One Thing I Like About Toy Story 5
Toy Story 5 did all the right things but still didn’t resonate with me. But it has so many different kinds of horses!
Exhuma, or, 8 Feet in the Grave
The hit Korean horror/thriller movie is exceptional and unrelentingly twisty and expansive (No significant spoilers)
The Wicker Man, or, I Love It When a Plan Comes Together
The almost-musical folk horror classic is weird and unique and so close to perfect. (Spoilers)
I Wish People Got Fairly Compensated
The media is telling a fairy tale about scrappy young indies hitting it big, even though the happier ending isn’t even all that fantastic.
Masters of the Universe, or, He/Him-Man
Masters of the Universe is loud and dumb and colorful and doesn’t need to exist. (Spoilers, I guess?)
Why Mark Duplass, Though?
A short (I promise) tangent about the Backrooms movie and the ripple effects that result from adapting a story. (Spoilers)
One Thing I Like About Backrooms
Backrooms is like if you explained creepypasta to a production company that didn’t know what it was, and then asked them to make a movie of it
Deep Red, or, Butterflies, Termites, and Zebras
Dario Argento’s giallo classic probably plays well for people who can appreciate style for its own sake
The City of the Dead/Horror Hotel, or, Read the room, Nan
A fun and atmospheric horror movie from the 1960s that might be of interest to fans of Widow’s Bay. (No significant spoilers)
One Thing I Like About The Mandalorian and Grogu
The not-quite blockbuster summer release isn’t what I’d expected, by going all in on Star Wars weirdness and being a celebration of the artists that have brought the movies and shows to the screen
Police Story 2, or, Hot Model Surveillance Team Go!
The sequel to Police Story is often weird and charming, but also feels unsettlingly like it’s trying to be something it’s not
Police Story, or, Keystone Copaganda
The first movie in Jackie Chan’s franchise about a cop who doesn’t play by the rules is corny, dated, and undeniably a classic of Hong Kong action cinema
