Black Cab Review

This review was made possible by an advance screener of Black Cab. Black Cab premieres on Shudder on Friday, November 8th (my birthday!). When Anne (Synnøve Karlsen) and Patrick (Luke Norris) hail a black cab after a night out their driver (Nick Frost) is chatty, jovial even, but they are in no mood to talk. In fact, the couple is barely on speaking terms. That is, until they realize the … Continue reading Black Cab Review

Meat Me At The Double Meat Palace: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E12

Our episode kicks off with some exposition: Willow explains to Xander and Anya that Buffy was unable to catch Team Losers because they cleared out of their lair after the Slayer found out their identities. She and Willow managed to recover a slew of magical and technological items, but not the ne’er-do-wells themselves. Anya launches into a capitalistic rant, and this sees Buffy enter the … Continue reading Meat Me At The Double Meat Palace: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E12

It’s What’s Inside Review

Remember Bodies Bodies Bodies? The A24 romp about a gathering of entitled, rich Zoomers during a hurricane that ends poorly when the friends decide to play a game together? The new Netflix offering It’s What’s Inside certainly does. After an opening that focuses on two of the cast of characters–a couple, no less, showing all of the lessons learned from the aforementioned Bodies flick–It’s What’s … Continue reading It’s What’s Inside Review

Salaar (Part 1) Review

I am back on my Indian Cinema bullshit again this article with the recently-released-to-Netflix Telugu language hit, Salaar Part 1 – Ceasefire. I have to say that I love this new world of movies that RRR has opened up for me. While nothing has quite measured up to that entry itself for me, I recognize that that isn’t a necessarily fair comparison to most Bollywood/Tollywood/etc … Continue reading Salaar (Part 1) Review

Daddy’s Head Review

I really like when a movie can hit you with a powerful premise righty away. A quick hook to get you attached and held on. And, admittedly, some movies fail to really follow through with the promise of their initial grab, but it’s still something to keep you pondering as you watch. How will the flick resolve that early attention-getter? I bring this up because … Continue reading Daddy’s Head Review

The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari Review

When I started doing these Blast From The Past reviews, I did not intend for the series to be reviews from the DISTANT past! And while they haven’t all been, I’ve done several reviews now of movies that are in the area of one hundred years old! The Gold Rush and Nosferatu aren’t exactly the kind of movies that a lot of folks are checking … Continue reading The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari Review

Nosferatu (1922) Review

I’m not really sure how I feel about Robert Eggers yet. For transparency’s sake, I have not seen The Lighthouse, meaning I have missed out on a total of one-third of his filmography. I don’t really have anything against The Lighthouse, it just doesn’t sound like my kind of movie. I need a little bit more to my films than farting and masturbating. That’s what … Continue reading Nosferatu (1922) Review
