The Evil Dead (1981, 2013) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Book of the Dead There aren't many horror films like this I actually enjoy. By all accounts, I shouldn't be enjoying this one. It has a lot of the tropes I really hate. Some dumb broad thinking it's a good idea to wander off into the woods by herself, in the … Continue reading The Evil Dead (1981, 2013) review
A Clockwork Orange (1971) film review
Rated: 4 / 5 It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you view them on the screen. Spoiler Warning This is one of the rare cases where I believe the filmmaker made the right decision removing the last chapter of the novel the film is based on for … Continue reading A Clockwork Orange (1971) film review
The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) and Pinocchio (1971) dual review
I couldn't... help myself. Watching the Disney film again made me curious about the other adaptations of Pinocchio. I heard the best one is this 6 episode miniseries Le avventure di Pinocchio (1972), but that's beyond my current capabilities because I don't understand Italian (and there doesn't seem to be any dubbed or subbed version … Continue reading The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) and Pinocchio (1971) dual review
Pinocchio (1940) review
Rated: 4.5 / 5 I may have to revise my top 50 films list after this. Yet another childhood film I haven't seen in a long time, only to fall in love with it all over against after all these decades. It's been a while since I've seen a film I thought was so good … Continue reading Pinocchio (1940) review
Alien (1979) analysis
Rated: 4 / 5 Wokeness: 1.5 / 5 This is a film I saw back in the day, well after I had seen and become a fan of its sequel Aliens (which is still my second favorite movie of all time). At the time I just thought this was a mediocre warmup to greatness, where … Continue reading Alien (1979) analysis
One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Wokeness: 1 / 5 Got the urge to rewatch this after around 15 years since the last time (man it's been so long since I've seen this movie). Pretty much because I heard about this new Cruella movie Disney is making, which I'm currently not interested in seeing, because I have … Continue reading One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) review

Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
2020 movie rated: Fuck You / 5 Wokeness: 3 / 5 These types of films can suck my nuts. The same bullshit they pulled with Masters of the Universe, Super Mario Bros., the Smurfs, the Chipmunks, and Rocky & Bullwinkle, they now pull with this film. That whole fucking trend of taking a classic (for … Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011) review
Full title is Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below. Rated: 3 / 5 There are times when I end up just watching some random anime out of the blue. If I had known this was going to be one of those CG animated flicks (that pretends to be hand-drawn, and actually does a … Continue reading Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011) review
