I had my political differences with Dick Cheney, but in person I found him warm, funny, a gracious host and surprisingly knowledgeable about music. Seeing The Jesus Lizard with him in 2009 was a blast, and he didn't hesitate to wade into the pit despite a few sidelong glances.

The Surrender ‐ 3.5 / 5
Shudder - 2025
A good movie and very well executed although you have to accept an extremely flawed conceit to get there. The mother is one of the most baffling characters I've seen, and her motivations are completely inscrutable.

Here For Blood - 3.75 / 5

Well executed deliberately silly horror movie. Not as good as Psycho Goreman, but better than most other attempts at this genre. The elbow drop scene is hysterical and probably what I'll remember forever about this one.

They Call Her Death (Shudder 2024) — 4 / 5
