Underworld is more of the same from Jared Savage, but not in the bad way that that phrase typically connotes. It's a necessary conclusion to a trilogy of books that remain novel for their locale and interesting due to the characters that populate them. It ...

This and Gangland could very well have been a single book. They both stand on their own, but Gangster’s Paradise is a continuation in style, structure, setting and the cast of characters it features. It sees new gangs, new methods, new players and new te...

An interesting and easy read on the drug and gang landscape in New Zealand. It reads as a series of vignettes with connections across several of the stories. The author is an investigative reporter in New Zealand covering this exact beat so he has plenty o...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/the-rip-2026 · 23 Jan 2026
The Rip is a good heist movie. I love a good heist movie. It's not exceptional, but it's entertaining as hell and, frankly, rips. You could not ask for a better cast for a bottled up, tense whodunnit of an action movie. You couldn't. It's absurd and that's...

Humanity is cooked and every once in a while a conspiracy proves to be true. Plemmons' Teddy is a worker bee for Stones' queen (who happens to be named Michelle). The workers are dying out and the dynamic is collapsing for reason the queen doesn't care to ...

I thought you took AP Common Sense? A perfect movie for which I have heaps of praise and a dearth of criticism. This is easily the movie of the year. It's heartfelt and fucking hilarious. It couldn't be more timely. There's an ambitious resistance group, a...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/caught-stealing-2025 · 12 Nov 2025
I build websites. First, I feel attacked. Second, holy hell . This is the best take on the someone falls ass backwards into a ramshackle caper since I first watched Snatch . I can't and won't explain it. You just have to fly through the windshield like Han...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/sovereign-2025 · 4 Nov 2025
You declare yourself a sovereign citizen like you imagined this was declared a sovereign nation. You reject a system you feel has failed you, you read, you cite legal code and you expect that rejection of what doesn't serve you to be accepted by those who ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/hierarchy-2025 · 28 Oct 2025
Hierarchy aspires to be Heat on a shoestring budget but, instead, ends up bogged down by uneven performances. It features an understated score, disembodied narration voiced by one of the leads and plenty of beautiful arial shots of the unnamed Texas city i...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/she-rides-shotgun-2025 · 14 Oct 2025
Remember, kids : how do you know a law enforcement officer is corrupt? That they're wearing a badge is a good indicator and, if they're not wearing a badge, that's an even better indicator. She Rides Shotgun is a surprisingly touching movie that focuses in...
