Watched Film and TV
What I've been watching lately
- Dune: Part Two (2024) ★★★½
I'm sorry, this doesn't need to be this long. That said, it does a good job of making the meta narrative of Dune pretty clear, Paul the manipulative asshole is prob as clear as it can be in a modern film. Credit to Zendaya for acting the shit out of this.
- Carrie (2013) ★★½
Wow that ending really really sucked. Who thought it was a good idea to turn her into a horror film slayer?
- Madame Web (2024) ★½
I don't understand how this movie could prominently get so much location information wrong. They keep saying people are in places that don't connect, don't exist, or don't make sense. I know that's the least of the issues here, but as a New Yorker it really irritated me they they couldn't do the basic work of pulling up Google Maps. It's just so lazy.
- Miller's Girl (2024) ★½
Way to take a hackneyed concept, do nothing with it, shoot it mediocre, and not read the room that's not going to want this--even if it was good.
- Cry_Wolf (2005) ★★★
This was a pretty good idea that could have been executed much better.
- Night Swim (2024) ★★
Get out of the water someone dropped a ghost
- Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) ★★★★
This has to be the most comic book movie I've ever seen. It isn't just the colors (which are wild) or the overall plot (which could be better, but has a bit of comic book ridiculousness). The bad guy has a full volcano full of hench people wearing matching leather super-suits and jetpacks staffing his monster-infested evil lair as he plans to sink the world. This movie has a weak start, but I like it more than the last one! The whole thing is like it came out of an alternate universe where instead of getting Christopher Nolan inspiring Zach Snyder we let Joel Schumacher inspire the next generation of super hero films. More movies that are fun please.
Also... I think this might be the first time I've liked Patrick Wilson in a film.
- Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) ★★★
JHutch is really giving way more than was asked for here.
- The Marvels (2023) ★★★½
I dunno what the bad reviews were on about. I really liked Marvel's Star Trek: The Marvels. This movie was just plain fun, and wow everyone showed up for it, a set of really solid performances all around.
- Stonehearst Asylum (2014) ★★½
What a waste of good actors and concept. Also just a terrible ending.
- A Haunting in Venice (2023) ★★½
A very pretty but ultimately empty film.
- Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023) ★★½
The problem is it is boring, confusing, and a waste of acting talent.
- Santa Jaws (2018) ★★½
Look, this isn't amazing, but it is punching way above it's weight class.
- Brake (2012) ★★½
Would have been better as a Twilight Zone 30m episode.
- Steal (2002) ★★★
Bleeds the 00s
- Felon (2008) ★★★½
Hard to believe this was closely based on a real story where no actual change occurred in the prison after not did any guards get punished.
- They (2002) ★★½
- Wednesday (2022) ★★½
It is a bit of an odd choice to make Wednesday Addams the reluctant star of her own Scooby gang, but everything flows along fine. I think the last few episodes go entirely off the rails though. Netflix has a solid 'put it on in the background' show here. Woo?
- Lisa Frankenstein (2024) ★★★★
- The Sandman (2023)
- Lockwood & Co. (2023) ★★★½
This was really engaging with some great performances. A fun watch!
- Scream: The TV Series (2015) ★★★½
Not as good as the original but still was a fun energetic watch.
- Legion (2017)
- Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (2020) ★★★★★
This show is great. Smart and interesting science fiction, amazing soundtrack, gorgeous animation and remarkable performances. I had a ton of fun watching this show.
- Justified (2010)
- iZombie (2015)
- Fast and Furious Spy Racers (2019) ★★

I think in a detective story one is supposed to do detecting using like deductions, magnifying glasses, interviews, those sort of things. If your protagonist gets all his answers with his dick that's not a detective story, I don't know what it is.
- Dead Man's Hand (2023) ★★½
"I wish I had a bulletproof heart"
Me too end credits. There's a lot of people really trying in this, but it really does not come together. I'm giving extra credit here because I like the idea of using style, camerawork and editing to make it look like a spegetti western and I can tell they're trying for it, but they leaned a little too much on editing tools to do it and doesn't quite work.
