Subservience, 2024 – ★★★

This film ended up being a lot more fun than I expected, surpassing its initial premise. It strikes the right balance between entertainment and absurdity, making for an unexpectedly enjoyable watch.

The Second Act, 2024 – ★★★

Dupieux delivers another mind-bending film, but the story doesn’t quite match the brilliance of the technically impressive tracking shots. While visually captivating, the narrative feels lacking in comparison.

Blink Twice, 2024 – ★★★

The performances were solid, but the film took its time getting to the main point, making it feel a bit drawn out. A quicker pace could have made the story more engaging overall.

An Unquiet Grave, 2020 – ★

This film is yet another pandemic production that would have been more effective as a short, rather than stretching its thin plot to fill 90 minutes. The limited storyline struggles to maintain interest over the extended runtime.

Shortwave, 2016 – ★★

The movie left me feeling confused, as it never fully explained what was happening. Its ambiguity made it difficult to stay engaged with the story.

Uninhabited, 2010 – ★★

There’s not much substance beneath the surface. Its slow pace and lack of activity make it hard to stay invested despite the beautiful scenery.

Faceless After Dark, 2023 – ★★

The film had an interesting concept but never quite reached its full potential, leaving me wanting more. While it had moments of promise, it ultimately fell short of delivering a satisfying experience.

Sixty Minutes, 2024 – ★★

The movie is decent overall, but the MMA fighting scenes lack the cinematic flair needed to make them truly engaging on screen. While exciting in a live setting, they don’t translate as well to film.

The Devil Inside, 2012 – ★

This movie stands out as one of the laziest and most boring experiences I’ve had in a while. The ending takes the cake for being completely nonsensical and utterly disappointing.

Killing God, 2017 – ★★★

The movie starts off strong with a fun setup and intriguing characters, leading to a satisfying dark ending. However, it loses its direction in the middle, which dampens the overall impact.

Freehold, 2017 – ★★★

This film ranks as one of the most disturbing I’ve ever watched, keeping me on edge the entire time. The thrill of guessing when everything would unravel added to the twisted fun.

Land of Bad, 2024 – ★★★

This film is the epitome of a “dad movie,” and I couldn’t be happier about it. It’s exactly the kind of action-packed, straightforward entertainment I love.
