Scooby-Doo (2002)

Rating: 40
Percentile: 11.3636
Review: Frequently cringeworthy, it tries to be a faithful Scooby-Doo story at times, but often reeks of typical live action adaptation crap. Terrible script, random romantic interests, and only occasionally passable humor. Tonally dissonant between childish antics and frathouse gags. Upside, the actors and energy of the scenes do it justice. Cool sets, but the CG looks awful.

Wildwood (2026)

Rating: 90
Percentile: 98.8636
Review: A treat for the eyes and the heart in every scene. Wildwood is impressive, and remembering that every frame is hand-posed lends oneself to frequent awe. The story is much better than most kid-focused films, but still borrows several of their tropes. Music is good, acting is powerfully authentic, and the drama gets its due.

It Follows (2015)

Rating: 30
Percentile: 3.4091
Review: No clue what the good reviews are about, It Follows is boring, uninspired, unscary nonsense. Bad acting, directing, editing, writing, just about everything. Audio/music are decent, and some shots are cool, but I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. There's already a low bar for serviceable story and fear factor in horror, and they limboed both.

The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Rating: 70
Percentile: 42.0455
Review: Totally uninitiated going into this, but as soon as you see the rooftop agent, it's basically an open book test. Wish the background plot was way more subtle and sparse, though it remains a worthwhile twist on the genre. Humor was a pretty even ratio of funny to annoying. A love letter to horror that doesn't really have a point to make and falls pretty flat at the end, but showcases some gruesome scenes in the meantime.

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Rating: 70
Percentile: 42.0455
Review: First view, theatrical. Better than expected. For me, most tension came from social conflict, not the mediocre supernatural spooks. Outdated, ill-fitting tropes like innocuous nature noises and giggling children. Some unsettling scenes, but always stops short of a real scare. Convincing acting, but it's like the men shifted and traded personalities continuously in Act 2. I can see why Blair Witch was so believable in 1999, even if it takes naïvete bordering on gullible.

Review: Hilarious, frenetic, stylish, inventive, most every scene is some fresh joy. The perfect young millennial pop culture cocktail. Fantastic soundtrack, amazing cast, sizzling synergy in each scene. VFX are sometimes dated, some scenes are impossibly cool and memorable, doing both comics and anime justice. The plot barely exists, and is at its best hyping up dramatic moments, and at worst, gets in the way of the more entertaining cutaways and side gags. Maybe my 5th viewing, just as funny too.

Rating: 70

Review: After the prologue, it shows all the stripes of a run of the mill coed horror movie, stilted dialogue, and predictable setup included. By contrast, the rest has little to no CG, sexual fanservice, nor an abrupt or cheap ending, but an orchestrated fountain of blood and adrenaline. I cringed and twitched several times throughout!

Review: Director's Cut. You want an ensemble cast, big sets, production value, and unabashed machismo in a no-frills action romp? You got it. Don't ask for more, because the most you'll get is O'Toole in the only substantive emotional beat in the film.

The Brink of War (2026)

Rating: 60
Percentile: 19.3182
Review: The historical reenactment of diplomatic negotiations is more entertaining than I assumed. It still feels like a Hallmark movie, with people exchanging cheesy quotes and utterly irrelevant, worthless subplots involving immature staffers and First Lady catfights. The two leads aren't bad, but their performances are just a bit off, with British leaking into a Russian accent and Daniels not quite filling the shoes of Reagan. While still heavily biased, American hypocrisy and foibles are shown.

Review: 4K dub. I go back and forth whether this film is great or just solid, and the latter wins out this time. It still looks fantastic, but some parts still have shudder or oddly low frame rate which I'd hope a remaster would fix. The story can feel messy or boring, but ultimately it's a decent Loser Turned Psycho flick. Animation, music, style, superb. There's no taking those away.

Paddington in Peru (2024)

Rating: 65
Percentile: 28.4091
Review: Paddington in Peru gave me some laughs but overall, pretty bland. Plot basically makes no sense and the actors know it. It gets points for being simple, sweet, and low-stimulation, which is more than most kids movies can say these days. Some bad green screen at the end, but otherwise visually solid.

Review: Is it cinema? No. But it does use a classic formula in some unique ways, keeps some surprises hidden behind its angsty dialogue, and features an all-star cast that's so weird to see together that it works. Fun horror flick.

Review: More in depth interviews with the band would have been great, but as a concert film, it's everything you want. Well edited, spectacular footage and performance, and the music sounds like you're right there. The fans pour their heart and soul into their soundbites and it makes you wanna clink a glass and sing along. Watch this with a fellow Oasis fan or close enough.

Review: Solidly enjoyable tale of dangerously desperate men, but still has some rough edges from the time it was made. Pacing can feel off, like characters will grow gradually and naturally sometimes, and act utterly crazy out of nowhere. Lines are read extremely fast, like a school play with everyone waiting for their cue, leading to unrealistic conversations. It's of its time, but better than most, and with a good lesson on putting gold above dignity and life. Good shots, acting, and antagonists.

Review: Great music, cinematography, and mostly great acting. The problem is that each act is a downgrade on the last, and the story told through all three doesn't amount to much. The romance is absurdly unrealistic and underdeveloped. A movie centered on identity that struggles to depict it much or authentically. The child actors and their parental figures are fantastic, but troubled writing stymies their performance.

Review: It's damning to leave a theater thinking "coulda been a short film." HotB has a simple premise, scant dialogue/growth, and overrelies on its aesthetic duo. Outdated, inauthentic CG animals ruin the boreal setting, but other visuals are great. Flashbacks were unnecessary, repetitive, and the last monologue is too corny to sound natural. The element of insurmountable odds is well executed, but the writing seems designed like cheesy social media clickbait. Film has nothing to say but "good dog."

Review: A nearly comprehensive look at Elon's 30yr in the public eye and every grift, lie, fortune, and delusion in it. Doesn't miss the mark on why he is how he is, and where he'll go from here. The interviewees are phenomenal, with all this footage and info edited perfectly for a 3hr doc (with intermission). Rare to say, but all should see this movie. Just wish they toned down the animated interludes and completely replaced the AI Musk voicing his quotes.

Review: Director's Cut. More spectacle than substance, but still an interesting turn on the classic holy hypocrite trope. Sets, costumes, ensembles are magnificent. Writing keeps things interesting but is messy to a fault. Every 20min, some new freak joins the story and competes for the camera, adding to the chaotic hysteria and degeneracy that got this film banned and censored. Despite its wild romp, serious lessons on the dangers of civil manipulation, church and state, and inner corruption are told.

Review: No idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. YMYMYM has fantastic acting, no one phones it in. The absurd or unexplained story elements are done well, but just don't fully fit this relatively grounded story about sole parenthood, faith, and a life of crime. Ali and his connections to family, community, and the world feel very real. Every setback he meets, you do too. FYI, some knowledge of Muslim practices is required to understand terminology and minor events.

Review: Second viewing, 4k remaster. A beautiful, touching film, but its titular character and Wonderland tale are a rather small subplot behind the superb human world drama. Connections are sparse, so it feels like two movies spliced. Visuals, audio, acting, shots are top notch. Some CG looks bad, practical FX and sets are amazing. Deeply impressed by main cast and their emotional range.
