A ★★★ review of Blue Thunder (1983) I never got to see Blue Thunder back in 1983. But, man, that trailer looked awesome! Jaws’ Roy Scheider is a pilot testing a space age helicopter but then learns that this is the first steps in a corp...

Slow West (2015) In the Old West, a 17-year-old Scottish boy teams up with a mysterious gunman to find the woman with whom he is infatuated.

All the elements of a classic Western but it feels fresh.

This is a screenshot from my Letterboxd profile showing the last four movies I watched which are The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Revenge, Beware! The Blob and The Hearse.

The best time I’ve had in the theater this year, a squirmy revenge thriller aptly named, a slap in the face to a sci-fi classic and a solid 80s satanic haunted car flick that was referenced in a cartoon from the teens.

A ★★★ review of The Hearse (1980) There was a cartoon on the Cartoon Network called Regular Show. I was too old to watch it during its initial run but my daughter watched the reruns and I watched them with her. It’s about a bluejay an...

The Hearse is “Ello Gov'nor” from Regular Show.

Terrible title, though. It sounds like the answer to the question, “but whyyyy?”

A ★½ review of Beware! The Blob (1972) The 1958 picture The Blob is a classic. A premise so simple that somehow taps into a primal part of our brain. It’s a single-celled organism that begins breaking us down and consuming us at a touch. I...

Beware! The Blob is every bit as bad as The Room and Troll 2.

My first Letterboxd Pal Cinefeast33 and I watched the same movie and each gave their thoughts. I gush over it, Cine has a much more balanced and thoughtful response. If you only have time to read one review today, read his.

My set has the 1946 The Killers.

I have tickets to Fantastic Four Sunday, We Live in Time checked out from the library and five movies from a noir set I bought a couple of weeks ago: Phantom Lady, The Blue Dahlia, Black Angel, The Killers and Criss Cross.

Any of those sound good?

This is a screenshot of my Letterboxd account showing the last four films I watched which are The Glass Key, The Hitcher, The Rule of Jenny Penn and The Leopard.

Classic Noir, 80s pulp thriller, old folks home horror and an Italian epic historical.
