A House of Dynamite (2025) - Rated 11 Apr 2026
They get half a score for making half a movie. This went from being the most anticipated movie to the biggest disappointment of 2025.

The Bad Seed Returns (2022) - Rated 28 Jan 2023
A refreshing antithesis to the superhero genre. This is the second film in a villainous series about a psychopath girl who is smart, confident, out plays the people in her life, and is willing to take action to achieve her goals, no matter who is hurt along the way. If a third film was made, I would watch it. I didn't like how they changed the actresses' hair in the second film. The messy blonde bangs is not a good look and doesn't seem to match the character's meticulous personality.

The Bad Seed (2018) - Rated 28 Jan 2023
Good pacing, good acting, and a gripping story about a psychopath girl. While the outcome of some scenes were telegraphed, there were a few surprises along the way and the outcome of the story was uncertain. An outstanding directorial debut by Rob Lowe and performance by Mckenna Grace.

The Wonder (2022) - Rated 28 Jan 2023
Boring. The only wonder is why this movie was made. I watched it until the end and found nothing compelling or redeeming. A waste of money, a waste of talent, and a waste of time.

Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) - Rated 23 Nov 2022
Mediocre movie made for the masses. This contrived story has all of the classic elements designed to emotionally manipulate the viewer. The effort is clumsy and for a story that takes place in nature, none of the story or characters comes across as natural. This is pornography for middle aged housewives trapped in their suburban homes. I kept waiting for the movie to end and was relieved when it was finally over. Not recommended.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) - Rated 18 Apr 2020
The best part of this movie was Zoey Deutch. She brought a spark of life and color to a dull movie. It was enjoyable watching her play an unusual role as a ditsy blonde. Her mastery of witty, comedic timing, and expressive body language, hearkens back to her 2014 role in Vampire Academy. The other actors were flat and uninteresting, in comparison. The script was mediocre. And for a movie that purports to be a comedy, I don't think I laughed once. I hope I never have to watch this again.

After Darkness (2018) - Rated 06 Dec 2019
This movie is marketed as science fiction, but it's a boring, shit movie about family drama. After watching for 30 minutes I realized I didn't care about any of the characters or their supposed predicament. The actors lacked charisma and I found nothing compelling to continue watching so I jumped ahead multiple times to see how the plot unfolds. There is nothing interesting or redeeming and I'm glad I didn't sit through the full 95 minutes.

Girl from Nowhere (2017) - Rated 23 Sep 2019
This movie is different in all of the best ways. The production value is low, but the quality is not. The dialogue is interesting and the plot kept me guessing until the very end. I particularly enjoyed the music selection for this film. Christia Visser is beautiful and plays her role with charisma. Girl From Nowhere is a perfect example of not needing a lot of money to tell a compelling story.

Blackway (2016) - Rated 31 Aug 2019
Boring. I don't know why this film was made or why these actors chose to act in it. I would not watch this again or recommend anyone else to watch it. I can think of nothing compelling about this movie. The most I can say is that it was at least competently assembled.

The Invisible (2007) - Rated 05 Aug 2019
I remembered this movie fondly the first time I watched it shortly after it was released. Years later, I had forgotten most of the details and wanted to rewatch it. There was no option to rent, only buy, which I did without hesitation and that's unusual for me. The movie holds up years later with a particular outstanding performance by actress Margarita Levieva. She is convincing as a menacing street tough and I even remember thinking she was a boy in her first scene.
