Concise film reviews (mostly). Watching a lot of bad films so you don't have to.
🎬 Ehhh it’s entertaining but nothing special. Olivia Holt does a solid job and has decent chemistry with the romantic lead dude. It’s funny but not lol funny. Honestly the odds of anything ever overthrowing Tucker and Dale for horror comedy is slim.

🎬 This is an early 1960’s drive in creature feature and all that entails, masquerading as a late 70’s film. In other words - awful. The monster is only truly seen in the last few minutes. It’s a giant black turd with googley eyes.

🎬 Harrison Ford is probably the best actor in this pilot for a series that wasn’t picked up. Can’t imagine why - I mean the possession didn’t happen until 6 minutes left and was dealt with in about 2 minutes. PJ Soles is in it a bit as a cute high schooler.

🎬 Sterile, vapid and cold with needless CGI, like a lot of recent films. It’s a masterclass in everything wrong with recent filmmaking. I could go on awhile pointing out the areas of wrongness, but it’s all encompassing. Script, acting, directing, lighting, overuse of CGI, pacing… all of it.

🎬 A decidedly B movie that punches way above it’s weight due to the sheer talent involved. Joel Schumacher did a great job and really elevates this script. The design is very Burton Batman with a gothic Metropolis inspired main location - so I get why they thought he would be a good fit.

🎬 Excellent film that doesn’t waste one second of the 2:20 runtime. I’m not really a Tim Robbins fan but he does a wonderful job here. Really don’t have a single negative thing to say. It still currently sits as the highest rated film on IMdB. The greatest film ever? Nah. But it was fantastic.

🎬 What a strange documentary. Apparently Friedkin filmed a real exorcism - which was corny and kind of boring. Strikes me as strange a demon or Satan would just kind of annoy people and yell at priests rather than showing real power. What would be the point? Seems like a load of bunk.
