Popes Exorcist, The

Posted on April 14, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Y’know, calling a movie The Pope’s Exorcist seems unfair to the demon. It’s doubling down on the holy…. but that assumes the demon is Catholic… maybe the demon is Presbyterian or Mormon or Seventh Day Adventist? All I know for … Continue reading →

Colonials

Posted on April 14, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Sometimes you blind watch an unknown indie film with the hope you’ll stumble upon a classic. This is one of those times… but it’s hardly a classic. Some would argue it’s hardly a movie. I wouldn’t go that far… but, … Continue reading →

Renfield

Posted on April 13, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Renfield is a fun but slight movie. So slight that it holds it back from greatness. It’s a meta action/horror/comedy hybrid that manages its various genres pretty well. The movie stars Nicholas Holt as Renfield, forever the familiar to the … Continue reading →

Paint

Posted on April 12, 2023 by Joel Hilke

What if Bob Ross as played by Owen Wilson. That’s it. That’s the joke. Hope you laughed because there’s 90 minutes of that knee-slapper. Paint is about a guy with curly hair who hosts a painting show on a local … Continue reading →

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham

Posted on April 11, 2023 by Joel Hilke

This DC animated film is a much better idea than it is an actual movie. Mix Batman and his mythology with HP Lovecraft and his cosmic horror. That’s not half bad. But it introduces a mystery that even the mad … Continue reading →

You’re Killing Me

Posted on April 8, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I rented You’re Killing Me since it gave me a Ready or Not vibe from the cover art and description… and that was pretty accurate, though at a much lower budget and far more scattered a tone and themes. The … Continue reading →

On a Wing and a Prayer

Posted on April 8, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Well, it’s amateur hour at the Amazon Prime studios and I’m sharpening my knife here. Yes, for the price of an hour and forty of your life and a Prime account, you too can watch one of the worst films … Continue reading →

Chupa

Posted on April 7, 2023 by Joel Hilke

Chupa is a perfectly serviceable and mildly enjoyable family film about a kid who returns to Mexico to visit his cousins and his grandfather. And how he befriends a mythical chupacabra and has to keep it (and probably ET, The … Continue reading →

Super Mario Bros. Movie, The

Posted on April 6, 2023 by Joel Hilke

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a co-production between Nintendo and Illumination… probably with Nintendo having dictatorial creative control so Hollywood wouldn’t turn out something as off-brand as the 1993 live action Mario Brothers movie. So that means a dedicated, … Continue reading →

Air

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Joel Hilke

I care not a wit for basketball, Michael Jordan, Nike, or sneaker sales so it was up to everyone in front of the camera and behind the scenes to make me care about these topics… and they succeeded. Air is, … Continue reading →
