Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, 2025 – ★★★★
I’d much rather have a music biopic focus on one specific time in an artist’s career. This one nailed it with a very thoughtful take on depression at a real crossroads in Springsteen’s life.

Curtains, 1983 – ★★
One of those tough to watch horror movies out of time: too much 70’s slog, not enough 80’s fun.
Vile, 2011 – ★
Mean, empty, and painfully misguided—shock without purpose from a filmmaker capable of far better. Whatever the excuse, the result is pure misery.
Aftermath, 1994 – ★
I’ve always known this one is out there. Now I have watched it. And that’s the end of that.
Night of Something Strange, 2016 – ★★★
Not for the faint of heart, but the outrageous gore and crude humor eventually win you over. Dumb, mean-spirited fun that knows exactly how far to push it.
Shelby Oaks, 2024 – ★★
Looked great but not a single new thing here we haven’t seen dozens of times before.
The Running Man, 2025 – ★★★
I liked it a lot but it really seemed to be missing any of the Edgar Wright flair we all love.
Keeper, 2025 – ★★★
I wasn’t a fan of The Monkey, but Perkins is back in top form here. Highly effective and quite creepy.
Deathstalker, 2025 – ★★★
I really enjoyed this one. You can tell everyone put their all into making the best version of this type of movie they could.
