The Trench Reynolds Report

  • Movie Recommendation: Sovereign

    Look at me, watching a movie that’s not animated or about superheroes. Growth and shit! So, let’s talk about Sovereign, a serious film with a serious subject, but one that still managed to hook me, despite the lack of capes or explosions. If you’re not familiar with the Sovereign Citizen movement, here’s the short version:…

  • 2024: The Year in Trench

    Yeah. That picture kind of sums up the whole year, doesn’t it? TV: It’s all animated again this year. Suicide Squad Isekai was pretty good for an anime. I know a lot of people complained about how the Joker looked, but it’s an anime. That was exactly how an anime Joker would look. The second…

  • 2023: The Year in Trench

    It was kind of a ‘meh’ year as far as pop culture went. That’s not to say there weren’t some gems to be found. TV: I’m not the biggest TV watcher anymore, but I did watch two series this year, both animated, of course. While I’m not the biggest anime fan, I did watch an anime series…

  • 2022: The Year in Trench

    This is what used to be the Trenchie Awards. I didn’t do one last year because of depression, and I thought no one cared. Well, someone cared, and they know who they are. TV: I actually didn’t watch any series regularly last year outside of wrestling. So, no winner for 2022. Movies: I only saw…

  • Review of X-Men First Class

    When I saw Green Lantern I thought that this was how superhero movies should be made. I now stand corrected. X-Men First Class is the epitome of superhero movies. The funny thing is I’m a Green Lantern fanboy and I was burned out on the X-Men in the early 90s. Having said that this was…

  • Review of Green Lantern

    Yesterday I caught Green Lantern at the theater and I liked it. Then again I’m biased as GL is one of my favorite superheroes. I felt like this is the movie that Superman Returns should have been as in an epic battle with a powerful evil foe and not what was basically a chick flick.…

  • Iran has a problem with ‘The Wrestler’

    Iran angered over films ‘The Wrestler’ and ‘300’: The ever tolerant country of Iran seems to have a problem with the critically acclaimed movie ‘The Wrestler’ starring Mickey Rourke. Iranians also criticized “The Wrestler” starring Mickey Rourke as a rundown professional wrestler who is preparing for a rematch with his old nemesis, “The Ayatollah.” During…
