The Anomalous Host Film Reviews, Series , , , , , , ,

Rated: 4 / 5 One of the few shows out there that managed to maintain being consistent in quality throughout its existence. It's a show I never appreciated as much as I should've.

Rated: 2.5 / 5 Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdC_YMvYZyI One of those films … Continue reading Matilda (1996) review

The Evil Dead (1981, 2013) review

The Anomalous Host Film Reviews , , , , , , , ,

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.

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
