Your Monster is a weird one. For one thing, it should be called My Monster <shakes tiny fist at uncaring universe>. But it’s also a horror/comedy… but no, it’s actually a horror/rom-com… even if I think the horror bit was … Continue reading
Bagman is a thread-bare premise draped lazily over alleged folklore from across time and cultures. Which was a bit of hubbaloo in the middle of a film that barely has a plot to begin with. It’s about a couple with … Continue reading
The Devil’s Bath is a long way around to tell an interesting bit of historical trivia. Could have gotten there quicker with a glance at a Wikipedia article… or thirty minute documentary. Or forty minutes less mopey wandering around in … Continue reading

Blame the Game is a Netflix comedy about a guy who goes to game night and actually plays games… unlike in the (much funnier) American film Game Night. Unfortunately, the insufferable game group makes fun of him for liking The … Continue reading
Space Cadet is a dumb movie and would have served itself better by totally committing to its “Police Academy only NASA” vibe. Instead, it’s a dumb movie that knows its dumb but should have either been 10% smarter or 10% … Continue reading
