#TheRip #TheRipOnNetflix #TheRipNetflix - A perfectly serviceable police thriller, and not much else. It'll probably wind up one of the most forgotten films among the projects Damon & Affleck have appeared on screen together for.

A ★★★ review of The Rip (2026)
"The Rip" is a perfectly serviceable police thriller. I suppose for a Netflix Original being dropped onto the service in mid-January that it's better you might expect, but it never rises above a decen...

#28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple - Improves upon its predecessor in every way in an installment much more MY speed. More brutal and intense, at times reminding me of early 00s Torture Horror. Also knows it's cool to listen to Duran Duran with your dong out!

A ★★★½ review of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Finally, a movie that knows the simple pleasure of dancing to Duran Duran with your dong out! Six months ago we got "28 Years Later", a belated sequel to "28 Days Later" (sort of) that all but ignored...

#Pillion - A film about self-discovery of wants, needs, and limitations, and how that trek of self-discovery can be painful, even if the final destination winds up a tad better than where you started out from.

Not even once. Why rely on a plagiarized, probably inaccurate and incomplete summary of a bunch of different people's ideas, when you can go to a primary source?

#OneLastAdventure - A glorified Blu-ray extra, mediocre and self-congratulatory. Often boring, even if it showcases the impressive work from below-the-line crew. Most interesting when showcasing incompetence of Duffers as writers/directors.

#NoOtherChoice - Hilarious, but the humor never dulls the edge of the satire or the messaging, nor undercuts the genuine and touching emotion and pathos throughout. Incredibly visually impressive in shot composition as well.
