The Mortal Kombat tournament is as rigged as the FIFA World Cup — or so I gather from Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997). #MortalKombat #Annihilation #MovieReview #Fantasy #RoughDraft pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/07/10/m...

Born American (1986) purports to show that the CIA and the KGB were all the same. So, how come there was a Cold War in the first place? #BornAmerican #Action #Thriller #MovieReview #RoughDraft pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/07/07/b...

Brothers of the Wind (2016) treats fiction like a nature special. Its urge to educate and contextualize suffocates the story. #BrothersoftheWind #MovieReview #Family #Drama #Nature #FilmCriticism pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/07/06/b...

Diablo (2015) is no High Plains Drifter. Scott Eastwood is no Clint. The elder Eastwood’s film is vicious, ambitious, and beautiful. Diablo is lazy. #Diablo #Western #MovieReview #PsychologicalThriller #FilmCriticism pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/07/05/d...

From Leadbelly to Stardust and A Complete Unknown, these films turn collaboration, labor, and historical context into stories of solitary genius. #FilmCriticism #FilmAnalysis #MovieReview #BobDylan #DavidBowie #Leadbelly #ACompleteUnknown #Stardust pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/t...

James Mangold's A Complete Unknown sacrifices psychological depth, historical complexity, and artistic inquiry in favor of hagiography. #ACompleteUnknown #BobDylan #FilmCriticism #MovieReview #Biopic #JamesMangold #TimotheeChalamet pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/17/a...

Stardust (2020) strips David Bowie of his art, reducing his chameleonic genius to a flat road-movie caricature. #DavidBowie #Stardust #MovieReview #FilmCritique #Biopic #Drama #Cinema pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/17/t...

Gordon Parks’s Leadbelly (1976) attempts to balance the raw preservation of folk history with the cinematic myth-making of the 1970s but trades psychological realism for romanticized legend. #Leadbelly #FilmCritique #Blaxploitation #Biopic #MovieReview pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/16/t...

From Buddy Holly to Biggie Smalls to Hank Williams, these films simplify lives, erase collaborators, and reshape history into myths of genius, martyrdom, and tragedy. #Biopic #Music #Drama #MovieReview #Cinema #FilmAnalysis pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/t...

From Gary Busey’s age-mismatched casting to invented radio stunts, The Buddy Holly Story trades accuracy for dramatic convenience. #BuddyHolly #TheBuddyHollyStory #Music #RockAndRoll #Biopic #FilmAnalysis #MovieReview #FilmCriticism #Cinema pablohoneyfish.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/c...
