Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) - Rated 14 Nov 2025
It's hardly a horror movie, and feels a lot more "literary" than the first one, if that makes sense. I think its biggest problem is that it had to follow a movie as groundbreaking as The Exorcist. It just can't really be done. That'd be like if someone tried to make a Godfather 2. Oh....... wait.

Ballerina (2025) - Rated 08 Nov 2025
To my surprise, I think I would have enjoyed it more if there was less of John Wick in it. Other than that, it makes great strides in adding onto the silliness of an already extremely silly world of super-wealthy secret assassins who seem to just spend their whole lives trying to assassinate each other. Who knew they were such a huge slice of the global job market?

Him (2025) - Rated 28 Oct 2025
Mostly felt like I was watching a 90-minute trailer for the movie. So much of the editing and overall pacing is so quick that there's no time for anything shocking to really sink in. I can't decide if the finale is hilarious or just a really hamfisted obvious non-resolution.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) - Rated 28 Oct 2025
Well, it's another pretty-good MCU movie. The retro-future aesthetic is kind of cool I guess. Other than that it's all pretty paint-by-numbers.

Inferno (1980) - Rated 21 Oct 2025
It's absolute nonsense, and I wonder how much of the humor is intentional. I have no idea what the villains' goals were, but they seem to highly overestimate all of their potential enemies. They're all easily killed off until the only character left is a guy who quite literally wandered in halfway through the movie, missed all the exposition, and has no idea who any of these other people are or why he should care. It's either brilliantly funny, or accidentally brilliantly funny.

Ick (2024) - Rated 21 Oct 2025
I sought this out after seeing and loving Detention, thinking maybe Joseph Kahn was an underrated genius. I saw Detention as an amazing parody of "teen" horror cash-grabs that say "How do you do, fellow kids?" but Ick feels like exactly what Detention was parodying, and I'm worried it's going to make me view the older movie in a less favorable light. I'm pretty sure I caught some already-dated jokes about covid in there too.

The Amityville Horror (1979) - Rated 21 Oct 2025
Anytime I watch a movie that's "based on a true story" I'm always trying to look through the movie at what the real events probably were. Like MAYBE the house was haunted, or maybe a few unstable people all had similar delusions around the same time. MAYBE there was a room full of a terrifying amount of flies, or maybe they had a bad pest infestation. MAYBE the husband was slowly getting possessed, or maybe he was just in overwhelming debt due to bad business decisions.

The Naked Gun (2025) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
Honestly way better than a legacy sequel like this has any business being. Great visual gags, wordplay, absurdity, no over-reliance on references to the original. It's just self-aware enough to really work.

Baby Assassins (2021) - Rated 22 Sep 2025
There were two pretty good action scenes at the very beginning and very end, and the other ~80 minutes of the movie consisted of painfully unfunny comedy