- Sex Guaranteed (2017) ★★★
This movie is carried on the back of Dayne and Dorff, both of whom are just charming and great. It's too bad the protagonist is written terribly and played by a zero charisma actor and it punctures the whole thing. That said, I'm still pretty surprised that this film seems to have never hit theaters, I'm curious what the heck happened to this film.
- S.F.W. (1994) ★★★★
Cliff Spabbed so Caleb could West Elm.
Pure uncut 90s, with surprising number of familiar faces.
- Cold Creek Manor (2003) ★★½
Minus half a star for some of the lamest music cues I've ever heard.
- Alone in the Dark (2005) ★½
Wut
- Dracula 2000 (2000) ★★★
I'm unclear on if this is intentionally or accidentally a comedy.
- Blue Beetle (2023) ★★★½
Look it's pretty good. It could be better, they could have cleared some of the fight time to make more room for character work. The villain especially could have done with some more background, though I appreciate the meta of having Susan Sarandon play a lean-in lady CEO with a long history in the military-industrial complex. A lot of the good you'll get out of this movie is absolutely dependent on how much meta stuff you came in with. But the end, though perhaps not totally earned, really picked up a lot.
- Shadowboxer (2005) ★½
wtf
- FearDotCom (2002) ★★
Looks good, makes no sense
- Meg 2: The Trench (2023) ★★½
At about the two thirds mark I saw this movie try really hard to be Rush Hour for about 15 minutes and now I really want to see Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker vs the Giant Shark.
- Cecil B. Demented (2000) ★★★★
A lot of fun and honestly more relevant than ever. I'm just saying: the opening of this film shows all the theaters booked with Star Wars and Star Trek. Time is a circle.
Also, this film has 4 Oscar nominees, so time has won out on its side.
- The Italian Job (2003) ★★★★
Still great!
- Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) ★★★★★
How is this so good?!
- The Flash (2023) ★★★
It's just like... DC understands they can just make Elsewhere movies and that's cool right? Could have skipped the whole Flash parts and gone right to the good stuff.
And like, if you want to make a fancy CGI animated movie, just do that, could have just more animated films.
- Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) ★★★★
This was a perfectly well-working fun film. I enjoyed it. I could hear what people were saying and see what was going on. It looked good! I laughed! A fun swords and sorcery film! What a pleasant surprise!
- Evil Dead Rise (2023) ★★★½
I had fun!
- Renfield (2023) ★★★½
I dunno why they didn't release this in October? Like for Holloween? Or do real promotion? It's dumb, but fun!
- The Legend of Tarzan (2016) ★★
Why does this look so bad?
- Scream VI (2023) ★★★½
Look, this movie isn't bad. But why even bother to set it in NYC when they barely cared to make it look like NYC? You can totally just set your movie in Montreal if you want.
- The Christmas Tapes (2022) ★½
Paranormal Perry: "Yeah, I probably shouldn't have done that"
Me, after watching every other segment: Yeah, I feel that sentiment.
- Retro Puppet Master (1999) ★★★
Toulon, it turns out, was not so great at the actual performance of puppet shows.

Wow, this is much worse than I remembered.
- Le Bonheur (1965) ★★★★½
Wow this is dark!
- From Hell (2001) ★★★½
It's certainly making choices, but they aren't always good ones. Sometimes they're interesting ones.
- Blood Relatives (2022) ★★★★
More Jewish vampires please!
- Dark Water (2005) ★★★★
Elevated horror before anyone called it that or knew how to market it.
- Run Sweetheart Run (2020) ★★★★
I think this is fun! Occasionally heavy-handed, but clever, intentional, interesting directorial choices that work well with the solid acting. Fun to see some new feeling interesting ideas; and the story gestures at lore and cosmology within its universe that give you room to think and even create space for interesting follow-ups without forcing dumb cliffhangers. It doesn't need a sequel, but in the world of horror it's a better candidate then most. Good stuff!
- Romeo + Juliet (1996) ★★★
Look, Leo's acting hasn't changed between this movie and the present. So, I think, if they'd just replaced Claire Danes with a bear in this film Leo could have gotten his Oscar for this one and we could have all been saved a lot of drama. And really, just imagine how much crazier the editing would have been!
