Wolf Hollow

Posted on August 23, 2023 by Joel Hilke

There are moments in this low budget, hard scrabble werewolf horror/comedy when I was having a lot of fun. And there were moments where I was impressed by the incompetence. And there wAll Postsere moments where I was just bored. … Continue reading →

Monkey King, The

Posted on August 22, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I’m aware of Monkey and Journey to the West story in broad strokes but I’ve never seen any filmed adaptation. I was curious but skeptical about this Netflix animation so I decided to give it go. The film is about … Continue reading →

Puppy Love

Posted on August 19, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Puppy Love is a sweet and decent rom-com / dog movie. It stars Grant Gustin as a neurotic mess (with a female emotional support dog) and Lucy Hale as a more down-to-earth woman (with an adopted male dog). They go … Continue reading →

One-of-a-Kind Marcie

Posted on August 19, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I’m hardly current on the state of modern Peanuts (or “Snoopy Presents”) specials but I decided to give this Apple TV+ special a shot. It’s forty-five minutes devoted to Marcie who I’m going to assume has never gotten a star … Continue reading →

Birth/Rebirth

Posted on August 18, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Birth/Rebirth is a morally corrupt film and I love it. Every single person in the movie has a vague if not non-existent grasp of medical ethics and we’re asked to go along with it. It’s dark, it’s meaty, it’s unsettling, … Continue reading →

Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Feel Kinda Left Out

Posted on August 18, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Aliens Abducted My Parents (and Now I feel Kinda Left Out) sure feels like the clickbait version of a movie title. Makes you think you’ll be watching a wackier, more satirical movie than what you actually get. And I’d be … Continue reading →

Blue Beetle

Posted on August 17, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I have no idea who Blue Beetle is as a DC comic book hero. He’s up there with the Guardians of the Galaxy and even Ant-Man as characters I didn’t know until the movie released. So maybe I wasn’t the … Continue reading →

Strays (2023)

Posted on August 16, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Strays is a massive coat of matted cognitive dissonance for me. On the one paw, sometimes it was just a bad movie… on the other paw, it would nip me with clever and smart dog jokes. When the flick ended, … Continue reading →

Babylon 5: The Road Home

Posted on August 15, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Back in the dark ages of the 1990s, I fell in love with the science fiction show Babylon 5. If you can forgive the budgetary restraints, it was one of the best tv shows on the air due to its … Continue reading →
