I received an invite from Dread Central to catch an early release of Alex McAulay’s Don’t Tell A Soul, which I went into it blind. I’m not sure why I did though I’m really glad that I did because after having seen it, if someone called it a “masterpiece” I could understand where they were […]
By my reckoning the best sort of movie is one that takes you entirely by surprise. The type of movie you go into not knowing a thing (or relatively little) about to discover a really awesome experience. And that’s what Daniel Isn’t Real is. The movie revolves around a young person, Luke (Miles Robbins, the […]
Having seen Tenet recently from the relative safety of my apartment, I’m glad that I didn’t risk my life to see it in a theater because it’s not only too long – at 2 1/2 hours it could have easily been whittled down at least a half hour – but it’s also more than a […]
We Can Be Heroes is the first of the movies that Robert Rodriguez occasionally writes and directs for children (Sharkboy and Lavagirl, Spy Kids) that I have watched in it’s entirety and it’s as banal as I always assumed that the movies he’s written and directed for children would be. And it’s worth mentioning that […]
Having read a bit about the bizarre story behind Grizzly II: Revenge (1983) I was really curious about not only it, but the movie it’s a sequel to, 1976’s Grizzly (currently spooling on Tubi). And it’s okay though what works for a shark doesn’t quite work for a massive, 15-feet tall bear (standing on its […]
Good Bigfoot movies are hard to come by. Off the top of my head I can recall (“sorta” as far as the former is concerned) The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972), Willow Creek (2012) and Exists (2014). Which isn’t to say that there’re aren’t more, just that they aren’t particularly good. Prove me wrong. They’re […]
Not to be confused with The Aisle (which you’d think was the title of this movie as often as I’ve corrected myself). Anyway, the fetishization of black and white filmmaking by some has always bothered me because they typically imply that it began as an esthetic choice, as opposed to filmmakers having no other option. […]
If you’ve had your fill of Rick And Morty – I haven’t though sometimes I find the show too clever for it’s own good. It’s definitely a smart show, but I feel as if on occasion it rubs viewers noses in how witty it is, which gets tiring. And then there’s Archer – another great […]
I was really impressed with Sang ho-Yeon’s Train To Busan (2016) though when I heard that there was a sequel I was curious about it but also somewhat concerned because sequels can be franchise killers in that they either are clones of the original movie – making them pointless – or they’re so wildly divergent […]
Considering the disaster of a year we’re currently enduring I didn’t imagine I want to see – much less enjoy – a movie about a comet slamming into the planet – though could it make things any worse? Judging from Ric Roman Waugh’s Greenland, the answer is “Yes. Yes it could.” That being said I […]
