This account here for me to post my miniature film reviews. And sometimes interact with other people about moving pictures.

A ★★★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025)
I mean, you know if this is going to be your thing or not. Guillermo has a very distinctive style and themes he returns to again and again. The monstrous loner yearning for a way to connect with human...

Two Kathryn Bigelow joints, an underrated Noir and a short film about a vampire nurse.

A short film about a vampire that has some Ganga and Hess in its DNA. So much world building in such a short amount of time that begs to be expanded into feature length.

A ★★★★ review of Suicide by Sunlight (2019)
This is a short film about a vampire nurse. That is, a nurse who is also a vampire. There’s a surprising amount of information imparted in the 17 minute runtime. Our vampire nurse uses her powers to h...

The general consensus about this B-picture Noir is lukewarm but I think it’s just fantastic.

Shout out to my boy @rflixtv.bsky.social who hipped me to a Western where Sterling Hayden goes into a QuickDraw gunfight with a harpoon!

A ★★★★½ review of Terror in a Texas Town (1958)
Terror in a Texas Town begins with the money shot: the familiar quick draw shootout in the town square with a man in black in the foreground, hand itching to draw his gun. In the background is his opp...

A legacy sequel, a bonafide sci-fi classic, a pre-code wronged woman and a mangled would-be great picture.

Is she crazy or did everything in the film’s runtime actually happen!?

Randolph Scott was insanely handsome but Cary Grant was handsome and had the charisma of a Greek god.

A ★★★★½ review of Hot Saturday (1932)
Hot Saturday is one of the movies I watched from a pre-Hays Code set of DVDs from Universal Studios. It’s the story of an unmarried career woman played by Nancy Carroll who has to politely rebuff adva...

A ★★★★½ review of Eerie Tales (1919)
Anthology Horror Films are one of my favorite subgenres. Throw a couple of tight, streamlined twist-ending stories with decent jumpscares together with a loosely applicable bookend and you have the fi...

A ★★★ review of Flatliners (2017)
I am an unabashed, hardcore lover of the original Flatliners. It is a glorious example of style over substance. Just beautiful A-listers from the 80s lensed in gothic surroundings delving into the unk...

Reviewing a movie as influential and well-known as Taxi Driver is a no-win scenario. You can’t say anything new about it that a million college papers haven’t already. You can not like it, but you can...
