Motion Pixels is a series of haphazard articles hoping to link the passions of gaming and films. Through recommendations, general chicanery, and, sometimes!, analysis our hope is to set you, dear reader, on a path of exploration you might n...
I'm not really someone that likes to drink. I may have the odd drink occasionally, but every kind of alcohol I've tried has tasted putrid to me. I can't fathom why people would willingly drink something that tastes like rat piss, but that's...

Disclaimer: This is going to be a long, long rant. My soapbox has been checked for its sturdiness and I am perched upon it and ready to go. It is an absolute joke that Green Book won Best Picture last night and the Academy should...

This is normally the part of the Valentine's Day listicle where we explain our deep-seated hatred for this commercialized holiday made up to make us all feel depressed and whatever. But you've read that a million times before anyway, and th...
I love to hate the Oscars, but I also hate that I love them. For the past several years I've had a tradition where I try to see as many Oscar Best Picture nominees as I can. I want to see which movies were considered the best of their...

Luca Guadagnino’s homage to Suspiria was one of the most divisive films of 2018. I mentioned in my review a few months ago that I wasn’t sure if I even liked the new Suspiria, but it was a movie that I couldn’t just d...
