Rented the latest “Nicholas Cage is gonna Nicolas Cage” flick Mandy. This is in limited theatrical release and available streaming (at least on iTunes). It begs the question: is Nicolas Cage making the freakout weirdo movies he wants to make … Continue reading
Checked out the new horror flick Hell Fest… I’m sure you’ve heard of it! This is an unabashed, unadorned, gimmick-free throwback to 80s and 90s slasher flicks. There’s no particular reason this particular creepy-masked killer is hunting teenagers. There’s no … Continue reading
So I checked out the new teen-violence-or-something film Assassination Nation. This, assuming anyone sees it, will surely be one heck of divisive film. It’s about girls standing up for themselves against slutshaming… by wielding automatic weapons (and katanas). It’s a … Continue reading

Also rented the DC animated film The Death of Superman which tells the tale of… you know… the death of Superman. This is from the 90s comic where Doomsday shows up, kills Supes, and the world mourns until it’s the … Continue reading
Being a bit grimmer, I rented the film Flower, a teen dark comedy. Gave this one a shot after seeing it compared to the (also dark comedy) Thoroughbreds which I’d liked earlier this year. This one isn’t quite as good … Continue reading
