| 40 21% | Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) - Mar 20, 2023
"This is a live-action cartoon originally aimed at adults but toned down for kids. It starts out strong but completely collapses halfway through. I honestly considered shutting it off because it just turns into "people doing things" for half an hour. Thankfully, the movie gets a second wind in the last 20 minutes and actually made me laugh out loud for the first time. Definitely not for everyone."

| 50 31% | Nemesis (1993) - Mar 15, 2023
"Nemesis is an amazing accomplishment for a film with a budget of only $2 million. Relatively nice special effects, entertaining action and solid camera work. The story drags terribly, but the sci-fi elements are decent; There's bits of Robocop, Terminator and Blade Runner. Maybe if Pyun had had another million he could've kept pace throughout, now i got a bit too bored at times."

| 10 1% | The VelociPastor (2018) - Feb 23, 2023
"This is a deliberate attempt at making a "so-bad-it's-good" B-movie. That's really hard to do because you have to ride the line between "funny bad" and "boring bad". I expected silly dialogue, clunky fighting and a goofy costume. And we do get that. For about 5 minutes. The "hunchback of the Cretaceous" costume is hilarious and they only use it once. There's a few good lines. That's it. The other 63 minutes are filled with boring dialogue. Oh god, and it's so slow it feels like a 3 hour movie."

| 70 57% | Navalny (2022) - Jan 03, 2023
"The scene where Navalny tricks one of his would-be assassins into a confession is insane and makes this worth a watch. Other than that it's overlong and shallow. You learn very little about him, and even less about his politics. It's also overly "filmish" with its editing and use of music."

| 70 57% | Deadpool 2 (2018) - Dec 01, 2022 |
| 50 31% | Predator (1987) - Nov 17, 2022
"The predator is an alien psychopath who cowardly kills people who can't even see him with his laser cannon. When he decides to play fair it turns out he's actually a terrible hunter. The movie is unbalanced. There's 15 minutes of action, the rest is muscular guys walking around or doing arts & crafts. It starts out with goofy stuff then turns into an overly serious thriller. It's just too slow and "random" to work."

| 50 31% | Hellraiser (1987) - Nov 17, 2022
"Hellraiser has some entertaining designs and nice gore but it's terribly boring. There's no pacing, 95% takes place in the same house and no one acts like a real human being. Aside from the chase scene it's also never actually scary, in part because the BDSM monsters are so goofy. Mostly it's just dull."

| 60 41% | Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022) - Oct 20, 2022
"This film has lots going for it. It's got some clever ideas, the voice acting is great, some of the references are really fun, visually everything is seemless and Ugly Sonic is hilarious. However, it rarely goes beyond "mildly entertaining" and Kiki Layne definitely is no Bob Hoskins. It's okay but i wouldn't recommend it unless you're nostalgic for Rescue Rangers."

| 70 57% | Nope (2022) - Oct 20, 2022
"Nope is as original, unrealistic and subtextey as his first two films. It's also very messy. The pacing is off. The message is garbled. It does not adhere to its own rules. It's also hard to care about what happens because the characters are barely there or unlikeable. Kaluuya seems to play a robot for most of the film. Of course the film is also mysterious, genuinely creepy and completely outlandish. I'm looking forward to Peele's next film already."

| 30 11% | Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005) - Oct 18, 2022
"D&D 2 is a porn parody without the sex. It's a movie that's so bad that it's bad. It's a big budget fan film. It's 104 minutes of embarassment for everyone involved. And it's sorely lacking Jeremy Irons hamming it up to 11. You might get some laughs at the bad *everything* from the CGI to the sets to the dialogue, but ultimately you're just going to end up dreadfully bored."
