I feel like I need to get over my mental block against documentaries sometime. When I think of documentaries, I typically don’t think of something I’d like to watch. I mentally picture a bunch of boring old white people talking about, like, war airplanes or something. The whole idea of it just makes me want to take a nap. But there are many good documentaries … Continue reading Create Or Die Review

Hey guys, do you know how weird it is that Russell Crowe is doing another Exorcism movie already? He just did The Pope’s Exorcist! Yeah, I’m not going to be that guy and make too big of a deal out of that–admittedly striking–similarity between two of Crowe’s biggest recent releases. It’s strange, sure, but he takes the roles that he takes, and I’m sure he … Continue reading The Exorcism Review
NOTE: Very slight spoilers within for the new Netflix offering, Hit Man! First off, I just want to say that Hit Man kind of annoyed me. And not just because it’s called “Hit Man” and not “Hitman”, thereby making it slightly frustrating to find on Letterboxd when I went to log it. No, you see, it’s because Hit Man is based not just on a … Continue reading Hit Man Review
The croaks are no hoax! Frogman hops onto SCREAMBOX exclusively on June 7. The ribbiting found footage curio explores the local legend of an amphibious cryptid. “These croaks are no hoax”. You see, that’s how you sell a movie to me. That’s some great “bad” writing there. It’s so good, it almost made me miss “[t]he ribbeting found footage curio…”. Come on! Someone went all … Continue reading Frogman Review

Remember, like, fifteen years ago when Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in the fictional portrayal of his life, JCVD? It was supposed to be a renaissance for the actor where he would start taking more serious roles and begin getting more respect. There was actual, legitimate talk that Van Damme–JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME–could someday be an awards-worthy actor (it’s arguable that he deserved to be awarded for … Continue reading Darkness Of Man Review
Reena from the Better Call Daddy podcast is here this episode to discuss this long-forgotten TV movie from the mid-1990’s. It was a pilot that never got picked up, but how was Generation X and how does it hold up in 2024? For more from Better Call Daddy, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 113: Generation X
From the genre of Movies That Never Needed To Be A Franchise, we bring you the third film in The Strangers extended universe: The Strangers: Chapter One. The first The Strangers movie was a sleeper hit with its small budget (nine million dollars) weighed against massive box office success (over 82 million). It was a movie I personally found half-satisfying. For the front end, the … Continue reading The Strangers: Chapter One Review
You know… I’m not sure I ever had an imaginary friend, such as they are. Which is weird because I grew up as a single child, so I was in the prime market for making one. Or perhaps I just forgot all about whatever one I did have, such as media is found of telling people happens to kids as they grow up. But I … Continue reading IF Review
Kitty The Killer is a new revenge-action flick, in the same vein as the John Wick movies, from the Far East. I’m… kind of John Wick’ed out these days from action movies that have taken the success of Keanu Reeves’ franchise to the core of their heart, but I really enjoyed the trailer, so I definitely wanted to give this one a go. It looked … Continue reading Kitty The Killer Review
The city provides! Honey B and Precious D from Monster Movie Fun Time Go! return to The Order to discuss what is very much Frank Miller’s interpretation of The Spirit. For more from MMFTG, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 112: The Spirit
I heard some other theater patrons talking about The Fall Guy as they left the auditorium, and they were comparing notes on how well the movie followed the TV show vis a vis how well 21 Jump Street did the same. I’m going to go ahead and be honest: that was the first time it even occurred to me that this movie was based on … Continue reading The Fall Guy Review
Drawing comparisons to Paranormal Activity and Skinamarink, Life of Belle haunts SCREAMBOX on May 17. The found footage film attempts to piece together the mysterious disappearance of a young girl. I’ll take sleight issue with that summary from Screambox, as aside from the fact that there are children involved, Life Of Belle is nothing like Skinamarink. Oh, there’s a lot of Paranormal Activity here to … Continue reading Life Of Belle Review
And we are back! When last we discussed A24, I mentioned I had finally gotten up to twenty-four films from the studio that I have seen. Seeing as how that is apparently their favorite number, I decided to rank all of them. Last time, we covered #24-#13. We are back this time to get through the rest, so let’s do that now! 12. The Whale … Continue reading Stew Ranks His First Twenty-Four A24 Movies! #12-1
