This is one of those movies that for the entire run time I just kept thinking: “Not every short can be a feature!”

I can see what it is going for, but I think the writing is just not up to snuff.  Theo Rossi’s performance is solid and does ok with what he is given.

Pure popcorn magic.

Way too paint by numbers.

Pretty solid drama, but man was it anxiety inducing as a parent.  Can’t imagine the same situation trying to integrate an adoption.

Incredibly compelling.  The combination of sport and personal is perfect.

Awesome noir remake.  Amps up the sleaze and Lange and Nicholson are awesome.

A very dream-like quality to this.  Does a great job of making the viewer feel trapped with the main characters.

A solid coming of age story.  The narrow scope served it well.  Simple, small, and well told.

An absolutely stellar performance from the entire cast.  I know Pattinson and Gisondo will get a lot of love, but really the whole cast kills it.

The quintessential 80’s flick.  Between the stars, the music, the themes.  Harry Dean Stanton is great.

This is the first of the different Evil Dead interpretations that didn’t work for me.  I think I am ready for a change of pace with the next one.  Maybe more of an Evil Dead 2 slapstick vibe.

This one is a hoot from start to finish.  The humor does its job to defuse the tension.

Watching the 4K from Arrow.  Have not watched this in an age and it’s better then I remember.  Some cameos are a little distracting, but the performances are great.

This was ok.  I think it was a mistake to take such a silly premise and try and elevate it.  Would have been more effective as a campy creature feature.  Worth watching just to see how much a product ...

A completely bizarre but fun post-apocalyptic adventure.  The wise-cracking dog was great throughout and fun to see Don Johnson in an early role.

After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director for resurrection. But when she visits the original's star, a now-r...

A really fun rock doc.  So many great moments.  Russell Mulcahy watching his Rod Stewart video and cringing was super funny.

This is the quintessential 3-star movie.  Entertaining, well paced, but the ending was just a little too easy.  The score was excellent!

There is just so much to love here.  Style for days and the fantastical flourishes hit almost every time.  Super fun score as well.

Super grimy and screams giallo.

Not awful, but also not really worth recommending.  For the most part the performances are pretty flat and the digital effects were at times distracting.

A really solid biopic.  The first act is a tough watch, but the second and third offer a real sense of redemption.  The style of film has a really great 70s look.

The perfect level of absurdity and gonzo violence that I look for in a movie like this.  The bad guys are cartoonish and their motivations outlandish and gross.

Got the chance to catch the new 4K Final Cut or whatever.  I love how over the top this movie is.  And man that soundtrack is just perfect.

Still the best documentary about workers standing up for their rights.

I forgot how insane Emilio Estevez in this one.  Total maniac.

Pure summer popcorn fun.  Thrilling, funny, and a great kickoff to a new Spidey phase AND the power of Jean Grey.

The right level of stupid funny.

This is a very slow burn.  But I enjoyed the different perspective on WWII resistance in France and how bleak and desperate the setting and characters felt.

There is so much to like here, but it’s hard to give this one a full throated endorsement.  The ending bugged me.

Pretty good primer on AI and the dangers and benefits it brings with it.  The story of the Claude model finding out it was being replaced so decided to black mail the project lead to try and stay arou...

A very oddly assembled story.  Has some cool moments, but also some that are overly clever.  On the whole this just feels very underbaked.

I was very please to see the modern language was not distracting.  Pattinson was awesome as an absolute dirtbag.

The only thing holding this back from 5 stars is the Protagonist.  Each time I watch this I enjoy it more.

Really solid Bonnie and Clyde tail.  Nothing new, but the leads are great, camera work solid, and perfect soundtrack.

Really good.  Great performances, beautifully shot.  And very, very funny.

You know when an Italian sharksploitation movie name drops “watergate” they mean business.  The plot is almost impenetrable, but Treat Williams channels Burt Reynold’s as best he can and I would be ly...

Total dumb fun.  Glad I finally got around to watching it.
