Dune 2021

★★★½ Watched 25 Oct 2021

Denis Villeneuve takes this story and breaks it down in a way that I can understand.
I've never read the book, but I watched the extended cut of Lynch's movie last year and I found it incomprehensible. Villeneuve strips down that same heady material and makes it relatable. He finds a way to reflect our world by streamlining many of it's concepts. Unfortunately he spends so much time finding ways for us to understand the material he forgets to make…

It's What's Inside 2024

★★★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2024

This is a really impressive juggling act.
I've got to give writer/director Greg Jardin massive props. At first I was a little apprehensive. I wonder why these characters were so broadly drawn. It put me off a little, but once Jardin starts spinning those plates all my preconceived notions went right over the balcony. I was glued to every caddy, backstabbing twist and turn.
It's not just the story that impressed me, it's how the story is told. It's complicated,…
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story 2024

★★★½ Watched 12 Dec 2024

I hope Will Reeve is hanging in there. The last remark he makes is heartbreaking, as is the whole documentary.

He seems like a genuinely good man who was a little rough around the edges going through a tough ordeal, who found a special someone who was willing to stand by his side. What…

Monkey Man 2024

★★★½ Watched 10 Apr 2024

Expectations can be a finicky thing. There's no denying Dev Patel made a quality picture, maybe a higher quality picture than I was expecting, but it's not the gonzo revenge vehicle that I wanted.
It starts becoming that movie at a certain point, after our hero gets fished out of some soupy water, delivering on the kitschy vibe that was promised to us, while adding some indie spirit into the mix. It's fun. That's what is missing from the first…
Thanksgiving 2023

★★½ Watched 20 Nov 2023

This isn't the grimy grindhouse experience that was teased in the fake trailer all those years ago, and it's only around half the slasher flick promised in the red band trailer. This is more in line with late-90's Scream imitators.
What made Eli Roth's Grindhouse trailer so memorable was how sick and depraved, and downright filthy it all seemed to be. What Roth gives us here, with the exception of a few key moments of knarliness, is a slick studio-sanctioned…
