The Insufferable Groo, 2018

Probably the mostly aptly named movie ever made. Stephen Groo has earned his place in history right next to Mark Borchardt – two guys with ambitions that outpace their budgets.

The Conjuring 2, 2016

I really like Farmiga and Wilson in these roles. These films just need to be about 30 minutes shorter, they just tend to drag on a little too long for me.

Bohemian Rhapsody, 2018

I know they filmmakers played fast and loose with some facts and timelines and I really don’t care. Freddie Mercury was and always be the best frontman ever.

Escape at Dannemora, 2018

The cast was so good you almost forgot these characters were all terrible people. Nobody can convey such a sense of pity or terror with a single look like Benicio Del Toro. That guy is insanely good.

Springsteen On Broadway, 2018

Definitive proof that Bruce is the best. I’m so happy Netflix filmed and released this show because there was no way I would have been able to see it otherwise.

Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead, 1994

Surprisingly better than I remembered. You can tell there’s a lot of other movies influencing this installment – Army of Darkness goofiness, Return of the Living Dead zombies, Home Alone styled kid.

Phantasm II, 1988

Everything you could have every wanted to see in a sequel to the original cult classic. I love that it still doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, 2018

The choose your own adventure gimmick was a clever way to explore the idea of free will, I just wish the overall story was a little more interesting. I think I found the most “Black Mirror” type of ending but who knows. I kind of just ran out of decision...

Bird Box, 2018

The flashbacks were good, modern day stuff not so much. I can’t help to think what and 80s era John Carpenter at his prime could have done with a premise like this. That could have been something pretty special.

The Conjuring, 2013

Much better than I remember it from the first time I saw it back when it was originally released. I still can’t figure out why it’s rated R. Everything seems pretty tame to me.

Phantasm, 1979

Still holds up incredibly well after all these years. The Bad Robot restoration is truly amazing, it looks like a movie that released this year.

Rings, 2017

A bunch of scientists studying the Samara curse could have been such a cool idea. Instead we got this awful movie.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 2018

A love letter to comic books as an art form and the lasting power of Spider-Man. This movie is so, so good. I was thrilled, I laughed, I choked up. I can’t wait for more!
