As a quick catch-up: I watched 113 movies that came out in 2023, and I’m counting down my Top 50, all of which fall into my “Definite Recommends” category. We’ve done #50-41 (click HERE for that), #40-31 (click HERE), and #30-21 (HERE). So we are into the teens! That’s not what I want to talk about, though. In 2022, I set a goal for myself … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11
Okay, we are through #50-31, and it’s time to keep going with this countdown! It’s the middle of the list, and it’s here that we move out of “Very Good” (my 3.25 – 3.5 star territory) and into the start of the “Great” (3.75 – 4.00 star) 2023 movies. I’ll let you know which movie signifies that change, don’t worry. And if you’ve missed the … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #30-21
It’s round two! As I continue to countdown the Top 50 (out of 112) movies that came out in 2023–that is, every movie I would say I recommend fairly strongly–we are out of the 40’s and into the 30’s. Let’s get right into it! (Unless you want to relive where this list started with #50-41, then click HERE) 40. Missing Missing is the quasi-sequel, half-follow-up … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #40-31
Happy Halloween! It’s wild that it took me so long to get here, but Nightmare On Elm Street is not like Halloween or Friday the 13th as far as rewatching over the course of my life. There are several Nightmare movies I have only ever seen twice… and the second watch was just within the last year! For whatever reason, I have never held this … Continue reading Nightmare On Elm St Franchise Ranking
Ghost Train from The Slaughterhouse Stories is here with Stew to get into the Halloween spirit and talk monsters and blood! It’s the MCU’s first really big risk since Phase 1: Werewolf By Night! For more from The Slaughterhouse Stories, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 80: Werewolf By Night
Happy Friday The 13th everyone! After the absolutely wonderful 1970’s and 1980’s, horror as a genre went on a pretty steep slide. The 1990’s were fine, but things started getting a bit generic and derivative. We began the decade with some really low-end slasher sequelss to still capitalize from what was big in the 80’s, but those faded quickly. Some meta genre-bending hit in the … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Top Ten Horror Movies of the 2020’s
NOTE: Light spoilers for The Blackening! With The Blackening on June 16th, I have hit 50 new release movies seen so far this year! Well on my way to 100, my target for the year. This is after I blew right through my goal of 300 movies total in 2022! Movie-watching goals are fun and are in no way weirdly obsessive or time-consuming or distracting … Continue reading The Blackening Review
NOTE: This article will contain some light spoiler material for The Boogeyman Based on an older short story by Stephen King! Actually, the way this flick was first advertised, I thought this was maybe a new plot from Stephen King–I was sure he was not the screenwriter–but upon further research, it is actually based on a previous work of his, published in Night Shift way … Continue reading The Boogeyman Review
NOTE: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR SOME BASIC STORY ELEMENTS HERE, BUT NOTHING TOO REVEAL-RELATED OR INVOLVING WHO SURVIVES/DIES. I was a really big fan of Scream 5, though I do not think I wrote a full review on it last year when it came out. It had problems–it’s not like I had it as an 8/10 or higher or anything–but it was solidly at … Continue reading Scream 6 Review
Me, about six hours ago: Well, I want to do more full movie reviews in 2023, so I’m going to see that snazzy looking new horror flick M3GAN, and afterwards, I’ll be able to write a review on it. Also me, as I walked out of M3GAN an hour ago: I have no fucking idea what I’m going to say about this movie because I … Continue reading M3GAN: Kind Of A Review?
A bit predictable, but maybe that’s from seeing a lot of Anime in my life. Beautifully (and frightfully) animated from top notch studio Project I. G. (They do most of the Ghost in the Shell stuff), “Housing Complex C” tells the tale of an apartment complex where several seniors and a few families reside. There’s a girl named Kimi, who lives with her mother. All … Continue reading Housing Complex C (from Adult Swim)
Ten months. Two-hundred and Seventy-five movies on the year. At my current pace, I’ll smash past my goal of 300 in the year before November is over. Wow! And I’ll tell you what: I really need this. Because I’m going to have to do a lot of work in December to prep for the first few months of 2023. I’m trying some new articles for … Continue reading October 2022 Movie Log
So to the surprise of no one who is aware that the Stew World Order podcast exists, my absolute favorite genre of movie is “Comic Book”. I have yet to get tired of seeing these amazing properties and ideas that I loved in my most formative years get turned into blockbuster epics with fantastic effects and A-list actors. But a very close second for me … Continue reading Top Ten Horror-Comedies
The original Halloween movie is very sneakily probably the movie I have seen more than any other. It seems weird, but I watched it a lot as a kid, and even as an adult I watch it with some regularity during the Halloween season. So usually at least once more with each passing year. Every fall, the leaves change, the weather gets colder, and I … Continue reading Ranking The Halloween Movies
If I’m not careful, I’m going to trick myself into loving this movie. My inner nihilist kind of looks at what Halloween Ends did (Oh ho ho, I almost said “accomplished”, and that would be a lie), and thinks “Oh my god, this movie just flipped off the whole world, AND I AM HERE FOR IT”. But the problem with that is that it implies … Continue reading Halloween Ends Review
