A movie that had a bunch of build, no payoff, and turned its heroes into villains in the last minute,
A movie so generic, I've already forgo--
Cop Movie Trops: The Movie,
And unadulterated insanity in bubble gum pink and teddy bears.

The hells of war laid uncomfortably bare,
Some fun pulp fiction,
Michael Crichton giving in to his worst indulgences,
And an otherwise effective documentary that is somtimes undermined by too much conjecture.

Hitchcock goes on vacation and makes a movie to cover for it
The Predator franchise continues its rebirth,
A charming parody of mob movies,
And proof that Cary Grant could be uncool, and yet still awesome.

All this talk of James Bond's producers fretting over how to continue the series when Bond definitively died at the end of the last movie ... people, there's an easy solution.

The value of the Bechdel test (which is none) becomes apparent when you realize amazing movies like Casablanca, The Godfather, Vertigo, and Toy Story don’t pass it, but Caged Heat does.

A movie I waited 35 years for,
An average erotic thriller that had ambitions it could never fulfill,
A fine but underwhelming story about cannibals,
And a dull, meandering, unnecessary sequel.

What happens when a movie tips its hand too soon,
Lipstick on the dead, rotting carcass of a pig,
A fun, silly reimagining of a cult classic,
And Samara Weaving keeps her modern screen queen crown.

An average wilderness survival horror movie,
Vincent Price goes all in on sinister,
An irresponsible puff-piece of a documentary,
And a disappointing haunted house movie that never pays off its vibes.

The blueprint for how to do legacy sequels,
A movie made by someone who doesn't understand metaphors aren't to be expressed literally,
One of Disney's most forgettable features,
And a simple, effective movie about serial killers and sharks.

A beautiful but emotionally barren remake,
William Castle's Temu Psycho,
Wes Craven tries and fails to make the Amish creepy,
And an interesting tonal mess from Castle.
Not a great week.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains
Only one? Could probably name half a dozen. “Slip” by Quicksand, “Dopes To Infinity” by Monster Magnet, “As Good As Dead” by Local H, “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?” by Oasis …

A true-crime show recreation scene turned into a movie,
A fine but forgettable Hitchcock silent movie,
War propaganda as prestige filmmaking,
And a good movie for unplugging the brain and having some fun.

Perfectly fine Oscar bait,
A dreary, repetitive movie,
A wretched insult to what low-budget comedy can accomplish,
And an average 90's neo-noir.

Our wish for the return of Jason Voorhees gets the monkey's paw treatment
A dry, fans-only documentary
A movie with a title that does not lie about its contents
And Hitchcock trying and failing to make a comedy.

A movie that was better than it should've been
A fun, if mindless, modern techo-thriller
And the movie-of-the-year candidate for most people that I only really liked.
