Control Freak
Control Freak is a film padded out from a short film (which I haven’t seen). It feels like a lot of wheel spinning and time wasting in order to get to whatever point the short got to. I found it … Continue reading

Bloat
There’s a joke somewhere about the title of this film and how it starts strong but falls apart by the end. It’s an easy one too… this screen life flick is awfully… bloated. Har-de-har-har. Anyhow, Bloat is about a military … Continue reading

Bayou, The
The Bayou is not a good movie… but its got a curious level of competency AND incompetency that makes it a bit of low rent trashy fun. I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s weirdly amusing. It’s about a small … Continue reading

Monkey, The
The Monkey is an adaptation of an early Stephen King short story that, perhaps, would be a little silly to produce today. So they didn’t take it seriously… and I’m not sure how obvious that is from the trailer. But … Continue reading

Into the Deep
Into the Deep is another entry in the direct-to-streaming cheap shark movie club… but a little different and a touch better. It’s about a woman who had a traumatic incident with a shark as a child who is now on … Continue reading

Wolf Man (2025)
As Old Deuteronomy didn’t say in the non-existent musical Dogs, “A wolf man is not a werewolf”. Which is something I had to drill into my brain while watching the otherwise cool new Wolf Man movie. A flick I genuinely … Continue reading

Damned, The (2024)
The Damned is a movie that proves my whole theory: being a fisherman in 18th century Iceland would suck. Maybe a little more than sitting through this drudgery of a movie, but the flick doesn’t have me tap-dancing across the … Continue reading
