Rambo: Last Blood

               John motherfucking Rambo. I love these movies. Well, I love most of these movies. The original First Blood is a classic action film that is far more poignant and somber than people remember. That’s because the first sequel, Rambo: First Blood Part 2, is easily the most iconic and successful of the series. That […]

Ready or Not

               Ready or Not is a freaking blast and easily one of my favorite movies of the year. That’s especially impressive considering that this kind of thing is hard to pull off. This is a thriller/comedy and that is a tough balance to strike; usually it devolves into just being a comedy with thriller elements. […]

Knives Out

               I love a good whodunit. I’m a big fan of Agatha Christie’s novels, Clue is one of my all-time favorite movies and the idea of a bunch of rich people sitting around a parlor and drinking brandy as they are systematically bumped-off just speaks to me for some reason. What the fuck is a […]

Annihilation

               Go see this movie. Don’t wait until its on Netflix, go to the theater and see it. Let me put that plea into a bit of context. Not only is Annihilation an excellent film, but the assholes that run Paramount tried to bury it by dumping it directly onto Netflix after it received poor […]

Bad Times at the El Royale

               It’s time to travel back to a magical time called the mid-90s. It was a time when video stores supplied our weekend entertainment, TLC warned us of the dangers of waterfalls and Dunkaroos were plentiful. It was also a time when the indie movie scene exploded, largely thanks to Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith. […]

Overlord

               Overlord is not what I was expecting. Based on the trailers, I expected a goofy, over-the-top horror/comedy in the vein of Evil Dead 2 or Demon Knight. Instead, the closest comparison that I can make is From Dusk till Dawn. Not in terms of plot, but in the sense that this is basically two […]

Mission: Impossible – Fallout

               Short review for everyone complaining that my reviews are too long: This movie is good.                Now, for everyone else: Mission: Impossible is one of those series that’s perfectly fine, but I can never remember a damn thing about them. I know that Part 2 is my least favorite and has that godawful Metallica […]

Hell Fest

               I had a goddamn blast with this movie. As I’ve mentioned before, I love slasher movies and this is the first real slasher movie that I’ve seen since….I don’t even fucking know. And by “real” slasher movie, I mean R-rated so Happy Death Day can get the fuck out of here. I’m also probably […]

The Disaster Artist

               As a connoisseur of cinematic trainwrecks, I have really been looking forward to this film. For the uninitiated, The Disaster Artist is the true story of the making of one of the most notoriously awful movies ever made: The Room. I fucking love The Room. I have probably watched it more than a dozen […]

Logan

               Logan is one of the best superhero movies ever made. Speaking as a film fanatic who owns thousands of comic books, that isn’t something that I would say lightly. It is both bewildering and stunning that this was made by the same director (James Mangold) that made The Wolverine. It’s bewildering that the man […]
