  • Meatballs 4: To the Rescue

    Meatballs 4: To the Rescue 1992

    ★★★½ Rewatched 17 Nov 2019 2

    I wonder if Marty Scorsese would consider this cinema? Personally I do, because I remember seeing it on the big screen at the old Granville 7 in Vancouver back in 1992. Before the days of IMDb, and when we only had resources like Leonard Maltin's annual Movie and Video Guide, I remember how much in denial my friends were that a Meatballs 4 even existed. Now, "to the rescue" we have a serviceable amount of mostly negative Letterboxd reviews as…

  • The Wolf of Wall Street

    The Wolf of Wall Street 2013

    ★★★★★ Watched 17 Jan 2014

    Scorsese hasn't lost his potency. The Wolf of Wall Street is like a vintage Quaalude that's been bottled for twenty years. You take it with a smile on your face, and, as it overtakes your senses completely, you find yourself dumb and giddy with surprise that a venerable filmmaker has just hit you with a rush of cinematic XTC that you would have expected from a younger, hipper filmmaker--a newer kid on the block. Scorsese directs like he's 24 again…

  • Abducted

    Abducted 1986

    ★★★ Watched 11 Jan 2025

    Unexpectedly melancholy mid-eighties Canuxploitation is rather tame for rape/revenge pics of the period. Its sorry lack of nudity is an issue that likely contributed to its obscurity and lack of fan discourse. A nice 2K restoration brings out the lush wilderness setting and impressive audio design, breathing new life into a neglected genre piece. Always a fan of the late Dan Haggerty, who's definitely playing on familiar turf.

  • Halloween Ends

    Halloween Ends 2022

    ★★★½ Rewatched 07 Jan 2025

    The Night Psychosexual Repression Came Home

    Pumping score by "The Carpenters" just kills as Michael and his bullied protégé stalk 'n slash their way through a Haddonfield that's very Gummo.

  • Wonka

    Wonka 2023

    ★ Watched 10 Dec 2023 14

    Warning: another holiday turkey is headed your way from the soulless studio assembly line. This beast takes the familiar form of a shallow dystopian Hollywood cheesefest, and one that isn't from Disney this time. So we can already forget crediting Warner Bros. with stepping up to fill the cinematic void that looms large over the holiday season because this is tasteless, hollow, and generic as a Kinder Egg.

    Gene Wilder gave Willy Wonka a certain callous and subtle menace while…

  • Sabotage

    Sabotage 2014

    ★★★★½ Watched 08 Jul 2014 15

    Blissfully gritty and violent combination of pulp action and neo noir. It's the strongest in a string of distinguished work since Schwarzenegger has returned to movies. This is David Ayer's uncompromising reaction to The Expendables and it's not for wimps. Olivia Williams and Mireille Enos turn in gender-defying performances as the hard-boiled women trapped in this nightmare of throbbing, reckless machismo.
