -- you guessed it -- mass murder). His ultimate mission this time around? To destroy a nuclear power plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in a suicide mission that is said to ...

I've been looking for ways to revamp my blog for quite a while now, and then it hit me... I am a Regal Unlimited member. No, this isn't a shameless plug for Regal Theatres. However, I have already seen 17 films in the cinema in 2026. Here is that list: Cold Storage Crime 101 Dracula GOAT Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die How To Make A Killing Iron Lung Marty Supreme Mercy Primate Send Help Solo Mio Song Sung Blue The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants This Is Not A Test Whistle Wuthering Heights Why not reflect and share my opinions on each of these experiences? Enter Cinematic Chronicles . With each new movie I catch, I will provide a brief synopsis, some thoughts on the film, and a ranking on a scale from 1 to 10. I'm not a movie critic by any means, but if you were half as bored as I was during Iron Lung , this blog might be for you. Feel free to fill up my comment section like Jett Fillmore fills up the hoop during the Roarball postseason. Happy watching!

When the San Jose Sharks drafted teenage phenom Macklin Celebrini with the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, the hockey world felt certain it was only a matter of time before Team Teal became relevant again -- however, their 2025-2026 campaign has made it clear that this team is, indeed, ahead of schedule. Following a thrilling comeback victory in Pittsburgh last Saturday, I thought it might be fun to revisit some of the Sharks' most memorable victories of the season thus far. Let the countdown begin :) 10. November 8 vs. Florida (W 3-1) This one almost feels like an honorable mention. There's an argument to be made for replacing it with San Jose's 6-1 victory in Seattle just three days prior. Perhaps the team simply ran out of gas after playing three games in four nights. In many ways, it felt as though the Sharks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, suddenly forgot how to play hockey, and went into some kind of prevent defense to fend off the two-time defending ...

On June 11, 2021, Maroon 5 delighted fans across the globe with the release of their seventh studio album,  Jordi -- a tribute to the band's late manager Jordan Feldstein, who passed away in 2017. While the band's fanbase has been generally receptive of their latest effort, Maroon 5 critics provide mixed reviews at best, scrutinizing the group once again for producing "depthless" pop music, and describing the album as "lackluster" and "forgettable". Nonetheless,  Jordi would quickly garner international success on brand name alone, as Maroon 5 remains one of the most well-known ensembles in the world. With two months now firmly in the rearview, here's a look at the Spotify play count of all 14 tracks on  Jordi 's deluxe edition, arranged by popularity. 1. Memories (1,235,564,787 streams) 2. Beautiful Mistakes (244,091,342 streams) 3. Nobody's Love (132,862,809 streams) 4. Lifestyle (95,293,396 streams) 5. Lost (31,675,612 streams) 6. E...

While the San Jose Sharks haven't yet had the luxury of playing at SAP Center this season (now slated to open their campaign with 12 consecutive road games), an abbreviated 56-game schedule provides "Team Teal" with little room for error. The Sharks entered Friday's contest against their Southern California rivals with an unflattering record of 3-5-0 on the young season.  All things considered, their fortunes could have been much worse. San Jose's first two victories of 2021 came by way of the shootout, while their third was secured courtesy of a brilliant individual effort from six-time NHL All Star Brent Burns. Meanwhile, the Sharks' losing efforts have typically been less tightly contested, including a dominant two-game stint from the Colorado Avalanche -- outscoring San Jose by seven goals. Thus, adopting a simple mindset seemed necessary on Friday: find a way to emerge from the first of back-to-back games in Anaheim with two points. Although the Sharks ex...

While professional sports are unpredictable by nature, millions of viewers across the globe can't help but weigh in with their unofficial analyses of star players, championship caliber teams, and other miscellaneous coverage. However, even the most astute sports analyst could not have projected a more perfectly scripted Super Bowl LV matchup for February 7, 2021. The headlines circling a winner-take-all contest between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs are nothing short of iconic. 43-year-old Tom Brady (presumably the greatest quarterback in NFL history) against 25-year-old Patrick Mahomes (indisputably the greatest quarterback of the new generation).  Mahomes was merely in Kindergarten when Brady clinched his first Lombardi Trophy in February 2002. Will the Chiefs' superstar usher in a new era by upending Brady to claim his second consecutive title? Or will the former Patriot singlehandedly surpass all 32 NFL franchises by snagging his seventh trophy in his 10th ...
