The Heroic Trio (1993). I've been long overdue for a revisit of this whacky Hong Kong superhero/fantasy/action/semi-horror hybrid about a trio of female heroes who wage battle against a centuries-old...
Binged most of the series Thursday, saved the last episode for last night. What a great show. I like that it is clearly set in the world and mythology of the game series and contains numerous...
:yawn:
Mute Witness (1995), a taut suspense/thriller about a mute special FX artist working on a film in Moscow who finds herself hunted by the makers of a snuff film she witnessed being shot on the set...
Morbius (2023). Sure, it's a Sony Marvel flick, but it's about a vampire, so, horror it is. And it's not nearly as terrible as you may have heard. I'm not saying it's good, either, just not abjectly...
"Beef," on Netflix. Starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as strangers who descend into a vicious battle of one-upmanship following a road rage incident. Cringey, tense, anxiety-inducing, and...
Camp Death III in 2D! (2019), an at-times painfully janky slasher spoof centering on a masked killer descending upon a summer camp a few years after a previous slaughter. Very cheap, tries way, WAY...
Even better than the first trailer. Really looking forward to this!
Studio 666 (2022), the Foo Fighter's first foray into feature fright fare (alliteration!) sees the band, playing themselves, as they hole up at a remote mansion with a bad history in order to make...
I'm currently 36 minutes into Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving" on Netlfix and I can honestly say it's terrific.
Pfft. Nah, I'm totally joking. It's pure shit. I actually fell for some of the good reviews...
I did a streaming search and it doesn't look like The Card Player is available through any streaming services, but I have a digital copy I can upload and share. I'll try to remember to do that...
I love Phenomena (which was a couple years before Opera). I call it Argento's "kitchen sink" movie, because it feels like Argento threw every errant idea he could think of into it. Monkey with a...
^^^I commented above that Tenebre is my favorite Argento flick, but Opera is a VERY close second. IMO, it's Argento's last legitimately good movie.
Dark Blue (2002). Been a while since I saw this gritty urban crime thriller starring Kurt Russell as a thug cop who works for an even dirtier commanding officer, and their efforts to woo a promising...
I have a deeper appreciation for Inferno than I think most Argento fans. I would never say it's his best film (that would be Tenebrae for me) but I think it has a lot more interesting facets to it...
Barbie (2023). I was expecting something more mundane, the kind of easy cash-in you usually get with a toy-to-movie adaptation, but this was a lot of fun. Incels, women-haters and the toxically...
To be fair, Blood isn't his best movie.
But also to be fair, even his best movies are no good.
I've only played a Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I love both of 'em and this adaptation looks pretty damned good. Looking forward to it.
I actually watched Usher the week before I watched Midnight Mass (binged it with my sister who was here visiting for a week) but forgot to write about it here. I think it's just as good as Mass --...
Midnight Mass (2021), Mike Flanagan's Netflix horror series about a new priest who comes to a small island populated by pious citizens and begins performing miracles. An interesting story, routinely...
Totally Killer (2023). Back to the Future meets Scream as a Gen Z high schooler goes back in time to prevent the recent murder of her mother at the hands of a killer who has returned after a triple...
Eaten Alive (1976). First time watching Tobe Hooper's follow-up to the far superior Texas Chainsaw Massacre, about a grungy motel owner who feeds those who displease him to the alligator living in...
Finished the season (series?) finale after work today. Not quite up to snuff with the fantastic original series -- the more laxed streaming standards allowed the characters to drop plenty of...
Stuck through it to the end. My take, and this is coming from someone who is very much an MCU fan: this series sucked. Maybe two decent episodes, Ben Mendelsohn was good as always, and the guy...
From what I recall back in my comic book nerd days, there were a few different iterations of Blue Beetle. My favorite didn't involve a suit of armor, but was a dude named Ted Kord, who was basically...
