Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, 1986

Still completely disturbing 30 years later. Everything about it seems too real and makes your skin crawl. I’m so glad Joe Bob picked this one for The Last Drive-In.

Dragged Across Concrete, 2018

Oozing with enough atmosphere for 2 or 3 movies. I like how Zahler’s movies play out like novels. They take their time developing characters and their backstories before everything is turned upside down in a hail of bullets and buckets of blood.

Avengers: Endgame, 2019

A completely satisfying end to the 20+ movie saga that started way back in 2008. It’s unbelievable that something like this exists at this high of an enjoyable level and we got to enjoy it chapter by chapter while it unfolded.

Madman, 1982

Great poster art, poor Friday the 13th ripoff. The hot tub scene will haunt me until the day I die.

Society, 1989

Such a weird and goopy movie. It takes forever to finally get to the fantastic final act. I love how it just ends.

The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, 2019

I didn’t know anything about Theranos before the documentary and now I can’t get enough of this wild story. Hopefully the upcoming movie or tv series covers more of the aftermath and subsequent trials.

Q, 1982

There’s a lot of waiting around until you get to that wildly entertaining finale. Cohen and Moriarty have to be one of the best director/actor combos of all time.

Glass, 2019

A really fun first 10 minutes followed by 90 minutes of almost complete boredom. And to top it all off was one of the most fascinatingly bad and misguided endings I have seen in a long time. If you liked the first two parts I guess you gotta finish it.

The Dirt, 2019

One of the most interesting stories in rock n roll told in the most boring way possible. Go watch the Behind the Music episode instead.

Us, 2019

From what I’ve read so far this seems to be a movie that people who don’t watch a lot of horror movies really love. I have seen A LOT of horror movies and I was pretty disappointed. It was way too long. Cut out Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker completely...

Bumblebee, 2018

Finally a decent Transformers movie. I can’t believe I just said that. I hope they keep the old school character designs and light tone in the eventual sequels.

Triple Frontier, 2019

I’m always a sucker for a good guys on a mission movie, and when you mix in a tense heist I’m all over that. I really enjoyed the twists and turns it took even when you know things always go wrong in a movie like this.

Aquaman, 2018

I like the character designs and the overall world but the story left much to be desired. Let’s hope they come up with a much better story for the eventual sequel.

Phantasm IV: Oblivion, 1998

I found it impressive that this movie really had nothing going on. That’s hard to do. Movies usually have stuff happening all the time. This is a hard watch for even the most diehard Phantasm fans.

The House That Jack Built, 2018

I’m not the world’s biggest Lars Von Trier fan but even I have to say this was a pretty interesting movie with some scenes that will stick with me for a while.
