This movie starts off B-ish but ends in an A movie shelf and one could argue a classic western from a different perspective. Fun and interesting. Great job all around.

This movie is up there in terms of vampire gore and horror movies go - it was interesting to watch, a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously but brings the audience to various degrees of action and thrill and the plot is kinda of a novelty in itself, I’d like to see a part II - but it’s from the Dad’s perspective.

It was good, but wasn’t great. I’m a big B movie buff and this has a lot of elements of an A movie but still landed in the B category for these reasons (SPOILERS): Ending: The pay off was lazy, and unrealistic. “The treatment center is right next to the hospital” was not good enough exposition to justify that ending. The plot was good though. Evolution of Species: If you’re going to base the entity or animal on an “ancient species” at least explain the cuckoo theory thoroughly so that the audience leaves thinking this could actually happen. You could have used the music aspect way more impactful - like when they face off in the library, but the song is a “soft” one… ___ Acting, Camera shots, art theory, sound, make-up, sci-fi, and general production were awesome.

You know what you’re getting if you’ve seen the trailer the real surprise is how and when you get it. Great acting, intrigue and a lead up that pokes fun in a mature way at helicopter parenting and broken marriages. It missed the mark of 5 stars, leading in this genre, because I felt they played it a bit safe, with either the action and one could argue the writing. Still, a must-watch, and classic for family vacation horror. Funny Games is 5 stars in this regard.

The Penguin pulls no punches, 4 episodes in and this series proves that world building in the DCU is not only possible, but can evolve cinema to tell darker, truer stories about our villains without clinging to the played out thread of Hollywood heroes. A MUST WATCH. This show made watching Matt Reeves The Batman better because it show what more could be possible.

This movie brings you back to when you were a kid, watching scary 80s horror movies. After the “transformation” starts, Salem’s Lot takes a bite and doesn’t let up.

Didn’t bother to finish it. Skip this one.

There are parts of this movie that will look better and more terrifying than the horror of today. Unfortunately the dubbing and acting is pretty bad with a plot that makes you want to fast-forward. The bat on the hand was a great scene, alongside others - there is something awesome about the ending, the angles as Fruedstein grabs Bob.

This film is artistic commentary on communism - the only literal clue is a post of Che in Wilders bedroom. I gave it a 3 because the art style and actors seemed to carry the film with little plot they had to work with. The movie feels like your stuck in the 70s high rise building, with a few different type of social classes that can’t seem to figure out how to take care of the building. Eventually everyone becomes extremely selfish and insanity and violence ensue as the rich talk about everything their “lowers” do to themselves. Ultimately the film felt pointless - and I was disappointed because for most of it, I was thoroughly entertained. Unfortunately the last hour brought this film into a twilight zone it could never recover from.

Save your money / time - watch Spider-Man No Way Home for a third time instead. This is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Spoiler alert below. Plot & Characters: The ending happened in a Starbucks cafe named Simulatte. The beginning looked like a cheap heist film shot inside a small studio - it was cringe. There isn’t anything you care for in the film, regardless of what the movie is trying to sell you as meaningful. There’s 0 tension because no one dies. Neo doesn’t have all his powers and Keanu comes across like a dopey rendition of Bill & Ted turned Neo. What got me the most was how absurd Jada Pinkett’s return was both over-emphasized and disastrous due to make-up. TOO MUCH TALKING. The only saving grace here is Bugs - and she can’t save the film. Ideas: I want to point out that if you go into this film looking for good ideas, you’ll find them - they are just terribly misused and feels as though the entire film was made for an audience of one.
