Every year, the same thing happens to me. I seek to watch a ton of new movies, but after the first couple of months of the year, I worry I’m way off the pace I need to be on. There are just aren’t a lot of worthwhile flicks released between January and March. So I end up having only seen a few movies those first … Continue reading They Will Kill You Review
I get a little frustrated by movies that seemingly don’t know when to end. I was notoriously not a big fan of Nicholas Cage’s acclaimed movie Pig because, to me, it felt like a sixty minute storyline poorly stretched out to a runtime of ninety minutes. In the interest of making it feature length, they sacrificed good pacing and storytelling, and it all felt very … Continue reading Mr. Sandman (2024) Review
We are living in the weirdest timeline: one where there is a whole cinematic universe of action movies based around ballerinas. With two movies in the last few years simply having been called “Ballerina” (okay, I guess the John Wick spin-off had a subtitle) and being about a ballet dancer who goes on a revenge tour against those who have wronged her, you can be … Continue reading Pretty Lethal Review
Here is some funny/concerning/fitting Inside Baseball for our readers: when writing these reviews, I actually write somewhat backwards. I do the Ups And Downs first, then the Overall, and then I come up here to do my preamble and short synopsis. Well today, after finishing the U&D and Overall, I checked the word count just to see where we were, and it was 666. That … Continue reading Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come Review

Beginning April 7, audiences across the US will be able to rent or own I Know Exactly How You Die on Digital HD, including Prime Video, and Fandango at Home. The film will also be available on DVD. I’m … Continue reading I Know Exactly How You Die Review
We are reviewing a movie from the 1960’s today! You know how I feel about that. I had actually mentioned today’s film in that above linked article. It has been a long time coming for my finally getting around to Peeping Tom, but here we are. Peeping Tom, I had been told, is one of those movies that gets referenced a lot when people are … Continue reading Peeping Tom Review
I recently went on something of a Rocky spree in my movie watching. Historically, I’ve seen the original Academy Award winning Rocky once, Rocky IV several times (because Rocky IV is amazing, and if I can change and YOU can change, then EVERYONE can change!), and the Creed trilogy all once each. So I had some blindspots to fill in. Having been a fan of … Continue reading Rocky II Review
It’s been a rough year so far with catching new release movies for me. After having seen a personal best 117 new release movies in 2025, as of early March, I was only up to nine here in 2026. I’ve seen loads of late-2025 flicks, sure! But precious few films that have come out this calendar year. It hasn’t been for a lack of trying; … Continue reading The Bluff Review
I had a choice to make recently between watching the 1958 The Blob or the 1988 remake thereof. Obviously I ended up going with the original. I’m not nearly as anti-remake as a lot of folks are; I recognize that across Hollywood’s history, there have been several great remade movies. And some have even surpassed the originals! But for this instance, I was following my … Continue reading The Blob (1958) Review
Honey Bunch is a relatively new outing featured on Shudder that I had kept passing over for several days due to reasons I will get into in the Ups and Downs. It just kind of sat there on the New Releases screen if I scrolled enough to the right on the AMC+ home page. And I’d look at it, and I’d hem and haw, and … Continue reading Honey Bunch Review
Filmhub has announced the official US digital release of Jeremy Schuetze’s found footage feature Anacoreta. Following a festival run and debut in Canada, Anacoreta debuts on digital platforms February 24 in the US. Anacoreta screened at the Heartland International Film Festival, where it won Best Horror, and the Manchester Film Festival, where the team took home Best International Feature. Found Footage Movies remain a pretty … Continue reading Anacoreta Review
I’m sure you’ll pardon me if I say I’m going through something of a Robin Williams moment these days. It wasn’t that long ago that I watched and reviewed Good Morning Vietnam. And since then, the hits have just kept coming. I’ve watched the HBO documentary Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, which is a two hour look at the actor and comedian’s life all … Continue reading Good Will Hunting Review
I’m always a little hesitant to write reviews for supposedly classic movies that I ultimately did not end up liking on a first watch. I’m reminded of a few months ago when I finally saw The Goonies. Now did I hate, or even actively dislike, The Goonies? No. But I thought it was entirely pedestrian, really. Like a definitive 5 / 10 for me. It … Continue reading Caddyshack Review
I’ve actually never been high in my life. Never saw the appeal and never really went that way with my choices. I’ve never drank, either, for that matter. And while we are at it, I haven’t had any real amount of caffeine in about twenty years. I’m a blast; invite me to all of your parties! But the point is, stoner comedies don’t particularly jive … Continue reading Pineapple Express Review
Welcome to the single most requested classic movie review I’ve had lobbed at me. Considering my sub-series on pre-COVID era movies is known as my Blast From The Past reviews, it’s not wholly unusual that I’ve had several folks comment something along the lines of “You should review the movie Blast From The Past!” or “I thought you were reviewing the actual movie Blast From … Continue reading Blast From The Past Review
