So this particular dual review I'm doing at the behest of the 2 guys running the Slaughterfilm podcast. I got them to review a few of my recommendations in the past, so today I'm going to return the favor. They asked me to review Combat Shock (aka American Nightmares) from Troma films (likely the only … Continue reading Combat Shock and They Live dual review

Mermaids (1990) review
Rated: 3/5 "Sometimes I feel like you're the child and I'm the grown up." "You know, sometimes being a mother really stinks. I don't always know what I'm doing. It's not like you and your sister came with a book of instructions. You know, if I can help you, tell me. I'll give it my … Continue reading Mermaids (1990) review
The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) review
Rated: 3/5 "Everybody knows us, because everybody uses us." No, that line isn't from a film about hookers. It's more innocent than that. The line is from a film about elementary to middle-school to junior high-school aged girls who run the Baby-Sitters Club. A club that takes phone calls from anyone in town who needs … Continue reading The Baby-Sitters Club (1995) review
Detroit review and discussion of Hollywood’s portrayal of racism over the years
Rated: 3/5* * = with caveats, especially with dialogue that self-references the year. "Helloooo? This is 1967! I can do whatever I want!" Introduction ... ... ... Ok, so this movie. I had reservations going in. But there are times where I get sick and tired of being on edge, of having such a high … Continue reading Detroit review and discussion of Hollywood’s portrayal of racism over the years
Atomic Blonde and The Blood of Heroes dual review, and a discussion on female empowerment
Rated: 2/5 Cocksucker? Really? It was convincing wasn't it? So I must confess, Atomic Blonde is a film that I initially didn't have any interest in. That is, until I saw this little parody via Steven Crowder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD3TSrfwJgE Now for the record, prior to watching the film, I assumed he was just exaggerating with … Continue reading Atomic Blonde and The Blood of Heroes dual review, and a discussion on female empowerment
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets review
Rated 3/5 Eh, this movie is just ok. It's entertaining enough and all, it looks great, but it's not something all that memorable to me. But it does make me interested in checking out the comic series Valerian and Laureline (started all the way back in 1967, and ended in 2010). I haven't read the … Continue reading Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets review
Dunkirk review
Rated: 3/5 This is one of a very few select theatrical films coming out this year that I've been eager to see. The number of films I'm willing to shell out money for (let alone time) has been dwindling over the past couple years, and this year has accelerated that trend for me. Christopher Nolan … Continue reading Dunkirk review
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
