40 4% Trespass (2011) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"Ben Mendelsohn, despite wearing a mask for most of the film, is the only one who's having any fun here, and in that sentence I am definitely including the audience. If you want to make a twisty movie, please first come up with twists that are enjoyable, shocking and/or satisfying."
65 17% Final Destination 5 (2011) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"A solid return to form (although this particular horror franchise is much more even than most in terms of quality) with some interesting casting, good variations on the mechanics of avoiding death, and some franchise connecting shenanigans that wouldn't have been out of place in the Fast and Furious series and that I am totally here for!"
55 9% The Final Destination (2009) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"This is probably the worst of the franchise, especially with its egregious focus on including 3D effects, but I gotta say that if you HAVE to do that then resolving everything in a showdown where cinema-goers are being brutally killed by objects flying at them through the screen is absolutely the right way to do it."
60 12% Final Destination 3 (2006) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"I'm not sure if this is really better than the second one, but I'll give it a bump for having Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the lead role. She's good!"
58 11% Final Destination 2 (2003) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"Not much worse than the first one, and with one of the most memorable opening disasters, but the new concept about avoiding death by creating new life takes up too much space without being explored in an interesting fashion."
63 15% Final Destination (2000) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"If this had filmed a year later Seann William Scott would have been the star instead of the least important cast member, and also it would never have come out because of the brutal plane crash depiction."
82 82% Brazil (1985) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"A masterpiece of production design and absurdist humor that mostly still holds up today and is only sometimes let down by its dated characterization and plotting."
75 49% Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020) - Rated 05 Feb 2024
"I think this deserves to be in the conversation for the upper echelon of the DCEU (although that will mean wildly different things to different people), on the strength of its action scenes, the fun structure and the charming cast that it assembles. The plot is so-so and I wish there had been more room to develop some of the side characters, but overall I'm glad I caught up with it."
65 17% The Old Way (2023) - Rated 05 Feb 2024
"I would describe this as serviceable. Cage and the little girl are pretty solid, and the whole thing feels low-budget but not trashy."
83 86% Monster (2023) - Rated 05 Feb 2024
"The first act feels a little strange when you don't know about the overall structure of the film, but eventually all becomes clear. Another success for Koreeda!"
