| 70 36% | Virtuosity (1995) - Rated 03 Nov 2024
"Overall I think this movie is probably closer to a 60 than a 70 but Russell Crowe's over the top performance pushes it over the edge. Virtuosity is a pretty standard thriller wrapped up in a sci-fi wrapper. I found the story to have just enough originality to make it fun. I liked a lot of the early nineties technology featured in the movie. The VR stuff was fun especially since we are in the second renaissance of VR now. I found the acting good overall. It isn't a classic but it is a fun ride."

| 30 1% | Captain America (1990) - Rated 29 Oct 2024
"The only reason I watched this movie was because I am following a podcast that watched through it. I'm interested to hear their discussion on the movie but the movie itself was terrible. I don't think I enjoyed anything in this movie. There were some truly awful moments that made me smile because they were so terrible but that's it. The acting was bad. I'm sure that this version is more in line with what Cap is supposed to be like but it was boring. Question: Shouldn't the hero go first? WTF?!?"

| 50 8% | Haunted Mansion (2023) - Rated 28 Oct 2024
"I've come to a fascination with the Haunted Mansion in my adult life. I've never been to Disney so I've never been through this attraction. I've enjoyed the other Haunted Mansion properties more so than this one. I find the Eddie Murphy version fun and easy to watch. The Muppet version is cute with small elements of fear. The comic version is cool and hipster. This version is a patchwork off ideas that never coalesce. It seems like a movie made by committee. The acting was good but disjointed."

| 90 84% | Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) - Rated 11 Oct 2024
"I really loved this adaptation of Nosferatu or Dracula or whatever you may want to call it. It was filmed gorgeously. Especially the cinematography in the castle was beautiful. The acting throughout was surreal and ethereal. It really felt like it was from another time. Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula is fantastic. I loved this portrayal of Dracula. I felt the characterization was so pathetic that it was comical. I really loved it. The wheezing sounds that he made throughout were excellent."

| 50 8% | Frogs (1972) - Rated 30 Sep 2024
"Reptiles and bugs from all across the world have descended upon this small island and decided to take revenge on this rich family. They must be taking orders from the frogs because the frogs don't do shit during this whole movie. The ways in which these beasts kill are fantastic. One person was swallowed by vegetation and spider webs. Another was murdered by some very enterprising lizards that knew the proper mixture of chemicals that would create a toxic gas. It was definitely a drive-in movie."

| 80 62% | Deadpool 2 (2018) - Rated 29 Sep 2024
"Deadpool is one of my favorite Marvel characters. I loved the original movie too. I thought that Ryan Reynolds was the perfect person to embody the character. This second movie does a great job of adding to that story. The fourth-wall breaks are still funny. The new characters in this movie are good additions. When the team is being formed, it treads a little too close to Suicide Squad territory but it's forgivable. Julian Dennison's Firefist is the best part of the movie behind Pool himself."

| 90 84% | Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) - Rated 29 Sep 2024
"I may come back and edit my score for this movie. I grew up on Beetlejuice. I loved the original, the cartoon series, and I even had some action figures. I loved this movie. I had a goofy smile on my face during the whole experience. It is a great story by itself but, for someone like me, it does so much to reference the original. The music remixes the songs we loved. The acting is fantastic especially Katherine O'Hara. I was happy with how they treated Charles. But why no Otho?"

| 80 62% | Inside Out 2 (2024) - Rated 29 Sep 2024
"The original movie was funnier but this movie has more substance to it. We saw the same thing happen with the Toy Story series. As the kids who watched the movie grow up so does the story. I enjoyed the addition of the new emotions they are more complex but the original emotions are really the stars of the show still. I will definitely be watching it again and I'm sure I'll pick up on things that I enjoy about the movie on further viewings. It's easy to see why this is the new Pixar flagship."

| 80 62% | Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence (2023) - Rated 25 Sep 2024
"It's bad but not as bad as it could have been. This documentary explores how a deeply manipulative man was able to destroy the lives of some young kids at Sarah Lawrence college. He not only ruined their lives but also got one young man to rope in his two sisters and destroy their family in the process. The documentary team had access to tons of audio and video footage so a lot of the documentary is really hard to watch because it is so raw. The end of the story wrapped up on a good note."

| 80 62% | Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales (2021) - Rated 22 Sep 2024
"Terrifying Tales is a fun spooky season style collection of stories told in the Star Wars universe. The video is chock full of fun gags for parents and kids alike. I enjoyed the reference to The Shining which was made only for the parents in the room. Even that reference is more enjoyable to Star Wars fans and that can be said about this whole special. It is made for fans. There are tons of deep-cut references that only die-hard fans will pick up on. Yet, it adds on good lore too. Check it out."
