All Quiet on the Western Front
I didn’t learn much about WWI in school, but when I was in Belgium I visited some of the trenches and graves from it. Absolutely devastating and utterly pointless. The juxtaposition of the leadership and negotiators against the poor beleaguered soldiers was grim. Let everyone who has declared a war or sent soldiers to die suffer.
All You Need is Kill
It’s rare that two adaptations of a book can be fun and unique. Killer animation.
Mortal Kombat
It’s weird to know Kano primarily from St. Denis.
Hokum
The witch would’ve liked him if he wasn’t such an ass.
Napa Boys
Those damn Napa boys.
Dead Man’s Wire
Should’ve been Stavvy
How to Make a Killing
TFW there are no consequences other than losing your soul for murdering a bunch of terrible people.
Exit 8
Trapped in a maze of fatherhood.
Faces of Death
When I was in high school, the movie that inspired this was a sleepover rumor of which everyone claimed to have a friend who saw it. I’ve never seen the whole thing, because even as a morbidly fascinated youth, I figured it wasn’t a great plan. This ruled.
Project Hail Mary
Entirely too cutesy, BUT it was also funny, entertaining, and made me laugh.
Send Help
Castaway but weirder and wilder.
War Machine
Schlock, but still fun.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die
A mess but mostly ok.
Cold Storage
Serviceable with kinda fun set pieces.
The Housemaid
Absolutely bizarre but predictable. So many very abusive partners out there but they’re not clever, the world just hates women.
Return to Silent Hill
Even by video game standards this was baaaad
Die My Love
Nick. Nolte. White. Sketchers.
Sentimental Value
The marble hallway! God. I would’ve thought an acclaimed filmmaker would have more taste
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Second-best in the franchise.
Movern Caller
Can you put a price on emotional trauma? Sure: 100,000£
Marty Supreme
Wow. The music propels this, but the absolutely stellar asshole performance by little Timmy Chalet was spectacular.
Hard Boiled
Still rips
No Other Choice
Embracing the AI future.
Pillion
A new Christmas classic.
Mercy
Rory, what have we watched?
We Bury the Dead
Tooth-grinding zombies is innovative