- Rockula (1990) ★★★
Absolutely ridiculous, in the best way.
- See How They Run (2022) ★★★½
Imagine Cabin in the Woods but for Agatha Christie mysteries
- Mass Hysteria (2019) ★★★
Cute little film!
- The Automat (2021) ★★★
Charming, but I would love to know more about the parts they glossed over, especially unionization efforts.
- The Lodge (2019) ★★½
This movie is like a himbo. Looks good, trying hard, but oh boy is it dumb. Yeah, it's a mimbo.
- Enola Holmes 2 (2022) ★★★½
Was not expecting Holmes Family Follies presents A Brief History of Unionization but ok I'll take it.
- Lightyear (2022) ★★★
I'm not really sure who this movie is supposed to be for, but I appreciated that someone found a way to get this much money spent on their previously unpublished Star Trek fanfic
- R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned (2022) ★★½
They keep trying to remake Men In Black and it keeps not working.
- The School for Good and Evil (2022) ★★★
Hard to believe it but apparently the key to changing the world for the better is to use your magic powers to force a bunch of birds to drop a load on the town bullies.
Also, please more unleashing Charlize Theron to eat all the scenery whenever possible.
- Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) ★★★½
This is the movie everyone was down on?! Not only is it a perfectly good and fun film, it's definetly better than maybe half the Marvel films that are already out there.
- The Last Winter (2006) ★★★
What if The Happening was good actually.
- Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007) ★★
I'm sorry, what's going on? Can you turn the lights up a bit? I can't see!
- Intruder (1989) ★★★★
This was fun! Great special effects and creative camera work. Not as bonkers as if Rami directed, but Scott Spiegel is having fun with the shots in a similar way. Better than most cheap modern horror.
- Seance (2021) ★★½
The way this ended I now want Suki Waterhouse to wander America, the woman with no name. Every week she encounters a new mystery and ghost and must solve the case, beat up the bad guy and amble out of town at the end, staying one step ahead of the law which wishes to unfairly imprison her while trying to clear her name and return to her beloved girlfriend.
- Haunt (2019) ★★½
Sort of mean, and not in a good way.
- Orphan: First Kill (2022) ★★
Look here's a clean handkerchief. Just wipe the vaseline off the camera lens please!
- Choose or Die (2022) ★★½
It's fine. It's not great, but it's not terrible. I liked the music.
- Unfriended: Dark Web (2018) ★★★
Smarter and better put together than its predecessor. But getting Skyped by a ghost was more fun.
- Glorious (2022) ★★★★
The HP Lovecraft bottle episode. Very inventive.
- The Day of the Beast (1995) ★★★½
I had fun with this one!
- The Gray Man (2022) ★★
Why do all the fight scenes suck? Isn't the whole point of this movie for the fight scenes? What am I missing here? Is this a satire or a joke or something?
- The Scary of Sixty-First (2021)
This movie was either 1 or 4 stars and I can't decide which. But it was definetly something.
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) ★★★★
Putting aside that this is the sort of deep cut victory lap for Marvel that would have been basically impossible even a mere 5 years ago; and putting aside the rewind on Wanda's character development; this was a fun movie! More fun then most of the Marvel films, more interesting to watch, and a genuinely decent use of Benedict Cumberbatch who I usually can't stand.
- Jurassic World Dominion (2022) ★★★
There's a good movie in here somewhere but at about an hour in the whole thing falls apart into random dino encounters like they're rolling them on a table and it never really pulls itself back into shape.
- Darkness (2002) ★½
Wut?
- The Resonator: Miskatonic U (2021) ★★½
Lol
- Miskatonic U (2021) ★★½
Lol
- Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) ★★½
Glad I didn't pay money to watch this mess.
- Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) ★★★★★
Wow, what a range for one film!
- Dracula Untold (2014) ★★½
Honestly, we should have gotten a second one if these with Charles Dance just tearing up the screen. Every minute he's in this all I want is more.
- Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996) ★★
I gotta respect that they blew out that budget at the end, crazy monster, special set, big boom.
