I’m in #lasvegas for Best Friends Forever Fest. So many great bands, but Jawbreaker is the holy grail.

A ★★★½ review of The Black Phone (2021) Grabbers gonna grab. I’d previously read the source material and now, having seen the film, I still have the same question: how the hell is there a sequel coming out this? That being said, this is the...

Grabbers gonna grab.

So, I rewatched Garfield’s Halloween Adventure last night (because it’s not truly Halloween season until you do), and this scene with Odie is clearly the inspiration for Aunt Gladys from Weapons.

A ★★½ review of Night of the Reaper (2025) Night of the Reaper starts out as a serviceable lowkey 80s set slasher, but then the movie jumps the shark. And then it finds a couple more sharks and films itself jumping over them too.

Well, that took several turns.

A ★★★½ review of Strange Harvest (2024) This one nails its “tv true crime doc” gimmick so well that it could probably fool an unknowing viewer for a while; at least until it starts getting overly graphic/strange. The flip side is that the f...

A ★★★★ review of Attack the Block (2011) Attack the Block is an absolute fucking delight, and I honestly almost gave 4.5. I can’t believe they made this with a budget of about thirteen million.

I’m rewatching Buffy right now & when I get to the appropriate season, I’ll be watching Angel in tandem. Love these shows.

A ★★★½ review of Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) As I thought I recalled, I prefer Volume One to Volume Two. I think the extra runtime hurts this entry, and I find the latter half of this, the interactions with Bill & B.B. and the flashbacks contain...

Vol. 1 is better.

A ★★ review of Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys (2004) This film is just full of surprises. Here are few things I was not expecting: • Despite being a crossover film between two Full Moon franchises, this was a made for tv movie for the Si-Fi channel, bec...

A bad movie I make no apologies for liking.

A ★★ review of The Lawnmower Man (1992) Is this a good Stephen King adaptation? Absolutely not. Does it work as a quality standalone film? Also no. But are the effects at least worthwhile? Oh, no no no no no. Did I know all of this since I ...

CGI peaked in 1992.

A ★★★★ review of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) Possibly QT’s most fun film, which I know is an odd thing to say about a murder-revenge movie chock full of sexual assault.  It’ll be interesting to see how Part II stacks up on rewatch, as I remember...

I don’t think I trust this Bill character.

A ★★★★ review of One Battle After Another (2025) Damn. PT really out here like what if El Duderino from The Big Lebowski was a dad… AND fought fascists.

Fuck yeah!

A ★★½ review of 8MM (1999) The movie that answers the question, “What if the guy who gave us Bat Nipples™️ made a movie about snuff films?” Actually, I’m pretty sure I saw this in the theater as a wayward teen, so I suppose thi...

Hey, remember this one?

A ★★★★ review of Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) The average rating of this film is a travesty. It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham. While I can’t say this the “best” entry in the Halloween fr...

A ★★★½ review of Crimes of the Future (2022) It’s what’s inside that counts. Rellenorrigby, you were right: I did find this one pretty fascinating. I’ll have sit with & digest it (pun partially intended), and I’ll probably need to rewatch it, bu...

A ★★½ review of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) I loved the sets, animation, costumes, effects, and overall vibe, but apparently my finger isn’t on the pulse of late 1940s horror-comedy, and that’s just something I’ll have to live with. I laughed a...

Watched for the Halloweenies podcast.

A ★★★★ review of Total Recall (1990) Another Arnold action sci-fi adaptation that takes liberties with the source material. It’s just as over the top as The Running Man, and has its own serving of cheese, but it holds up better, even wit...

A ★★★★★ review of Donnie Darko (2001) Director’s Cut. This was another long overdue rewatch and, though I slightly regret watching the director’s cut for this go-around, mostly because of the change in music selections (Killing Moon and U...

The Long Walk is tremendous. It might end up being my number two film of the year, behind Sinners.

Happy Birthday to Stephen King, Bill Murray, and departed fellow legend Leonard Cohen.

Then there’s me being born two days later like a sucker.

A ★★ review of Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (1993) Look, this is not a good movie. And it commits the signature Full Moon faux pas of padding its scant one hour runtime with flashbacks/previously used footage. It’s garbage, but it’s delicious Full Moo...

A ★★★ review of The Running Man (1987) A rewatch in preparation for Edgar Wright’s upcoming adaptation. As far removed from the source material as this is, it’s depressing to think that we are currently about fifteen minutes away from eith...

A ★½ review of Bad Channels (1992) “My lord, what a mess!” I can not, in good conscience, recommend this movie to anyone who is not either a. A superfan of original MTV VJ Martha Quinn or b. A superfan of Blue Oyster Cult who, for some...
