Room 203
Room 203 is a horror show that – like many others – leans on the crutch of dark room = scary and then forgets to be scary. I shudder to think what these filmmakers would do if anyone turned on … Continue reading

Dangerous Liaisons (2022)
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

Bob’s Burgers Movies, The
Yeah, my initial instincts were right: I shouldn’t have bothered. I’ve seen Bob’s Burgers a handful of times and could identify the main characters if ordered to by an irate Gestapo agent. But I didn’t think there was any need … Continue reading

It’s not original to have a found footage film with an unlikable main character. It is a bit of a surprise when the unlikable main character is an anti-vax, anti-mask type that gets her jollies harassing workers for following policy … Continue reading

Memory
The latest Liam Neeson joint is just mind-numbingly, bone-crushingly, thumb-screwingly boring. Just a long slog of tedium… in a movie that think its has something to say and wants to be this serious-minded criminal investigation flick. And a hit-man with … Continue reading

Chariot
Well, Chariot’s a movie. It has a beginning, middle, and end… I think. Probably. It’s certainly abstract and weird… you might even charitably say its Lynchian. It sure is something… but I’m not convinced its anything at the same time. … Continue reading

Wyrmwood: Apocalypse
Wyrmwood: Apocalypse is the sequel to 2014’s Wyrmood: Road of the Dead, an Australian zombie flick I only have the vaguest memories of. I remember it having a distinct look and feel with a touch of a Mad Max vibe … Continue reading
