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
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
Inherit The Witch will be available on Digital Download in the US from 24th September. In 1984 a family throws a 14th-birthday party. 30 years later they re-unite at two isolated houses in a forest where horrific truths are uncovered about the family’s occult pact with an ancient evil that’s enabled their wealth and power. Outside of Robert Eggers’ The VVitch, I haven’t seen too … Continue reading Inherit The Witch Review

The Killer’s Game is the new action vehicle starring former WWE legend Dave Bautista. It opened at #6 and is not looking to set the box office on fire, but opening weekend grosses are not always a true mark of how high of quality a film may or may not be. So let’s take a look at The Beast’s newest offering! In the movie, Big … Continue reading The Killer’s Game Review
Rebel Ridge, the new Netflix movie, is directed by the same guy who made Patrick Stewart a Nazi! Jeremy Saulnier was also the director of 2015’s Green Room, an intense movie about a punk band being held captive by a cadre of Neo-Nazis after a show. And Patrick Stewart was the ringleader of the villains! If you have never checked it out, I definitely recommend … Continue reading Rebel Ridge Review

And we are back at it! As noted previously, I ended up watching 111 new release movies from the beginning on through the end of 2024. It was far more than I thought I was going to get completed, even late in the year when I was keeping track and felt so far off my pace of 113 in 2023. But I pushed through and … Continue reading Top Thirty Movies Of 2024: #20-11
Sometimes it’s harder to figure out when a movie actually released than it should be. When I’m looking at a movie and trying to figure out what year it came out in, especially as of these last few years–I do a lot of Best Of lists and keep tally of where the flicks I watch belong–too often the “release date” can be frustratingly inaccurate. Especially … Continue reading The Sacrifice Game Review
I’ve seen two movies this weekend that WEREN’T Godzilla Minus One, and both left me wishing I had seen Godzilla Minus One instead. The first was Silent Night, which I saw on a whim based on what time it was showing at the theater. The other was this, Dream Scenario, movie I’d been looking forward to for weeks. How did it let me down? Well, … Continue reading Dream Scenario Review
From the producers of The Gallows, SCREAMBOX Exclusive Night of the Missing streams on November 28. The horror anthology features genre favorites Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects) and Jenna Kanell (Terrifier). Anthology movies are often quite fun! Horror anthologies usually remind me of Trick R Treat, the cult classic antho from the late 00’s starring Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, and others. It’s one of the … Continue reading The Night Of The Missing Review
I hate waiting for good movies. Nothing is worse than seeing a trailer for something, knowing instantly that you want to see it, then having to wait months for the movie to release. God be with anyone who cares about the next Planet Of The Apes movie. I’ve been seeing trailers for that for weeks, and it doesn’t come out until Memorial Day! Or, worse … Continue reading American Fiction Review
I probably need to watch more David Fincher. I was not–to say the least–a fan of Fight Club when I saw it way back in 1999 or 2000. I think I probably missed the point of it back then, but the people I knew who liked it by and large liked it because they thought it was “cool” and “awesome”. Not because the movie was … Continue reading The Killer Review
Merry Christmas, everyone! Let’s talk about a murdered child and how it leads to a blood-soaked rampage. Seventy-seven year old John Woo is back in American theaters! It feels like it’s been forever since I have thought of the master of doves, but he presents the new Christmas-themed action movie, Silent Night. It’s his first movie in over 6 years, with his last being 2017’s … Continue reading Silent Night Review