- Hawkeye (2021) ★★★★
Man... are the 2020s the decade where Marvel actually leverages all this crazy multi-platform TV and Movies stuff to orchestrate some lengthy character arcs that really hit with a long windup followed by a hell of an emotional punch?
Also... did this TV show retroactively make the Black Widow film way better?
Unexpectedly great!
- American Psycho II: All American Girl (2002) ★★
Impressive that every music cue in this film is the exact opposite of what it should be.
- Scary Movie 5 (2013) ★½
Try as they might they can't make it as stupid as an actual Paranormal Activity film.
- The King's Man (2021) ★★
Shockingly bad decisions abound!
The Kingsmen films made a name for themselves in a period of increasingly grim self-serious spy films by turning the clock back with a pastiche of the genre that allowed them to return to the days of silly puns, crazy devices, ludicrous villains and world-ending plots. For better and worse it was a return to an older era of spy films more interested in having fun, both in the script and on-screen, then proving out their "realism".
So, it is baffling that the most recent film decided that it would follow up the fun with a grim self-serious historical wartime spy melodrama. All of the verve, fun, and cleverness has gone. We are left with a rather boring tale and little color on display. The result might have been interesting if it had satisfied itself with operating at the margins or leaned into an alternate history take, but instead the characters make futile play in a sandbox where almost everything is pre-determined while they mostly attempt to foil events the results of which we already know. There might have been some charm available from the cast but, with the exception of Rhys Ifans as Rasputin, everyone has apparently been strictly instructed to keep a stiff British upper lip, including--in a total waste of an actor--Ralph Fiennes who had apparently been instructed never to emote.
Finally, the script is worse of all. The more one reads Mark Millar's work the harder it is to avoid his weird conservatism that, at times, feels it can lean far right enough to make neighbors with the alt-right. It seems that the gravity of Millar's politics is so heavy that even this film cannot escape. By the end we've been instructed very seriously in the script's Big Meanings which, as far as I can tell, are:
Pacifism is bad.
Monarchy is Good (the best actually).
Communism is a plot by the global elites and fake.
Lenin was best friends with Hitler in their attempt to take over the world.
Long live the British Royalty and woe to any who might wish their independence.
All US Presidents are Bill Clinton actually and US democracy is a weak joke.The film is clearly one with a message and that message is apparently this truly stupefying collection of bs. When it comes to the end and the final victory is the main character firmly declaring his rejection of pacifism you can only come to the conclusion that this movie isn't just a mess... it's actual crap. And worse... apparently deeply invested in some sort of sketchy anti-democratic monarchy porn. And, since it has rejected the tone and style of its predecessors, it isn't even a bad movie that is fun to watch. It's just the worst.
- The Suicide Squad (2021) ★★★★
Look this movie made me tear up for The Ratcatcher 2 so, yeah, it's pretty great.
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) ★★½
Why any of this?
- The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1995) ★★★
The original Cabin in the Woods.
- Mortuary (2005) ★★★½
I'm amazed that no one has ever recommended this to me. Great acting, creepy decomposing urbanity, some very clever shots and Lovecraftian mold monsters. In many ways this reads ahead of its time, residing instead in the late aughts where the housing crash created dozens of decomposing suburbs like seen here, where populations could and did disappear for reasons unknown.
- The Columnist (2019) ★★★★
Very solid! Also really great performance from Katja Herbers.
- The Many Saints of Newark (2021) ★★½
What was the point of any of this and what was going on at any point and also why edit it like this? Why why why?
- Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) ★★★
Watching the new Ghostbusters movie was like watching an old band at a big event, they played all the hits, covered some recent hits by other people, then threw their long dead member on stage as a hologram to run some sample to combine with a new track.
- Don't Look Up (2021) ★★½
I dunno man... it just feels so self satisfied and yet in such bad taste.
- The Dead Don't Die (2019) ★★★
Is this a climate allegory?
- Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021) ★★½
Makes the old Resident Evil films look like Citizen Kane. How'd the CGI get worse?
- Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II (1987) ★★★
A lot of impressive homage to other horror, though not a ton of originality. Fun though!
- Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) ★★★½
Fun!
- Charm Circle (2021) ★★★★★
Quite an engrossing portrait of its subjects, a captivating watch.
- Bloody Hell (2020) ★★★½
Tight, well put together film. A lot better than I expected and totally badly represented by the marketing.
- Super Hot (2021) ★★★
I dunno, this was sort of adorable. I laughed. I enjoyed it. It whizzed by. Good music too. It looked like everyone was having fun.
- Midnight Mass (2021) ★★★★½
This was so excellent and so badly marketed. You should watch it.
- The Hitcher (2007) ★★½
It's not so much bad as a remake with so little to say that it manages to duplicate almost every beat of the original but muddle the plot and timing anyway in such a way as to remove any suspense.
- Old (2021) ★★★½
Probably the first film I've seen where it's very clearly filmed for audiences assuming they've seen the trailer and playing with their expectations.
- The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story (2018) ★★★★
Surprising and sweet!
- You Can't Kill Stephen King (2012) ★½
I was going to give this two stars for being filmed competently but then there was that godawful flashback to 20 minutes ago and even worse dream sequence so -.5 of a star for those disasters.
- False Positive (2021) ★★½
It's not so much that this movie is bad, it's mechanically fine. It is just slow and filled with empty spaces and unmotivated dream sequences. The movie seems on the cusp of having a better plot, or a more thought out point, but instead it uses the arty horror techniques of a typical A24 film to cover its own lack of a real point or theme. It's a shame because most of the parts are there, a slight tweak might make it clearer, or more entertaining, or more interesting. Instead it has ended up as tone lacking a solid organizing idea.
- Dead End (2003) ★★★½
"Everything's so fucked up on this goddammed road"
- Halloween Party (2019) ★★½
Filmed surprisingly competently for a film filled with what appears to be Snapchat-filter-generated monsters.
Next time, they should play for less drone shots, more spending on monsters.
- Species (1995) ★★★
A surprising number of big names in this.
- The Dead Zone (1983) ★★★½
Still a pretty great film with lasting relevance, even if the end comes on a little fast.
- Cadaver (2020) ★★★
Look, we all enjoyed Sleep No More.
- Fear Street: 1978 (2021) ★★★
It got better towards the end but this sort of suffered from a bad case of middle chapter.
- Bo Burnham: Inside (2021) ★★★★
The deeply discomforting question is not "is this or is this not authentic?" but instead the challenge "would you rather this was artificial or authentic?" and then "what does that mean about you?".
- The Conjuring (2013) ★★★★½
Wow, when this series isn't phoning it in it can really pull off some good horror.
- Benny Loves You (2019) ★★★
Plus a half star for some seriously fun toy on toy fights.
- Skeletons in the Closet (2018) ★
Having two characters sarcastically comment on how stupid and confusing your movie is doesn't make it a good movie.
- Waxwork II: Lost in Time (1992) ★★★
The first Waxwork was a satire, this one is a very very silly farce, but it's good fun with folks hamming it up to great effect, especially Bruce Campbell.
- Waxwork (1988) ★★★
Sort of a juvenile Cabin In The Woods, in a good way!
- The Lockdown Hauntings (2021) ★½
Dumb ending and also why did the person running around outside not wear a mask?
- Rattlesnake (2019) ★★½
Some good performances and direction in here, but just a terrible hackneyed bad-logic script.
- The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021) ★★★★
Awww, this was very cute. Also, surprisingly on the nose criticism of big tech snuck in here and there.
- Space Truckers (1996) ★★★
I don't understand how this exists and how I've never heard of it before because it's wild. I mean, cyborg Charles Dance with robot d*ck jokes weird. Just wtf??!? How did this film happen, can someone please explain?!?
- Sky Sharks (2020) ★★
I loled
- Fantastic Four (2015) ★
Not even bad in an interesting way
- Slaxx (2020) ★★★
Better than I expected, but I really didn't like the ending. It was still a fun watch though!
- Dirty Computer (2018) ★★★★
This is quite an impressive thesis statement from Monáe. Def an amazing thing to watch, especially in the larger context of the rest of her work.
- Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) ★★
Well.... it is better than the original version, but it still ain't good. I sat down and saw the whole thing though, this weird weird thing that somehow exists. Now I'm ready for an entirely new DC universe with someone else's hands on the wheel.
- Tentacles (2021) ★★½
No cellphones in this universe huh?
- Space Sweepers (2021) ★★★★½
What if Firefly, but better, with better effects, less stereotypes and no uncomfortable feeling that you're rooting for the confederacy?
- Witchboard (1986) ★★★
Very 80s
- Promising Young Woman (2020) ★★★★
Really great, interesting and engaging framing, color use and integration of music. Clever, if depressing, film that looks great and really pulled me along the whole time.
Some scenes were a little too much and I get the ending, I appreciate it conceptually, but it feels like it was from a decade or two ago.
- The Washingtonians (2007) ★★★½
Oh my god every ridiculous moment, stupid face, and completely silly sentence is just B movie gold.
- Dream Cruise (2007) ★★½
I found this one of the more incoherent Masters of Horror episodes, unclear back stories, some of the events are less mysterious more confusing, but some pretty great effects.
- Homecoming (2005) ★★★
Weirdly current.
- J.R. “Bob” Dobbs and The Church of the SubGenius (2019) ★★★★½
Really the perfect Christmas movie!
- Unknown Origins (2020) ★★★
Everything moves a little too fast, but other than that, it's pretty solid. The ending is a very weird choice though if you really think about it.
- Abnormal Attraction (2018) ★½
Wtf?!
At least it has a decent signature song.
- Run (2020) ★★★
I mean, it's fine, could have been a lot more, but it's fine.
- All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) ★★
Aggressively meh that thinks it's smarter than it is.
- The Lie (2018) ★★½
Meh. Watch the better Amazon Original version of this in Blow The Man Down.
- Deathgasm (2015) ★★★
Lol
- Speed Racer (2008) ★★★★
Give me more films where John Goodman kicks all the ass!
- Call Me Lucky (2015) ★★★★★
Wow
- The New Mutants (2020) ★★★
I liked it more than I thought I would!
- Bad Hair (2020) ★★★★
A lot more serious and clever than implied by its marketing, this one is a solid smart horror flick that's well put together and entirely engaging. I recommend it.
- The Craft: Legacy (2020) ★★★½
Not a perfect film but it hits right.
- Disappearance at Clifton Hill (2019) ★★★½
A little slow to start, but quite good.
- Teddy (2020) ★★★½
Maybe I missed some French context but I am unclear where that mob came from.
- They're Watching (2016) ★★★
This could've been a very solid horror comedy if it wasn't for the unnecessary total tone shift for like 25 minutes before the big silly ending. But hey you're not going to have a bad time with it.
- American Nightmares (2018) ★★★½
An ok half season of tales from the crypt, but a little more typical.
- Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020) ★★★
Better than the first one and almost as good as The Meg. A solid middle of the road shark film that is entertaining throughout.
- Host (2020) ★★★
Chronicle meets Unfriended. Which is both more and less of a compliment than it sounds.
- Selfie from Hell (2018) ★
Bad jump scares, nonsense plot, bad music. Why does this exist?
- Stake Land (2010) ★★★½
Cleanly made, creative in concept and very well written, very well acted. I really enjoyed this as a departure from some of the standard monster apocalypse fare. Also, some great movie music, not fancy, but solid.
- Late Phases (2014) ★★★★
I really liked this, so clever, so smartly put together. It has heart. I recommend it!
- Leprechaun Returns (2018) ★★★
I loled
- Brahms: The Boy II (2020) ★½
I don't know why I watched this and I definitely don't know why you should.
- Blow the Man Down (2019) ★★★½
A well-paced and well-put-together little film that is quite smartly executed for both directors' first feature film. What really pulled it over the top for me was some of the creativity in portraying the setting and a number of rather excellent performances, especially the two stars Sophie Lowe and Morgan Saylor; along with a typically great performance by Margo Martindale. If there was any major flaw it was that I would have liked more time with some of the other characters. Ended up enjoying it way more than I expected.
