To this point in the year, the oldest movie I have seen has been 1958’s The Blob, and I really didn’t think that outing was much of a prize. And not that 1958 is anything to sneeze at, but I felt that, you know, I could go a little older with my watching. So I decided to go very little older and watch 1957’s 12 … Continue reading 12 Angry Men Review
Directed by Graham Mason Written by Graham Mason and Ikechukwu Ufomadu Starring Ikechukwu Ufomadu, Matt Barats, Ana Fabrega, Grace Rex, John Early, Aparna Nancherla, Anthony Oberbeck, Jessica Damouni, and Stavros Halkias With its quirky sense of humor, this takes its Columbo- and The Naked Gun-esque tale of murder down a stylistic and endearing path that gets quite a few chuckles out of me. I’ll admit … Continue reading Review of Inspector Ike

It is legitimately amazing to me how many shark attack movies there have been made in the world ever since the success of Jaws back in the 1970’s. “Shark attack movies” is almost commonplace enough to be its own whole genre of cinema. No other breed of animal has been committed to film as predatory antagonists nearly as often as sharks have. Granted, it’s not … Continue reading Thrash Review
You know a Shudder movie is a big deal when it gets a full theatrical release before it hits the horror streaming service. Previously, such films have included Late Night With The Devil and In A Violent Nature. These were efforts where there was clearly enough sentiment that they would do well in cinemas and draw in some more profit for the company, so they … Continue reading Dolly Review
Darin Lundberg from the NoastlgiaCast and Back To Bluey makes his Order debut to discuss the movie he saw in theaters more than any other! So I assume he liked it, right? It’s Batman Begins! For more from the NostalgiaCast, click HERE! Continue reading Episode 176: Batman Begins
The Wrestler-To-Actor pipeline sure is full of twists and turns and loop-de-loops. You would think that being real time performers for whom speaking is a large part of the job, they would be able to create a screen presence and recite lines pretty easily when allowed multiple takes. And yet, it’s anything besides a sure thing, as history has shown. One of the greatest and … Continue reading Night Patrol Review
Here’s something I really dig about Letterboxd, especially as someone who ponied up the money to subscribe as a patron this year for the first time: when you fall into little holes of movie review niches, it never lets you forget them. Earlier this year, I watched three Rocky movies, and ever since then, my Letterboxd statistics have not missed an opportunity to remind me … Continue reading The “Before Trilogy” Review

I don’t watch as many … Continue reading The Whistler (2026) Review

I remember hearing about this a few months ago … Continue reading My review of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
First of all, my apologies go out to the Alien franchise. Back when I did a franchise ranking of that series, I lambasted the series as being a particularly bad one. I noted that it had two good movies and then a bunch of trash in their wake that I was reduced to trying to figure out an order for. Brother, I had no idea … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Scream
I love watching classic movies I’ve never seen before. I don’t always love the movies themselves–at least not as much as I’m “supposed” to–(though I often do), but I love taking the way back machine and checking out something I’d long-since missed. I get “You’ve never seen [beloved film]?!” somewhat often despite the fact that I’ve seen… just… so many movies. There are still so … Continue reading When Harry Met Sally Review

Despite its good reviews and word of mouth, I had missed Bart Layton’s Crime 101 when it was in theaters earlier this year. It’s not alone; it was simultaneously at the cinema with Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, and I never made it out those few weeks to see that, either. My loss, I suppose, but at least it did not take long for … Continue reading Crime 101 Review
