Symbiotic Reviews

Hello, my name is Jericho, and I’m simply a guy who is obsessed with films and music. I’m not a critic in the traditional sense, meaning I have absolutely no credentials in this area beyond my passion for writing and love of the arts. I have a B.A. in English, and have written various short stories as well as a novella that I will hopefully be putting out soon. I started this blog/site simply as an outlet for my opinions, as well as to hopefully create an online community of fellow music and movie obsessives. The standard rating system (1 out of 4 stars for movies, 1 out of 10 for music), may seem somewhat irrelevant since the reviews are essentially opinion-based, but it’s just my way of expressing how I feel about the subject at the current time. I welcome comments, opinions, disagreements, really anything that gets people talking about this stuff. Feel free to message me with bands or movies to check out, or even suggestions about what I should get into. Thanks and enjoy!

GOD BLESS AMERICA
2.5 stars out of 4
God Bless America has a lot of things to say about reality TV, blowhard politicians, right-wing extremism, and the desensitizing role of violence. In fact, writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait, whose last effort was the underrated 2009 dark comedy World’s Greatest Dad, has so many things to say that he ends up making what amounts to a stand-up comedy routine coupled with a long-winded op-ed piece. Had this been a college term paper, it would no doubt read as a shrewd and entertaining take on the current state of pop culture, but Goldthwait has forgotten to actually craft a cohesive movie to support his opinions. One can agree with just about every point he raises while still admitting that as a film, God Bless America is a rather flimsy excuse for one angry diatribe.
