Remember Bodies Bodies Bodies? The A24 romp about a gathering of entitled, rich Zoomers during a hurricane that ends poorly when the friends decide to play a game together? The new Netflix offering It’s What’s Inside certainly does. After an opening that focuses on two of the cast of characters–a couple, no less, showing all of the lessons learned from the aforementioned Bodies flick–It’s What’s … Continue reading It’s What’s Inside Review
I am back on my Indian Cinema bullshit again this article with the recently-released-to-Netflix Telugu language hit, Salaar Part 1 – Ceasefire. I have to say that I love this new world of movies that RRR has opened up for me. While nothing has quite measured up to that entry itself for me, I recognize that that isn’t a necessarily fair comparison to most Bollywood/Tollywood/etc … Continue reading Salaar (Part 1) 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
As I cruised along 2024, watching as many movies as I could, I was never sure I would hit 100 total new releases watched on the year. I want to say that at some point in October, I was only up to 80 new releases, and it just seemed unlikely I was going to get through enough new films in the last two months–the months … Continue reading Top Thirty Movies Of 2024, #30-21
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

It’s all led up to this. We’re finally at the Top Ten Movies of 2023. According to me. Because these are my articles. You’ll have your chance to give me your top ten at the end here. So be patient. But as a quick recall: I saw 113 movies released in 2023, and I ranked them all and gave the listings of all of my … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #10-1
As a quick catch-up: I watched 113 movies that came out in 2023, and I’m counting down my Top 50, all of which fall into my “Definite Recommends” category. We’ve done #50-41 (click HERE for that), #40-31 (click HERE), and #30-21 (HERE). So we are into the teens! That’s not what I want to talk about, though. In 2022, I set a goal for myself … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #20-11
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
I easily cracked my January goal of having seen 100 movies that came out in 2023, having made it to 112 by mid-December, at which point I decided to call the year and get into my Best Of lists. I actually made it to the theater 40 times in total in 2023, for 38 individual movies, two of which I saw twice. The rest of … Continue reading The Top 50 Movies Of 2023: #50-41
Christopher Landon has a new movie out on Netflix! It took me a second to place the name when I first heard this, but Christopher Landon is behind some absolutely great flicks. Disturbia. Some of the decent Paranormal Activity movies before the franchise went too far up its own bottom. Freaky. And Happy Death Day! I love Happy Death Day! Once I placed all of … Continue reading We Have A Ghost Review
We’ve come to the final entry in this series. Shortly after the second season of Punisher, it was announced that all Marvel Netflix shows were cancelled and further more, it would be two years before Marvel Studios would be allowed to use any of the characters due to its deal with Netflix. It was a massive blow. Jessica Jones’ third season, like the final seasons … Continue reading Marvel Netflix Retrospective – Jessica Jones Season 3
We’re down to the wire with only one more entry to go after this. When the second season of Punisher was getting released, Netflix had maybe two trailers for it even though previous shows had multiple trailers, interviews, and other promotional material. Daredevil hadn’t yet been cancelled but I remember a lot of people realizing that it wouldn’t be around much longer. It was unfortunate … Continue reading Marvel Netflix Retrospective – Punisher Season 2
At this point in Netflix Marvel’s history, both Iron Fist and Luke Cage had been cancelled and the remaining seasons of Daredevil, Punisher, and Jessica Jones were being released almost a month from one another. I recall the build-up to Daredevil’s third season having almost no promotion from Netflix, which made me think the whole franchise was on the chopping block. After all, Daredevil was … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Daredevil Season 3
