I have a huge soft spot for William Malone’s House On Haunted Hill, the remake of the William Castle’s movie from 1959. And that’s because it’s a great remake despite being an okay movie, which might sounds a bit contradictory, but makes perfect sense if you give it a little thought. Malone’s movie takes all […]
I didn’t catch Tim Miller’s Terminator: Dark Fate in theaters though having recently seen it I’m okay with that. As I discuss in my video, the greatest problem with the Terminator films is by my reckoning not that they all have the same story but they obviously have the same story. And that’s not unusual. […]

Though crushed expectations notwithstanding, if that were the only thing wrong with The Lighthouse I might have been able to […]

The movie revolves around the odyssey of a father and daughter Chris and Reese (Dominic Moynahan and Brighton Sharbino) who’re trying to reach their grandfather, Frank (Will Patton) who lives deep in the backwoods after […]
The Spierig Brothers’ Winchester is a fascinating movie that somehow manages to take the genuinely uncanny life of Sarah Winchester (the wife of William Winchester and heir to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company) and make it boring. It’s surprising because even a cursory examination of her life shows how fascinating it is. As I mentioned, […]
