LATEST STUFF

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!

Under the Silver Lake, 2018

Since I’ve watched this movie I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the career trajectories of David Robert Mitchell and Richard Kelly. Both directors followed up their cult indie hits (IT FOLLOWS and DONNIE DARKO) with wildly ambitious tales of Los Angeles. Personally I do not like Southland Tales...

The Clovehitch Killer, 2018

Once in a while a movie like this comes out of nowhere and really impresses me. McDermott was downright creepy. I recommend checking this one out without watching any trailers and if you like stuff like Zodiac.

Annabelle: Creation, 2017

A shockingly adequate sequel to the horrible original movie. Don’t get me wrong, this was still a pretty bad movie but at least it had a few decent set pieces and it tried to tell an interesting story.

Annabelle, 2014

The acting was terrible. The script was terrible. A dreadful waste of time.

The Gardens Between, 2018

I really enjoyed the time shift mechanics and the clever ways the game used it. They story was also heartfelt and relatable.

Venom, 2018

Tom Hardy is completely miscast in this movie. I didn’t believe for one second he was some hard boiled investigative reporter. The action scenes were so boring. I have no idea how this movie made $800 million.

Atlantic Rim, 2013

It was a lot of fun to watch this awful movie with the MST3k treatment. I feel bad for anyone who watched this without them.

Dead or Alive, 1999

Best ending in all of movies? Maybe but just don’t ask me what happened in the other 90+ minutes of this whacked out movie. I have no idea.

Blood Rage, 1987

Where has this movie been all of my life? I don’t know how I missed this back in the VHS glory days. What a fun slasher movie!
