finished Alex Garland's Civil War.

What was up with the marketing for this movie? It's like a horror film following war journalists and the sickness of violence, not a political warning war film.

Few people write tense scenes that can make my skin crawl the way Garland can.

Catching up on some 2025 releases, checked out the A24 film Warfare.

I appreciated the completely earnest and immersive depiction of one operation gone bad.

No score and no glorification/heroism/characterization to be found.

A tense experience is all you'll get.

Revisited John Carpenter's Vampires. Forget the undead bloodsuckers. The misogyny is the actual scary thing.

John Woo's Bullet in the Head shook me up. So dark but heartfelt and moving. His "most personal film" and considered by many to be his best.

New podcast episode on this madcap action, crime, war, and drama film -- yes all of that -- out now.

Prince of Darkness sounds like an Ozzy Osbourne biopic but is a #horror film dear to many John Carpenter fans.

Satan spreads like bacteria and mirrors like portals to hell.

In the Mouth of Madness's warnings about the power of media and the folly of following feel quite timely.

Is this the best John Carpenter movie from the 1990s and 2000s? New podcast episode exploring this movie below:

John Carpenter's Christine is an odd one -- many in the Carpenter fanbase rank it among his very best, but I think it's just OK.

Can anyone explain to me what I could be missing here?

"Never make this today" gets tossed around like water, but Paul Verhoeven's (RoboCop) Flesh and Blood would NEVER happen now.

Not a single redeemable character...and I loved it!

Oh, what John Carpenter could do with $100,000 and creative control!

Assault on Precinct 13 continues my John Carpenter series.

With all this faltering trust in authority lately, perfect time to revisit Escape From New York. Maybe a real-life Snake Plissken is brewing in this chaos.

It's the crack of fall and no better time to revisit #horror master John Carpenter. First up -- The Fog.

Feel like this small-town ghost story could be called I know What You Did Last 100 Years Ago

Gangster films King of New York and New Jack City hit theaters just six months apart and both have Wesley Snipes.

But in a movie battle, which one comes out on top?

Subway is odd, not quite David Lynch weird, but poppy and awesome.

If only my city's public transit had designer labyrinths and pockets of subway-dwelling hippies to hang with!

Silverado is an enjoyable, throwback western with all the old tropes. But it has one captivating relationship you would never expect and wish they had taken all the way to romance.

🤔I don't quite know what happened in The Shooting, and I like it more because of that. That's a hard trick to pull off!

Fortress '92 is goofy sci-fi action, but corporate-controlled prisons feel relevant to our time.

And I'm pretty sure I'll think about the "intestinators" anytime I have a stomach ache in the future.

Rolling Thunder made test audiences try to physically assault the film executives

It's a solid revenge movie, but I wonder what could have been if it stuck to Paul Schrader's (Taxi Driver) script

Runaway Train is somewhat like a lost Kurosawa movie and the only "philosophical" action thriller I've heard of. This #1980s movie regularly makes those "so underrated" lists people make for good reason
