Entitled, The

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Let my suffering be a warning to you all: just because it’s on Netflix and “free” doesn’t mean it won’t cost you your soul. If I could sue myself for intolerable cruelty for making myself sit through this garbage, I … Continue reading →

American Carnage

Posted on July 29, 2022 by Joel Hilke

American Carnage opens with a title scene that you’ll either see as biting satire, the goddamn truth, or lies and slander. I suspect what you think of it will color your opinion of the film (and if you are hard-core … Continue reading →

1Up

Posted on July 27, 2022 by Joel Hilke

1Up is an Amazon Prime underdog competition comedy about a group of ladies who form an all-women’s university eSports team. Can this plucky bunch of stereotypes beat the sexist goons on the top-rated team? Have you seen a movie before? … Continue reading →

Last Thing Mary Saw, The

Posted on July 26, 2022 by Joel Hilke

The Last Thing Mary Saw is an oppressively stifling suspense/drama with a scattered of horror elements. This is a film that will hold you down, apply pressure on your chest till you gasp for air… or it might just bore … Continue reading →

Bāhubali: The Beginning

Posted on July 24, 2022 by Joel Hilke

After watching (and loving) RRR from this director, I circled back around to see his earlier over-the-top, earnest, committed action romance spectacle Bāhubali (the Beginning). And I was pretty gripped by it for the first half… but maybe not so … Continue reading →

Moloch

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Moloch is a Shudder original Dutch horror film that isn’t so much a slow burn as it just takes a long time to get to the point. But, once it does, it’s suitably creepy and almost makes an argument for … Continue reading →

Gray Man, The

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Joel Hilke

The Gray Man doesn’t start strong and I was all settled into a really mediocre and annoyingly long sit… and then it wormed its way into me until I realized, no, I was actually having fun with this nonsense. And … Continue reading →

Nope

Posted on July 21, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Nope is the latest sci-fi/horror film from Jordan Peele after his knock-out hit of Get Out and less successful (but interesting) Us. It takes his encyclopedia of film tropes to a new frontier… sci-fi/horror with nods and winks to the … Continue reading →

Live is Life

Posted on July 20, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Live Is Life is a Spanish coming-of-age film that borrows loosely from other, similar films like Stand By Me. This pre-programs me to want to love it. It’s about five teenage boys in Spain who set out on adventure (after … Continue reading →
