With having now watched Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind, I am now up to seven Hayao Miyazaki films in my mental catalogue. Which is to say: a fair amount, but not nearly enough! Nausicaa is a strange one. It technically pre-dates Studio Ghibli, but it is often shown at Ghibli based viewings and festivals. It’s the pre-cursor to the studio, and the film … Continue reading NausicaA Of The Valley Of The Wind Review
One of those things I guess I just don’t “get” as an adult is how often I am supposed to change my bed’s mattress. Society would lead me to believe it is more often than I think it is, because how else would you explain how there are mattress stores, like, EVERYWHERE. Given that I assume my bed’s mattress is going to last until I … Continue reading California King Review
I don’t really remember turning sixteen. I know that is one of the birthdays everyone is supposed to look forward to and remember forever, but I, as a currently 44 year old, don’t recall it at all. I did not wake up to a new car in the driveway or anything, so I suppose it was just another birthday for me. But probably with a … Continue reading Sixteen Candles Review
I was first introduced to the world of Korean and Japanese pop and rap music in the mid-2000’s. I was dating a girl who was enamored of the stuff, and her iPod was loaded with songs from artists like m-flo, Se7en, BoA, Namie Amuro, and more. Whenever we went places, that was what we listened to, like, 90% of the time. That or Tenacious D. … Continue reading K-Pop Demon Hunters Review
Anyone who knows me knows that I love some 1980’s horror movies and franchises. Obviously I have long been a lover of the big series like Friday The 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but I also quite dig the lower tier stuff when I have seen it. Movies like Maniac Cop, Grotesque, or Chopping Mall are highly enjoyable despite their lower budgets. … Continue reading Killer Klowns From Outer Space Review
Sometimes I get so caught up in looking for movies on Shudder that I forget my AMC+ app has an entire cinematic catalogue aside from just what the horror sub-app offers! Recently, while tearing through my various subscriptions and looking for something to watch, I opened up AMC+. But before I got to the Shudder button, I caught myself looking at another option: a movie … Continue reading Neighborhood Watch Review
I never saw my first Predator movie until after the COVID-19 pandemic started. When I found myself with more time at home during that worldwide crisis, I decided to start plowing through movies I had never seen before (and that’s a hobby for me that has continued ever since). Early on in that rush, I watched the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Predator. I really … Continue reading Predator: Killer Of Killers Review
It’s time for another blast from the past review, as I continue my march through the list of classic movies that I have never seen before. I actually had to take two tries to watch Godzilla 1954; my first attempt saw me find a copy on my friend’s Plex server that was buried under an audio track talking about the history of Japan and the … Continue reading Godzilla (1954) Review
If you’re thirsty for more blood in the wake of Sinners, sink your fangs into the SCREAMBOX Original film Bleeding on June 10. In a world where vampire blood is harvested as a drug, two desperate teenagers on the run from a vicious dealer break into an empty house and find a sleeping girl locked inside. I always want to like vampire movies more than … Continue reading Bleeding Review
After something of a one offering drought in 2024, 2025 has come along and is offering us a smorgasbord of Marvel Cinematic Universe releases in theater. We have already had Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, and Fantastic Four: First Steps is becoming more imminent with each passing day. With Brave New World now available to watch at home on Disney Plus, let’s take … Continue reading Captain America: Brave New World Review
It was just recently that I came home from DisneyWorld and decided to review The Princess & The Frog in the wake of my trip. Tiana and her story seemed to be everywhere down there, and I realized I would simply have to check that movie out for the first time when I got home. Already being in a Disney kind of mood, it wasn’t … Continue reading Lilo & Stitch (2002) Review
A Hard Place features a cast of genre titans, including Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier 2), Lynn Lowry (Shivers, The Crazies), Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6, The Beast Inside), Rachel Amanda Bryant (Craving), Kevin Caliber (“Future Man”), Ashley Undercuffler (Craving, 16 Bits), and Bai Ling (The Crow). I feel like, historically, we have gotten a lot of Vampires fighting Werewolves in pop culture. I’m not … Continue reading A Hard Place Review
Let’s get it right out of the way: No, I had never watched Raiders Of The Lost Ark before now. No, I don’t know how that is, either. It’s just one of those flicks that I never found myself having a chance to watch. Oddly, I watched Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade a few years back. And I definitely saw at least part of … Continue reading Raiders Of The Lost Ark Review
It feels weird that it’s been since 2021 when the last Netflix Fear Street movies were released, and I swear I thought it was much more recently than that. When I was looking for my rankings of them on Letterboxd, I looked over 2022 and 2023 before going back to 2021, and there they were. Regardless, when they were released FOUR YEARS AGO (god, time … Continue reading Fear Street: Prom Queen Review
It’s been less than a week since I returned from DisneyWorld. It was a great vacation, and easily the best of the three times in my life I have visited the theme park. Every trip has its ups and downs, but this was overall a fantastic voyage away from home for a week, and I’d definitely recommend visiting The Happiest Place On Earth if you … Continue reading The Princess & The Frog Review
