Rated: 4 / 5 "He deserved to die. They all deserve to die." A game that gets more depressing the more you get into it. Looking into the details and story with each playthrough, catching onto more subtle details. A game where you are pitted against your own family, brainwashed into being this way via … Continue reading F.E.A.R. (2005), thoughts

Audition (1999) thoughts
Rated: 3.5/5 When it comes right down to it, this film is more relevant than ever. How the main protagonist Aoyama wants to remarry, and find the ideal woman to be his wife. And he has the luxury of being able to have an audition for a film role cast primarily so he can find … Continue reading Audition (1999) thoughts
Magic (1978) and Pin (1988) brief thoughts
Both films rated: 2.5 / 5 These types of movies suffer from the exact same problem, at least as far as my personal enjoyment goes. They're both about a socially awkward guy, bordering on crazy, who has talent to some degree; more-so in Magic, since the guy is as good a magician as he is … Continue reading Magic (1978) and Pin (1988) brief thoughts
Spontaneous Combustion (1990) brief thoughts
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So there was studio meddling with this film. A rough cut exists that's, well, rough. Unfinished special effects, not all shots are in it that should be (a few of which made it into the theatrical cut), but it is a more cohesive vision. In particular, the film clearly becomes something … Continue reading Spontaneous Combustion (1990) brief thoughts

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

Creature features, films about animals we are familiar with that really exist, except they are put in scenarios that are terrifying to the average civilian. Or they become supersized.

It Comes at Night, and The Adventures of the American Rabbit dual review
So some bad news and good news first. The bad news, I got fired from my full-time job. The good news, I can blog more. And I wanted to do 2 films, not because of the special occasion, but because one of these films is so damn bleak that I needed something ridiculously cheery to … Continue reading It Comes at Night, and The Adventures of the American Rabbit dual review
The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review
Nah, I'm just screwin' with yah. Bet you didn't know a 1998 version existed did ya? Here's the actual poster for the movie I'm reviewing. Rating: 3/5 Still not a big fan of posters that just show cast members (usually their faces, sometimes full body if you're lucky), and this seems to be a decent … Continue reading The Magnificent Seven (2016) Review
