A Quiet Place, 2018

I really enjoyed this movie. They managed to keep the silence gimmick going for most of the movie. The few times they did decide talk it made sense for the story.

Ready Player One, 2018

This review may contain spoilers. Weak story and characters but the non-stop pop culture barrage was mostly fun (The Shining, Buckaroo Banzai, Chucky). I’m kind of glad there were no Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm characters, we get enough of them everywhere else.

The Titan, 2018

I was on board with movie until it hit a point near the end and it got ridiculous. It became so overly dramatic that it became silly.

Mohawk, 2017

A little slow in the beginning but finds its stride by the middle. Geoghegan is 2 for 2 in my book. I can’t wait for his next movie.

Johnny Mnemonic, 1995

Peak dude-bro Keanu. This movie is so cheap looking and incoherent plot wise. Kind of interesting if you look at this movie as a first draft of The Matrix tho.

1922, 2017

A very slow and plodding retelling of The Tell-Tale Heart.

Annihilation, 2018

I really liked the body horror elements. I don’t feel like they explained what was going on clearly enough. I do give the movie props for going full-on hard sci-fi.

78/52, 2017

A fascinating look into the nitty-gritty details of how Hitchcock worked and the one scene that changed movies forever.

Mute, 2018

I really was ready to like this but I had to force myself to keep watching until the end.

Call Me by Your Name, 2017

A beautifully made movie. After this and The Shape of Water, Michael Stuhlbarg is becoming one of my new favorite actors.

Wind River, 2017

A well crafted mystery with good performances all around.
