Censor
I liked this movie… but I wish I liked it more. At the same time, I expect I would like it more on a rewatch since I’m sure there’s bits and bobs they seeded into the movie that I missed. … Continue reading

Holler
I kept thinking this movie shouldn’t work. It’s about desperate people who scrap the bones of their desperate town’s industrial corpse. It spends a fair amount of time focusing on the job of legally (and otherwise) taking apart the ruins … Continue reading

West Michigan
A fairly blind rental, largely based on the title (I’m from Michigan) and a promise of a short run time. I was fairly impressed by this personal, sensitive story. And it has some pretty landscapes of Lake Michigan and, well, … Continue reading

Godzilla vs. Kong
Godzilla vs. Kong is, if nothing else, better than the last entry in this monsterverse of movies. And I’d even go so far as to say it’s a hell of a lot of fun once it stops wasting time and … Continue reading
