Let me save you a little time. GO WATCH THIS NOW!!! This is a true Lovecraft inspired acid trip. Nicholas Cage plays the patriarch of a small farm. He has a wife and two kids. It’s the usual nuclear family trope of the supportive wife, the good kid, and the rebellious sibling. Despite that, the characters have some complexity. This is established through dialogue and … Continue reading Color Out of Space (2019) Review
I’m so glad to see the zombie genre isn’t dead. This is the most unique take on the classic monster that I’ve seen to date. The Girl With All The Gifts is a simple but satisfying story about the fight for humanity. The future of mankind rest with a girl named Melanie (Sennia Nanua). The film was originally released in the United Kingdom. It’s a … Continue reading The Girl With All The Gifts (2016) Review
I’m usually not a fan of found footage films, but V/H/S made me a believer. It’s an anthology film of some pretty fucked up stories. Perfect movie to watch when you have company over. There are jump scares. However, the most terrifying part is the reveal at the end of each short. You may think you know how it’s going to end, but you don’t. … Continue reading V/H/S (2012) Review
If I only had one word to describe Aliens, it would be tension. They really revved up the creepy horror element in this sequel. Even if you didn’t see the first film, the dialogue does a good job bringing you up to speed. The long head Xenomorphs are back and even scarier. They aren’t like other predatory creatures that kill for sport, they have an … Continue reading Aliens (1986) Review
Let me tell you something, CG animation will NEVER look as good as practical effects. The Thing has the most disgusting, disturbing, and downright terrible creatures I’ve ever seen. It was a true monster flick full of suspenseful moments. Imagine if Clue and Slither had a love child. It’s a good time and a film that still holds up in 2020. Kurt Russell and Keith … Continue reading The Thing (1982) Review
Yet another backstory in the Star Wars universe we did not need. I thought the Han Solo character was great as a smuggler with a mysterious past. When he was introduced in the first film, he was presented as an outlaw being hunted, one that isn’t afraid to kill in order to survive. He was also funny and charming. That guy was not in this … Continue reading Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) Review
People have looked at me in shock every time I told them, “I have never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show.” As someone who considers themselves a movie buff, I was offended. So I made it a priority to watch this. I can now say it was worth the hype. This is the strangest and most original movie I’ve ever seen. I asked myself throughout the … Continue reading The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) Review
It’s been a long journey to the season finale. Both Mando and Baby Yoda have been through so much. Now they’re pinned down in a stand-off against a horde of Imperial Storm Troopers and the big bad, Moff Gideon, played by the uber talented Giancarlo Esposito. Let me tell you, this guy scares the shit out of me. He’s a master of manipulation. Even though … Continue reading The Mandalorian S01E08
And we’re back with another review of The Mandalorian. This episode is titled, The Reckoning. It is also by far one of the best in the series. Stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. Our hero, Mando, has to recruit allies to assist him with a job. Immediately the characters are thrown into chaotic situations. I really loved this installment because it mirrors the original … Continue reading The Mandalorian S01E07
YES!!! Now this is what I signed up for. Chapter 6, titled The Prisoner is a return to form. We learn some additional information on Mando’s past. The episode starts with Mando receiving a job to rescue a prisoner, no questions asked. To accompany him are some extremely shady characters that he once knew. They were an amazing addition to the story. All of the … Continue reading The Mandalorian S01E06
