Street Trash (1987) - Rated 11 Aug 2025
"Bonkers and gross, both in good and bad ways. For every fun and creative moment, there's twice as much sexual assault, sometimes carried out by the supposed protagonist, sometimes with a corpse, and multiple times played for laughs with whacky cartoon music. The humor mostly misses by miles, and the plot makes no sense at all, but the filmmaking at work is surprisingly high quality in areas -- it's such a mismatch. It's like a sleazy, perverted, scumbag wrote a movie for a promising director"
The House That Jack Built (2018) - Rated 08 Aug 2025
The City of the Dead (1960) - Rated 05 Aug 2025
"They went so overboard on the fog that you can never see the ground or even three feet above it at any point. The actors could have all been walking around in clown shoes the whole movie and there would be no way to tell"
Vital (2004) - Rated 03 Aug 2025
"At its best when it's indulging in surreal imagery and interpretive dance. At its worst the rest of the time"
S-94 (2009) - Rated 03 Aug 2025
"Like a bad student film"
Conann (2023) - Rated 30 Jul 2025
"Bonkers in a wonderful way and packed with non-stop wild, transgressive imagery and ideas. At times, it wobbles under the weight of its own collective insanity but it manages to just barely hold itself together while bursting at the seams"
Eddington (2025) - Rated 21 Jul 2025
"I mostly loved this even though it does feel overstuffed, and its hefty runtime might not be divided in the best way with certain plotlines getting short shrift while others perhaps got more attention than they needed"
Scarecrow (1973) - Rated 20 Jul 2025
"Two of the most complex and compelling characters that I've seen in some time with suitably incredible performances to match. It's a film that takes its time and sneaks up on you with its hardest hitting moments. It might be a bit less talked about than other '70s gems, but this is essential New Hollywood filmmaking through and through"
Kisapmata (1981) - Rated 20 Jul 2025
"Quite a slow burn with a hell of a payoff and some truly scathing religious social commentary layered throughout. The way I see it, De Leon uses a true story as the foundation for an allegorical attack on the entire institution of Christianity"
Ash (2025) - Rated 20 Jul 2025
"Eiza Gonzalez gives off huge Gal Gadot energy"
