The Naked Gun (2025) - Rated 16 Oct 2026
Completely forgot to log this months ago because it left absolutely no impression. If you're fine with only 1 out of every 30 jokes landing, then I guess this is fine. But I don't think it's too much to ask for a better hit rate than that

Event Horizon (1997) - Rated 16 Oct 2026
It's close to being okay, which is essentially a masterpiece by Paul W.S. Anderson's standards

V/H/S/Mixtape (2026) - Rated 14 Oct 2026
One of the overall weaker installments in this lengthy series, and the largest abandonment of the found footage format (3 out of the 7 segments aren't found footage in any way, and another one is beyond lazy in its attempt at the format)

The Tunnel Movie (2011) - Rated 14 Oct 2026
The Tunnel is a pretty good subterranean found footage flick that's most lacking in the payoff department. Plenty of cool visuals, natural performances, and nice build-up, but the danger ends up being a bit too easily escaped, and the documentary framing device kind of spoils who lives and dies throughout the film from the very first moments, removing much of the tension and potential to surprise

The Cell (2000) - Rated 12 Oct 2026
Outside of occasionally veering into style-over-substance territory and perhaps being a bit too influenced by (or beholden to at a studio level) The Matrix from the year before, this kicks so much ass. So many creative visuals and compelling ideas. I love when Vincent D'Onofrio is in full sicko mode. He is so good at that energy

Hell House LLC (2015) - Rated 11 Oct 2026
Eh, it's okay. The cast during the found footage parts have decent chemistry and are pretty believable in their interactions. The documentary portions are less well handled. It's a shame that it doesn't really build to a worthwhile payoff. The climaxes of both the found footage and documentary portions are both kind of lame and not really worth the journey to get there.

Rasen (1998) - Rated 09 Oct 2026
Why does it feel like everyone is on tranquilizers, in front of and behind the camera?
