Bio: I'm just a guy who loves movies. Even when I find one I don't necessarily like, if it's at least well made, I can still respect it. I tend to judge a movie primarily on it's story; whether or not I was drawn in and kept interested till the end.

| 73 37% | The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (2023) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"A solid account of our willingness to provide anyone with a spotlight as long as we can find a way to condone their actions. Kai is not a person to be admired or emulated, but he's nonetheless fascinating and sympathetic."

| 84 76% | Into the Deep (2020) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"You have to admire the documentarians for rolling with the story as it took a sharp dive from being a puff piece on an engineering genius to an expose on a cruel, horrific murder. That the cameras had always been around Marsden is chilling to comprehend, as they proved vital in his conviction. It's a story that goes from compelling, to haunting, all from the direct POV of those who thought this man was a hero and had to learn what a monster he really was."

| 90 92% | Lover, Stalker, Killer (2024) - Rated 20 Feb 2024
"Netflix really has become the kingpin of true crime documentaries! This is definitely up there among their best thanks to its creative editing style, the way it perfectly puts you in the shoes of this poor guy, and delivers its conclusion in an incredibly effective way. It's a story of depravity and obsession and cruelty and it definitely deserves to be seen, as it's the only way you might ever believe it."

| 75 42% | Dave Chappelle: The Dreamer (2023) - Rated 28 Jan 2024
"Easily Chappelle's weakest special. Too few of his jokes come full circle like they have in the past, and while I understand his commitment to freedom of expression, it honestly just feels needlessly petty the way he continues to focus on the trans community. Credit to delivering another powerful message about perseverance and following ones dream both through earnest insight and comedy, but the cohesion between the jokes was a bit off and overall it just felt less impactful than past specials."

| 80 60% | Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) - Rated 15 Jan 2024
"Somehow delivers a sense of hope despite the absolutely, brutally bleak tone. There's something to be said about the opening taking the time to really establish Bradley's character before he gets imprisoned; it had it's slow, boring moments, but it definitely pays off in the end. Of course the violence is what accentuates the story, and it's fittingly horrific in the best ways. Don't know if I'll ever watch it again but that one viewing will stick with me for a while!"

| 88 88% | Society of the Snow (2023) - Rated 07 Jan 2024
"An amazingly effective depiction of an unbelievably inspiring story!"
|
| 59 15% | Rebel Moon (2023) - Rated 27 Dec 2023
"It's literally just a Star Wars ripoff universe with the plot of Seven Samurai. I've never seen such a blatant ripoff in these recent years. Nothing is original; the characters, alien designs, story, every single element can be traced back to something else that did it way better. I honestly feel like the only thing that had a solid, complete and compelling arc in this entire movie was the villain's weapon, which says a lot considering it's just a stick."

| 95 98% | Sly (2023) - Rated 23 Dec 2023
"Never write this man off as just another slugger or a bum who got lucky. The man is an artist, a truly dedicated writer and an inspiration story we can all take something from!"
