Barry Lyndon is Stanley Kubrick’s best movie. It’s not my favorite. But it is his best. I won’t be taking questions.

Book mail. Wow are these gorgeous. #horror #horrorfiction #paultremblay

This was the biggest surprise of 2025. It’s as if Tim Burton and Jean-Pierre Jeunet collaborated on a remake of Besson’s Leon The Professional and added a hecty portion of The Babadook, only even more fun and insane than that. An absolute winner.

I’ve enjoyed most of my viewing of Star Trek: The Next Generation so far, but one episode of the Second Season makes reference to “subatomic bacteria” and I’m doing my best to not go into conniption fits.

Shelby Oaks, Chris Stuckman's first feature, is an atmospheric, creepy little gem that seems just right for the Halloween season. While not a great movie, it does a lot well, and made me think of Charles L.She Grant's Oxrun Station novels in its blend of horror set pieces and interesting characters.

Finally watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’ve always avoided anything that wasn’t the original series, for myriad reasons, and had my arguments for why no other iteration could possibly be worthwhile. Nine episodes in, and I’m digging it far more than I thought I would.
