The Lodge is riding on the wave of "high-brow horror" that movies like Hereditary, Get Out, and It Follows have created. But it is an impostor. It does not belong on that wave. It is hiding under a beautiful mask, but if you peel that off, what's left is a pretentious mess that has no … Continue reading “The Lodge” Makes Me Angry – Movie Review
Uh oh! Looks like we've got a big ol' slice of Fun on a Bun here! Courtesy of our good pal Rian Johnson. It is a wickedly fun and devilishly clever take on the whodunnit genre that is also a pretty sophisticated social commentary! But don't let that last part scare you, you can take … Continue reading Knives Out – Movie Review
The Irishman is a long-as-hell gangster movie, and I really didn't want to watch it. Even though it was a Scorsese flick, and I've loved every movie of his that I've seen, I really didn't want to watch a 3 1/2 hour movie that didn't look much different from the other gangster movies I've seen. … Continue reading The Irishman – Movie Review
My friend and I walked into our Thursday night screening of Frozen II with grand expectations. The brilliant trailers promised an epic story with a darker tone and plenty of mystery.

But after a montage of stock footage women doing inspiring shit to stick it to the man, I kind of got the feeling that I was not welcome. I felt like Elizabeth Banks was shaking her head disapprovingly at all boymen … Continue reading Charlie’s Angels (2019) – Movie Review

They gave a certain character one hell of a “dark fate” during the first five minutes of the movie that is equivalent to James Cameron taking a piss on a DVD copy of T-2 while flipping the fans off and doing … Continue reading Terminator: Dark Fate – Movie Review
The Lighthouse feels like an even weirder version of The Shining. And that's a very good thing. Like The Shining, The Lighthouse is a hypnotic and beautiful maze of a movie. It gives you so many different paths you can take on what the movie is about, but no single explanation feels less valid than … Continue reading The Lighthouse – Movie Review
Parasite is a flippin good flick with a capital F. Picture a good movie in your head. I’ll wait. You got it? Ok. It’s better than that probably. You’re most likely thinking to yourself: “No way it’s better than G-Force”. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is. Parasite is a Korean film about … Continue reading Parasite – Movie Review
I've been slacking when it comes to movie reviews, so I'm just going to do 6 Even-Quicker Thoughts about some more movies I've seen. Ad Astra Ad Astra is a Brad Pitt space-flick that has a lot of really cool ideas, but it doesn't fully explore any of them and has an unbelievably underwhelming third … Continue reading Movie Review 6-Pack (Zombieland 2, Maleficent 2, The Addams Family, and 3 More!)
At first I was sad that I didn't get the chance to see Midsommar in theaters. I didn't see Hereditary in theaters, but I really liked it and I was excited to see what director Ari Aster would do next. Then I saw the movie. In the end, I am really happy that I got … Continue reading Midsommar – Quick Thoughts
