87 71% The Blob (1988) - Rated 31 Oct 2023
"I was expecting this to be garbage and what I got in return was a very entertaining/campy/shlock kind of movie with effects that still hold up, the blob itself is gross to look at. It's also a very 80s movie but mostly in a good way, I thought it was very funny. I'm glad a movie about gelatinous monster exceeded my expectations. I haven't seen the original yet so I can't really speak on how it compares to this."
90 79% Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) - Rated 20 Oct 2023
"I would like to re-watch this back to back with the first movie since this is a very direct sequel. It retains the vibe of the first one, while adding some extra lore, which I didn't think really deterred from the mystique of the cenobites although I've seen that debated online. I think there are some narrative/issues at times. Otherwise a very unsettling experience, really dug it and a great way to kick off the Halloween season"
85 67% Porco Rosso (1992) - Rated 23 Aug 2023
"Really enjoyed this one, got to see this on the big screen too. Animation is on point a usual, on the surface I thought it was a fairly lighthearted experience but looking back it left me with more to think about than I expected. That comes down to the excellent way that this story is told as well as the content/themes that are brought up throughout. Highly recommend this one."
98 99% Princess Mononoke (1997) - Rated 10 Aug 2023
"The art style and animation are impeccable, completely breathtaking. Very glad I got to see this on the big screen for my first viewing of this. I enjoyed the thematic elements and story as well. I thought it was a bit of a depressing tone to this. Very effective and met my expectations"
90 79% John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) - Rated 29 Jul 2023
"Like all the movies in this series the action is non-stop, impressive and exciting to watch. There was a lot going on here, it slowed down at times but mostly felt like it was at a breakneck pace. It met the standards of what I'd expect for a John Wick movie. Very cool seeing Rina Sawayama have a role in this one. Another case of where I was already a fan of the style and it delivered on what I expected."
65 40% Scream 6 (2023) - Rated 29 Jul 2023
"I feel like this one was a bit all over the place, there were times where things tended to drag on at points especially towards the middle. Some of the dialogue felt a bit forced and I think the previous movie had a better satirical edge, that being said this wasn't that bad."
84 65% Clerks III (2022) - Rated 06 Jan 2023
"Goes between being very goofy and irreverent to being very sad and bittersweet. I thought it was well done. It's heavy on the nostalgia which can be a little overdone at times. I still thought there were plenty of funny moments and it had the heart that most good Kevin Smith movies have. Both Anderson and O'Halloran do a really great job, I always enjoy seeing them on the screen. Made specifically for the long time viewaskew fan just like the last one."
93 88% Nope (2022) - Rated 06 Jan 2023
"When I think more about the narrative themes in this movie the better the whole experience was for me. I won't lie I was caught off guard by the ending a bit and I certainly had to sit and think about a few things which is always a plus for a hyped movie like this. For as crazy as some of this gets it's not afraid to take some time to breathe. It's very easy to see this being polarizing, I thought the performances were great and I was invested in the characters as well. This was a lot of fun"
1% Halloween Ends (2022) - Rated 11 Nov 2022
"I enjoyed the other 2 movies prior to this one for different reasons, I even liked Halloween Kills in spite of some of the more over the top and ridiculous shit that happens in it. This one though? hard to defend, it doesn't seem connected to the previous movie much at all, a bunch of new characters are introduced and a lot of it seems very rushed and unengaging. A very disappointing and anticlimactic end to a franchise that feels very self important. Not sure who wanted this at all."
93 88% Barbarian (2022) - Rated 01 Nov 2022
"I didn't know anything about this movie other than people said it looked interesting. I had absolutely no idea what to expect and this took me through a very strange ride through it all. The acting across the board was all great. There's a lot of different horror elements at play here that I really liked. This is weirdly disturbing, campy and hilarious somehow all at the same time, I felt this was effectively unsettling throughout."
