Stuck (2008) - Rated 08 Nov 2026
Another example of nothing good coming from a white person with cornrows. On the positive, we get to see Mena Suvari naked, and there were stellar performances from Stephen Rea and a great comedic performance from Russell Hornsby.

Edmond (2005) - Rated 17 Oct 2026
I went into this thinking it was going to give me the same feeling as After Hours, but the film goes from pitifully funny to tragically dark really quickly. It isn't a man's journey into discovery of himself, but rather a man's mistaken impression that freedom from inhibition is somehow liberating. Stellar cast, some decent boobies, and a moral lesson that I don't think many viewers will get. I think the film recognizes that the pretentious philosophizing is bullshit. Will the viewer?

Masters of the Universe (2026) - Rated 14 Oct 2026
Better than Dolph Lundgren. It's campy fun, with lots of self-awareness. It owns being dumb, and you have to respect it for that. It's occasionally a lot of fun, and it's occasionally too much CGI. Not sure if the experience is meant for us 80's kids that grew up on He-Man toys and the cartoon, or if this is for today's youth who go into it blind. What is the target audience?

Two and a Half Men (2003) - Rated 14 Oct 2026
The early seasons had a lot of charm. The various personalities, the lecherousness of it... it all works well. The three leads had great chemistry. And then tiger blood. Even before Sheen went off the rails, this started tanking. There is maybe 6-7 solid sitcom seasons here, and then the show slowly dies, and after it dies they tried to Weekend at Bernie's it with Ashton Kutcher. It just doesn't work.

Dragged Across Concrete (2019) - Rated 14 Oct 2026
Ok, I need to keep my eye on S. Craig Zahler. Guy is wracking up quite the track record of gritty and stylish films that don't shy away from violence and gore. This was a gut punch. The title suggests violence and action throughout, but this was a slow burn, more of a character driven piece, with the last hour being a real nail biter. Great performances and I loved the dialogue between Gibson and Vaughn. Might drag for some people, but I was fully engaged the entire 2.5 hours.

The Devil's Rejects (2005) - Rated 11 Oct 2026
Never saw House of 1,000 Corpses, and this is apparently a direct sequel. Left me mildly confused at some of the plot points, but not enough to distract me from enjoying the film. I don't like how Rob Zombie attempts to elicit sympathy for absolutely evil people, or how just about every halfway decent person in the film is brutally murdered, but the tone is borderline comedic the entire time, so it doesn't hit as hard as it seems to. Not horror. Like... comedic gore thriller, I guess.

Desperate Living (1977) - Rated 07 Oct 2026
Barely watchable. It is more coherent than Pink Flamingos. Just escalating shock value to a ridiculous ending. I'm sure there is social commentary in here somewhere, but when literally none of the characters have any redeeming qualities, it's hard to find it. This is the movie version of a circus sideshow.

Psycho III (1986) - Rated 26 Sep 2026
The second film in the trilogy had merit as a sequel. The third film just fails in that regard. Maureen is an interesting character that just wasn't very fleshed out. Neither was the journalist or Duke. Lots of ideas without any substance. Film lacked focus. Even Anthony Perkins was unconvincing in this turn as Norman Bates. Overall, a disappointment. Would pass on this and, if Psycho needed a sequel, you can safely stop at Psycho II.

Psycho II (1983) - Rated 23 Sep 2026
An appropriate sequel to a Hitchcock classic. It's nowhere near as good as the first film, but keeps consistent actors decades later, with a plot that manages to keep you guessing. I loved the performance by Meg Tilly, though it might just be because I found her super hot. It's not great, but I'll give it a pass. Watch it. Don't watch it. Consider it canon. Don't. All are acceptable.

Ahsoka (2023) - Rated 29 Aug 2026
Before this life-action adaptation, Ahsoka was my favorite Star Wars character. And this is coming from a guy who grew up on the original trilogy and skipped a day of high school to camp out for tickets for Phantom Menace. I loved animated Ahsoka, and I think that Dawson does a fair portrayal. But the writing here is really weak. I didn't like the forcing the force down your throat, or the weird girl power thing. Ray Stevenson was great, though. Which is depressing.