- Resolution (2012) ★★★½
Slogs a little in the middle, but otherwise solid.
- Vamps (2012) ★★★½
Look, it's no masterpiece, but everyone is having so much fun you gotta have fun with them and it's made with care and some nice attention to detail. It is not a hidden classic, but I really don't understand why it never got a wide release.
- The Rental (2020) ★★½
Eh
- Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016) ★★
Having now re-watched this after re-watching the entire series it is an especially baffling entry. One of the things that made the W. S. Anderson RE films stand out in the series was their clear, easy-to-understand, action and the bright, relatively high contrast, look, that made them pretty fun. This one is an Anderson film, but it is plagued by extremely low-contrast, difficult to see, shots; a lot of very dark scenes; and just incredibly, almost sickeningly, choppy editing only compounded by some overly shaky hand-held work. I really don't know what happened with this film to make it so gross to watch, but it is a shame that a series that seemed to have fun with its concepts ended up going out on such a grim, unoriginal, and unpleasant entry.
- Justice League Dark (2017) ★★★
Fine little story, though nothing like the team in the book.
- Splice (2009) ★★★
When I found out this was made by the same people who made Cube suddenly it all made sense.
- What Lies Beneath (2000) ★★★
We get it Zemeckis, you like Hitchcock.
- Bones (2001) ★★★½
A good looking film with some solid practical effects and hey... also Snoop, performing on key, along with a solid cast overall. And also Pam Grier! The main issue is the editing: some weird choices about how to organize the film and it dragging a bit.
- You Should Have Left (2020) ★★½
I'm sorry the age difference between Seyfried and Bacon is just so so distracting. It's pretty standard, too much so, and competently put together... But come on, they are like 30 years apart and that kid is like 8... Oy.
- The Room (2019) ★★★
It isn't so much an evil holodeck as it is morons using it, but it's quite well done on a technical level. It's a pretty movie that could have used a better plot.
- The Covenant (2006) ★
Hard to believe this didn't sink all of their careers, but good for a laugh! But definite points for the line "Harry Potter can kiss my ass"
- Z (2019) ★★★
Tracy is great in this, but the plot just degenerates towards the end and the cgi is... not great.
- After Midnight (2019) ★★★½
There were some points that put me off, but that third act was a hell of a thing.
- Scare Package (2019) ★★★
It was solid fun. I laughed!
- Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014) ★★★★
This was wonderfully charming and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
- Tamara (2005) ★½
I dunno, maybe just watch Jennifer's Body and The Craft instead and then if you still really need to see some gore, Final Destination.
- Good Boy (2020) ★★★½
Lol
- Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers (1988) ★½
So the twist is that there is no twist?
- Stage Fright (2014) ★★★
It's fine and it has Meat Loaf but it's no Anna and the Apocalypse.
- Pure (2019) ★★½
This is a better Into the Dark entry, though it gets weaker at the end. There is a lot if good in there to balance out the last minute blowout of bad. The highlights include some clever good-looking camera work and Jahkara Smith, who sells every scene 100% and deserves to be in a much better film than this one.
- Matinee (1993) ★★★★
Damn John Goodman is one charming mfer. This is a fun film, and he pushes it over the top
- DeVour (2005) ★★
Wut?!
- Never Surrender: A Galaxy Quest Documentary (2019) ★★★★
Just lovely.
- A.M.I. (2019) ★★½
Perfectly dumb, I laughed a bunch.
- Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) ★★★★
Give them all more movies and also more Birds of Prey movies!
I just had a ton of fun in this film!
- Knives Out (2019) ★★★★½
It's hard to remember the last time I had so much fun watching a film. Rare as it is, this one was just a lot of fun.
- Doom: Annihilation (2019) ★½
Neither interestingly bad nor particularly good. Meh.
- Margaret (2011) ★
Wow, impressively this film made me actively dislike everyone in it. What a slog.
- Ghostland (2018) ½
Yuck.
- Hail Satan? (2019) ★★★★★
Really enjoyed this film, excellently done. A great subject and technically well done with a number of really interesting interviews.
