Battle of the Message Movies: Turning Red vs. Teen Wolf

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

It’s funny. When I first heard about Turning Red a few weeks ago, I thought it was going to be one of Pixar’s lesser films. Like Brave or Soul. Little did I know that it would turn out to be … Continue reading →

Let’s Explore the Symmetry of Escape from New York

Posted on April 5, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

This is getting scary. In the Tron Cinematic Chiasmus, I noted that it wasn’t my idea to analyze that movie. But once I did, I couldn’t deny it worked perfectly as a chiasmus. I have to give all the credit … Continue reading →

Is My Good Opinion, Once Lost, Lost Forever?

Posted on March 29, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

Something has been on my mind this week concerning food. Perhaps it’s a luxury to even have this problem, but I still wonder if it’s either a virtue or a vice. And I think, even though it’s about food, it … Continue reading →

Get with the Program! Tron Is a Symmetrical Film

Posted on March 22, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

Cinematic Chiasmus is no longer my sole domain. I’ve had help from my wonderful readers to complete my Spider-Man chiasmus and to see the chiasmus of Alien and Alien3. In those cases, I had abandoned my Spider-Man chiasmus, and I … Continue reading →

Do Rotten Sequels Spoil Great Previous Films?

Posted on March 15, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

I recently rewatched 2006’s Casino Royale. I hadn’t seen it in many years, and I really liked returning to it. It feels so simple and quaint in some ways. And yet something was nagging at my mind the whole time … Continue reading →

Who Was The Road to El Dorado Made for?

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

I remember hearing about The Road to El Dorado in 2000 during my senior year of high school. It looked too juvenile for me. However, I did hear that it had some adult stuff in it, like characters getting naked … Continue reading →

Movie Matchups: Watchmen vs. 2010: The Year We Make Contact

Posted on March 1, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

Watchmen and 2010: The Year We Make Contact have quite a bit in common. I didn’t realize that until my eldest brother pointed out some of the connections to me. And then it dawned on me. They both tell the … Continue reading →

Bedtime Story: The Magic Ring

Posted on February 22, 2022 by Robert Lockard, the Deja Reviewer

The first short story I shared was a little on the dark side. That one was entitled “The Strange Fruit.” Not all of them will be like that, though. This one has a much more upbeat tone and ending. I … Continue reading →
