Fall

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Fall (not Moonfall, Legends of the Fall, Falling Down, or even The Fall) is what happens when Cliffhanger and The Descent have a baby birthed by Buzzfeed Studios and it doesn’t suck. It’s not amazing and it has unfortunate downtime, … Continue reading →

Secret Headquarters

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Secret Headquarters is the kind of bad that makes me want to apologize to most modern blockbusters and Netflix originals for showing us what a bad superhero movie really looks like. But, then again, this is barely a superhero movie… … Continue reading →

13: The Musical

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Joel Hilke

I’m not sure why I kept watching this once I realized this Netflix musical was for and about middle schoolers. I’m not the target market but I once was a 13 year old (who didn’t break out into song randomly) … Continue reading →

Day Shift

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Day Shift is a new Netflix original that was all over the map. It started strong but then threatened to become a goofy buddy cop movie… and then exploded with exploding vampire gore and inventive kills, and then slowed down, … Continue reading →

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Posted on August 12, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Bodies Bodies Bodies is a dark horror comedy/slasher/murder mystery with a capable cast playing very unlikable characters who you wouldn’t mind seeing bodied. But since it’s a bit of a goof on Twitter/TikTok/Gen-Z-like dialog, a lot of the bickering becomes … Continue reading →

Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99

Posted on August 12, 2022 by Joel Hilke

I wasn’t planning to watch this three episode documentary on Netflix since I thought the fantastic Woodstock ’99 on HBO last year covered the same bases. But I heard recently this one was good too, longer, and had additional footage … Continue reading →

Easter Sunday

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Joel Hilke

For a movie called Easter Sunday, this has about as much to do with Easter as my big toe. Also, and perhaps incidentally, I saw this at the theater and there was a trailer for a SUPER gay film called … Continue reading →

Resurrection

Posted on August 11, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Resurrection is an unsettling film about deeply unsettling people anchored by three great performances. The movie stars Hall as strong, forthright doctor living alone with her seventeen year old daughter. But she has a troubled past that returns to her … Continue reading →

Gone in the Night

Posted on August 10, 2022 by Joel Hilke

Gone in the Night is a thriller suspense mystery with very few thrills, very little suspense, and a mystery that the lead character has very little interest in solving. Resulting in a movie that is hard to recommend but maybe … Continue reading →

Moderator, The

Posted on August 9, 2022 by Joel Hilke

The Moderator is the kind of bad movie that you’re surprised still gets made. A monumentally moldering mess that barely qualifies as having a plot. So full of bad acting, low-energy action, bad editing, and the worst performance from someone … Continue reading →
