A winner and a not winner. The Long Walk The Long Walk messed me up. Not because it’s hitting some hot-button political topic of the moment, but because it doesn’t need to. It’s always been relevant. Desperation makes people do really fucked up shit. Like voluntarily signing up for a dystopian death march where you getContinue reading “The Long Walk and Spinal Tap 2 Reviews”

The Conjuring 4, Caught Stealing, & Splitsville – 2025 Movie Reviews
One unexpected hero this week. The Conjuring 4: Last Rites Objectively, The Conjuring 4 is not the worst film of the year, but I don’t give a shit. I absolutely despise it. I loathe every creatively bankrupt, flatly shot frame of this offensively overlong, self-important-to-the-point-of-delusional, and completely, 100% not scary horror franchise sequel. Apparently, it’sContinue reading “The Conjuring 4, Caught Stealing, & Splitsville – 2025 Movie Reviews”
Top 10 Movies of the Year (so far)
As we somersault into the bloated chaos of Oscar Season, that four-month movie dump from September to December with stragglers in January and February if you’re not in NY or LA (sorry, I’m not), here’s my Top 10 films of the year so far. I’ve seen 42 new releases, some really good, some absolute dogContinue reading “Top 10 Movies of the Year (so far)”
2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard
Nothing good this week. M3GAN 2.0 Full disclosure: I love M3GAN. Not the movie, the character. I love her stupid little dances. I love her bratty little voice, her psychotic programming, the way she inflects certain words, etc. Besides Chucky and Tiffany, she’s probably the most entertaining murderous doll character out there. So it deeplyContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: M3GAN 2.0 and The Women in the Yard”
2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck
A good one and a good-ish one in a very disappointing year so far for cinema. 28 Years Later Last weekend I was up north at my parents’ cabin, halfway through a bottle of something, standing on their patio overlooking a gorgeous serene lake with a couple industry-adjacent buddies (read: an agency creative and aContinue reading “2025 Movie Reviews: 28 Years Later & The Life of Chuck”
2024 Movie Reviews: Heretic / Juror #2 / It’s What’s Inside / Blink Twice / My Old Ass / Red Rooms
One clear winner this week, though two others are definitely worth your time. Heretic Heretic is the prototypical 2024 horror movie – a very straightforward psychological thriller with a simple premise that doesn’t overreach until the overly ambitious and inevitably unsatisfying conclusion. It doesn’t break new ground but it doesn’t fuck up the basics either.Continue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: Heretic / Juror #2 / It’s What’s Inside / Blink Twice / My Old Ass / Red Rooms”
2024 Movie Reviews: The Substance / Uglies / His Three Daughters
The worst film of the year and two of the best. The Substance “Artsy trash” is the best way I’ve heard The Substance described, the new outrageous, hilarious, but not totally original body horror satirical comedy by Revenge writer/director Coralie Fargeat. Surprisingly, it won the Best Screenplay award at this year’s prestigious Cannes Film FestivalContinue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: The Substance / Uglies / His Three Daughters”
FRIDAY THE 13th MOVIES: RANKED & REVIEWED
One of my favorite horror franchises growing up, second to only A Nightmare on Elm Street, the Friday the 13th movies are mostly awful but usually make for one hell of a fun movie night! Which one are you watching tonight? 12. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) Not only the worst entryContinue reading “FRIDAY THE 13th MOVIES: RANKED & REVIEWED”
2024 Movie & TV Reviews: Longlegs / The Boys / Deadly DILF / Spermworld
Serial killers, superheroes, sperm donors, and DILFs. Longlegs The most impressive thing I’ve seen all year was the marketing campaign for Longlegs. From the way the trailers were edited to merely tease the narrative to inventive marketing stunts like having The Seattle Times post a fake encrypted letter from Longlegs, the fictional serial killer withinContinue reading “2024 Movie & TV Reviews: Longlegs / The Boys / Deadly DILF / Spermworld”
