★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Interlocking circles of revenge is the background of this brutal 2010 special agent vs. serial killer film. By the end of the movie, you are rooting for everyone to lose. (And yet, it's still a pretty good movie.)
★★★.5 out of ★★★★★ Say it ain’t so! A real life ghost story that just might be about real life GHOSTS! Not only is this a solid little flick with a gaggle of ghostly misdirection, it’s also a film that features THE Janeane Garofalo. Sadly, while Ms. Garofalo isn’t in the film too much, her absence is made up by lots and lots of strange and ghoulish apparitions -- or not.
👿👿👿 out of 👿👿👿👿👿 This film doesn’t make a damn bit of sense, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad film. Au contraire.
★★★ out of ★★★★★ Andrew Borden : You're an abomination, Lizzie. Lizzie Borden : And at last, we are on equal footing, father.
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Themes of madness, isolation, grief, jealousy, and demons abound in this 2018 Horror Western. A pinch of Little House on the Prairie, a dollop of The Shining, a dash of the Witch, and a splash of High Plains Drifter.
★★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Jordan Peele's proves that Get Out was not a fluke. Us is a beautifully scripted, funny, thrilling, and surprisingly heady film, with a performance for the ages from Lupita Nyong'o and brilliant comic timing from Winston Duke.
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ The First Purge has a lot to say, but it does it with a rather ham-fisted approach. There isn't much subtlety to this movie. It is an interesting but flawed social commentary concept piece.
★ out of ★★★★★ If you went to Sunset Strip and asked a hip-looking millennial what elements exemplified the grindhouse cinema era, what do you think the response would be? Confused? Indifferent? Bored? Titillated? Or do you think they’d start to rattle off a listed of oft-used Rob Zombie tropes and tripe?
★★★★out of ★★★★★ A cab driver witnesses a serial killer murdering one of his victims, and finds herself his next target. She's much tougher than she looks though, in this smartly scripted thriller with strong statements about culture, family, responsibility and raw courage.
★★★.5 out of ★★★★★ You’ve seen the VHS tape. You’ve seen the poster. Hell, you’ve probably even seen the trailer for this 1980s slice of brilliance, BUT have you actually seen the movie?
★★★ out of ★★★★★ This oddly creepy Japanese Golem movie has some great individual moments, with a treatise that art can be so bad that it will devour its creators.
★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Happy Death Day 2U not surprisingly repeats much of what made it good the first time, but to less effect. Happy Death Day 2U not surprisingly repeats much of what made it good the first time, but to less effect. Happy Death Day 2U not surprisingly repeats much of ... hey, wait a minute!
★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★ Two great tastes that go great together: Teen coming-of-age movies and body horror. Blue my mind explores a Swiss girl's transformation into a mermaid while trying to win over the cool kids at her new school in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.
