A β˜…β˜… review of The Invitation (2022) I just kept imagining that Thomas Doherty's estate shared a backyard with Saltburn. That's how starved for engagement I was. Forget the 50 Shades of Grey films. THIS felt like watching actual fanficti...

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child (1989) Despite its weird pro-life vibe and uneven tone, I liked the motorcycle and superhero sequences, at least. And the kid that gives Dr. Grant shit in Jurassic Park (1993) is here, so...neat, I guess.

Something about that line delivery just killed me. I'm really enjoying #TheChairCompany so far.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of John Candy: I Like Me (2025) I would have clocked the first entertainment reporter that tried to make a cutesy dig about my weight to my face. John was a class act with the patience of a saint. This was a very good reflection and...

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of 28 Years Later (2025) Gnarly and gruesome. And yet...tender and the last act made me weep uncontrollably. It's VERY apparent that this is only the springboard into much larger ideas and I feel that's where the film falls s...

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Trick 'r Treat (2007) Bwahahaha, this is like the scary season parallel to Crash (2004) except it's actually good and knows what it's doing. So demented, but also intentionally corny and...dare I say...sweet? A pretty good...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015) It has some solid creepy sequences and the malicious entity this time around is actually far more unsettling and intimidating than previous ones. Where this movie struggles is in tone. Having Lin Shay...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) Being a little more lenient on the sequel. I feel like I know what I'm in for with this franchise now and this one is goofy fun from the get-go: Lin Shaye's voice being awkwardly dubbed over a younger...

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of Insidious (2010) LOL The actual on-camera demons/ghosts don't do much for me. I just personally don't find melty-faced Michael Sheen from the Twilight flicks, Darth Maul-Krueger-Nightcrawler, and a newsie kid jamming ...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Bring Her Back (2025) Probably should have started with Talk to Me (2022), but whatever: THIS is my first official Philippou Twins joint. Eh. It's okay. Sally Hawkins and the kid playing Oliver are doing some serious heavy...

A β˜…β˜…Β½ review of The 4:30 Movie (2024) Torn right down the middle on this. Stuff I liked: This is lifted from Kevin Smith's own adolescence, so he has a clear focus on capturing the heightened melodrama that I'm sure came with raging hormo...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Parthenope (2024) This is only my 2nd Paolo Sorrentino film and The Great Beauty (2013) really did spoil me, I guess. I dunno...this may need a 2nd watch to really wrap my head around it. I love the visuals. I want to ...

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Dick Tracy (1990) Haven't seen this in years. Still have a soft spot for this wholly original and stylistic misfire. The plot is whatever, but the filmmaking it's wrapped up in is something else. I love the colors, the...
