An unlikely champion this week. The Killer I can’t remember the last time I saw something as slight and forgettable as David Fincher‘s The Killer, a technically dazzling but ultimately hollow revenge drama about a sociopathic nutbag (a very good Michael Fassbender) seeking revenge on the clients and colleagues who tried to do him in. We’ve seen soContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: The Killer / The Holdovers / Frasier / Priscilla / No Hard Feelings”

2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Killers of the Flower Moon / The Fall of the House of Usher / Goosebumps / Chucky / Anatomy of a Fall & More
Even mix of excellent and mediocre stuff this week. Killers of the Flower Moon With Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese has made his best film since 1990’s Goodfellas – a powerfully sad, frighteningly relevant, and nearly forgotten history lesson about the lengths some men will go to for extra money. Based on the 2017 non-fiction book, Killers of theContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Killers of the Flower Moon / The Fall of the House of Usher / Goosebumps / Chucky / Anatomy of a Fall & More”

2023 Movie Reviews: The Exorcist: Believer / Reptile / No One Will Save You / V/H/S/85
Nothing but crap this week. The Exorcist: Believer I wanna hop on those tubular bells and just go, “Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. / Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. / Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.” Oh, biscuits in a clam shell! The bumble bees ain’t lyin’, this buzz is 100% true – The Exorcist: Believer is aContinue reading “2023 Movie Reviews: The Exorcist: Believer / Reptile / No One Will Save You / V/H/S/85”
2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Reservation Dogs / Only Murders in the Building / Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
The good, the bad, and the merely ok. Reservation Dogs Season 3 One of the best and most underrated shows on television just came to a close on Hulu/FX. Yes, even better than The Bear, that delightful tragicomedy about brooding chefs sulking over stockpots. Reservation Dogs follows the lives of members of an Oklahoma NativeContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Reservation Dogs / Only Murders in the Building / Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”
The House that Scream Built: Part 1 (1997-1998)
A 3-part exploration into the dozens of Scream rip-offs to hit the movie market from 1997-2001. I remember January ’97 ever so slightly. I was seven years old and divided my time between school, theater, dance, and gymnastics. School was mandatory, but dance, especially theater, was where my soul came alive. A neighbor recommended IContinue reading “The House that Scream Built: Part 1 (1997-1998)”
CRONENBERG RANKED

There’s more to Cronie than just gross-out monsters though, he’s one of the most cerebralContinue reading “CRONENBERG RANKED”
2023 Movie & TV Reviews: Bottoms / How to With John Wilson / Telemarketers / Cobweb
Good week for all, especially documentaries. Bottoms One of my favorite discoveries during the pandemic, other than sometimes you can be so sad you simply cannot cry, was Emma Seligman’s debut feature, Shiva Baby. A tight, 77-minute comedic psychological thriller/horror movie about social anxiety I stumbled upon on HBOMax (before it was Max) one evening. ItContinue reading “2023 Movie & TV Reviews: Bottoms / How to With John Wilson / Telemarketers / Cobweb”
2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Heartstopper / Cade: The Tortured Crossing / The Pope’s Exorcist
Neil Breen, two gay boys and an exorcist walk into a bar… Heartstopper (Season 2) Definitive proof that shows aimed at teens don’t have to be super ham-fisted and without subtlety, no matter how grand the intentions. After a near perfect debut season, the hit Netflix show about a friend group of gay/queer spectrum teensContinue reading “2023 TV & Movie Reviews: Heartstopper / Cade: The Tortured Crossing / The Pope’s Exorcist”
Vanderpump Rules – Season 9 and 10 Review (#SCANDOVAL DISCUSSED)
Are these the best days of our lives? I’ve been pondering that for a while. Is there a specific window of time in our lives that we all know is definitively “the best”? Do we just live that “best life” until it expires approximately 3-5 years later? Or does life just get shittier and shittier,Continue reading “Vanderpump Rules – Season 9 and 10 Review (#SCANDOVAL DISCUSSED)”
