Threads, 1984

A devastating look at the real ramifications of a nuclear attack. It was hard to watch but I think everyone should watch it once.

Thoroughbreds, 2017

A finely crafted story with two amazing lead performances. Every new plot detail had me trying to figure out where this movie was going.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, 2016

The Lonely Island finally found a perfect fit for their style of comedy. The musical biopic is ripe for mockery. I laughed quite a lot during this movie.

The Commodore Story, 2018

Rather dull and boring telling of a pretty interesting chapter of history. I had a VIC20, C64, and Amiga500 back in the 1980s and I wish this film spent more time with software developers instead of spending most of the 2+ hour runtime focusing on the business side of things.

Extinction, 2018

Clever little sci-fi movie made on a modest budget. All of those other huge, bloated and boring action movies could learn a thing or two from movies like this one.

Ruin Me, 2017

I spent most of the movie disappointed and wondering how such a good idea could have gone so terribly wrong. The only really interesting sequence was the trap on the beach.

Unfriended: Dark Web, 2018

The gimmick still totally worked for me, I just wish the movie just had a few more scares in it. I thought it was pretty tame.

Pieces, 1982

One weird slasher movie. The funniest part is that you can tell this is a foreign director’s idea of what American life is like. I did forget about that great ending. It’s so bizarre.

The Thing, 1982

Finally got to see one of my all time favorites in a packed theater of like-minded fans. It was a blast.

Ant-Man and the Wasp, 2018

A light and fun sequel. Rudd and Lilly have great chemistry together. The ever changing scale of things was used for some thrilling action scenes and good laughs. I only felt the entire Ghost plot line could have been removed if she just asked for help in the first place....

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, 2018

I liked the first third on the island. I was not into the middle section back at the mansion. I really enjoyed the shear stupidity of the last third quite a bit. I hope they lean hard into the cloning and dinosaurs running amok in the third movie. I want...

Imitation Girl, 2017

A wonderfully weird little movie that owes much to the similar Under The Skin. Lauren Ashley Carter was very good in her dual roles.

Tau, 2018

I really was hoping this was going to be a fun update of Demon Seed. I couldn’t have been more wrong or bored.
