This was one of the most deranged things I’ve ever seen in a great way. Loved the whole thing.
100%
The Black Phone 8.5/10
I am not much of a horror watcher but really enjoyed this. It is basically the best Stephen King story thar King never wrote.
Wife and I have watched Black Phone twice already. That little girl is awesome. "You can't trust a girl that wants to grow up to marry Potzy!" And her nailing that kid with the rock is one of the most badass little girl moments in a movie in a long, long time.
I also enjoy the tension build up to the big ending. Great horror movie. Especially considering how much horror now is just cookie cutter bullshit.
I need to go looking for 'Everything Everywhere.' I've been desperately wanting to see it since I saw the first trailer, and had almost given up hope of seeing it. Now I see it's out on streaming, so hopefully this weekend. Fingers crossed.
I streamed it on Showtime, I think that’s the only place it’s free, otherwise it’s a rental. Worth it even for the $6 or whatever.
Yeah, that's a totally weak fantasy. I suppose it begs the question of what the most pedestrian thing you can successfully jerk it to is if nothing else.

Our Idiot Brother - steaming pile of Willie Nelson Shit / 10 Paul Rudd as a hapless idiot, not being funny even a little. How you hire Paul fuckin' Rudd to play a hapless idiot and manage to squeeze the funny out so thoroughly is beyond me. By rights this should have been a laugh a second. I think I mildly chuckled once or twice. It felt very much like the writers were trying to teach some form of lesson, and not very much like any of them had a clue they were writing a comedy. In fact, I'm not sure how this got categorized as a comedy. Apparently, it was just because it was Paul Rudd in the lead.
Would not recommend. (The dog's name is Willie Nelson. The rating is not my weird fetish. This time.)
The Host - at least 8/10, maybe more. I miss this level of fun in horror movies. Hollywood is so obsessed with making everything dark, gritty, or worse, some form of moral lesson, that they forget it's OK to have fun with horror. From the nearly cartoon villain beginning to the full-fledge cartoon level action with the monster itself? This was fun all the way through. I have never laughed so hard at such brutal kills. I want more horror like this.

You'll all probably hate it, but I really quite enjoyed it.
Went with my wife to see it. Had zero expectation for it. I just like looking at Margot Robbie. Was pleasantly surprised at it. There were some legit hilarious moments (the Ken dance scene was stupidly funny).

Enys Men - excessively boring for the sake of being "artsy"/10
Not nearly creepy enough for an hour and a half of nothing happening and two lines of dialogue in the whole film. I was hopeful of potential for the first 10 minutes. after a certain point I felt like I was too far to turn it off

Hollowpeen 2018. Second time I've seen it. It's an alright film. Since I broke my TV the other week, I had to buy a new tv. So I also decided to buy Halloween 2018, 2022, and Halloween ends.
Not seen the other two yet.

Just as big and dumb as the first movie. Great shut-off-brain movie. If you kept your brain engaged you'd spend half the movie arguing with it's physics fails and ocean fails, but meh. Big, dumb fun.
The Lie - 0/10 Imagine a movie with the worst acting you can possibly imagine, a plot dumber than you ever thought possible, and it still wouldn't be as bad as this piece of shit. I want to stab every single person who was involved in the making of this garbage.
I've seen it three times in the past week! It's really stuck with me and might be one of my new favorites.
It's a very slow-paced, avant-garde, psychedelic thriller/horror, with very long drawn-out scenes, strange imagery (the colors are all over the place), and ominous music and sounds. It's polarizing because some people might have trouble getting into it due to its pacing and general weirdness.
It's 1983 in a quiet mountain region, where a loving couple's lives are disturbed by a band of acid-head cultists. Nicholas Cage plays the lead character, doing his thing (I think he kicks ass), but the film would probably work just fine without him as well.
This film has also gotten me into King Crimson, and I can't stop listening to their album "Red."
I've watched it on Tubi with an adblocker but I like it so much I might just purchase it. Check it out if the vibe is late-night-after-party.
