“Ooohhh! … Oh. I have, yes.”

Short movie review #22: Predator 2
It’s the 90s. Cars stop bullets. The Uzi is king. Laser sights for everyone and every baddie is a special, kill-happy snowflake

Short movie review #21: Weapons
2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for horror/thriller/spook-laden classics. First, Sinners reminded me of just how much emotion can be elicited by a choice piece of music…

Short movie review #19: Final Destination: Bloodlines
Can we give these sound designers an Oscar? Do goofy horror movies qualify for awards? Every. Single. Seemingly insignificant piece of foley has the production quality of a symphony

Short movie review #17: Fountain of Youth
An adventure caper starring Natalie Portman, John Krasinski, Domhnall Gleeson, Eiza Gonzalez, Stanley Tucci, Laz Alonso …etc… directed by Guy Richie? It can't fail!

Hot take:
Let's completely forget that Uncharted movie
Clean slate. Fewer Walbergs and more glorious moustaches. Nolan North and Emily Rose reprise their roles. We follow a new generation of treasure hunters, led by the younger Ms Drake
Tom Holland can come along
