V for Vengeance is a B grade action/horror flick about a pair of vampire sisters who learn their (human) sister is still alive and go on a rescue mission to save her. It’s a low-down dirty shame that this little … Continue reading
Mr. Malcolm is a decent movie of its type… that type being an overly mannered romantic comedy of pointless rich layabouts who talk coyly and slyly while idling in drawing rooms and country manors. You know, a knock-off Jane Austen. … Continue reading
Press Play is a decent, low-stakes romantic time travel story. It’s a low-investment fairly short film that may appeal to the romantic in you and may slightly appeal to sci-fi fans. A little bit. The film is about a girl … Continue reading
This new Netflix interpretation of Dangerous Liaisons is the who-knows-how-many-eth adaptation of a book I’ve never read. I have seen the big US release from 1988 and the “modern” reinterpretation Cruel Intentions (I can change/I can change/I can change) but … Continue reading

Hello, Goodbye, and Everything In Between (which has an Oxford Comma, Letterboxd… just sayin’) is a teen romance featuring two pretty bland teens who fall in like over the summer before college. She’s not so much into long-term, he’s very … Continue reading
I’m quite mixed on this heady sci-fi drama. On the one hand, it’s what I technically want in smart semi-realistic science fiction: big ideas and brains over blasters. But this film makes a bad ethical argument and does it very, … Continue reading
