Anyone note how fugly this movie is? It's a desaturated teal-and-orange fest, with entire sequences comprised of no more than minor variations of the two color tones. Combine this with an...

One of last year's best, available streaming on Netflix for those in the U.S. Not only is it dramatically devastating and thematically thorny as fuck, but it's a formal masterwork, and mordantly...

This is amusing enough as a whole, but it's inferior to the last two Lin entries, and frankly, I expected better from Wan; it turns into a bit of a slog after the Etihad towers sequence, the home...

C'mon folks, really? Still my #1 for the year.

This was much better than that Furious movie everyone is flipping out over. I used to be skeptical, but I'm now firmly on the Collet-Serra train.

Went into this with an anti-Iñárritu axe to grind, greased by the mini-backlash that has been building amidst the critical circles I follow, but I found it to be a surprisingly slippery beast, and an...

I've been watching some horror stuff this month that I'll go over soon, but in the meantime, I just wanted to express how exciting it is to finally really get a highly acclaimed film. My first...

Regarding Gordon, I'd recommend King of the Ants, Dagon, and The Pit and the Pendulum as some of his undervalued efforts.

Chuck Russell's remake of The Blob is available on Blu-ray for a limited time, as only 5,000 units are being printed. The price is a bit steep, but I couldn't resist.

Much better? I wonder why they'd say that. I prefer the director's cut.

Stuart Gordon tried to raise money through Kickstarter for a film adaptation of Nevermore but I don't recall it ever being close to making its projection, which is surely a pity, but to be frank, the...

I love it, but most of the people around here feel... well, the opposite of love.

I like Zombie's Halloween duo a lot, I was among the first to defend them, but Carpenter's film is an all-time favorite, easily among my top ten horror. The best sequel in the original series is...

You may have been the only person who listened when I recommended Penumbra a few years back DaMu, so it's nice to see that I'm not his only fan around here.

I walked out of this with very mixed but generally positive thoughts. After reading all sorts of thought-provoking reviews and think-pieces, I'm convinced that I'm either overrating or underrating...

It's probably more likely to be noticed around here.

I'm not a fan of Watkins, but his films are technical marvels. Kudos on the Bogliano thoughts, I've seen the same films and a short of his that...

They are being made available as both individual releases as well as through an anthology, which I just purchased for a solid price off Amazon for those interested. I'd be interested in the Halloween...

Eraserhead, and that 4K release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a considerable improvement over previous releases.

Ahh fuck it, a mild yay. A film out of time, I'm struck by how so many critics have lazily reduced its ideology to reactionary luddism (its clunky storytelling on the other hand is fair game), when...

This is best when it stops smugly reminding us that it's shooting fish in a barrel and embraces the ZAZ-style anarchy to which it is clearly indebted. Unfortunately, too much of this doesn't work for...

First yay? This features the year's best sex scene, the best gonzo Eva Green performance, and the best fat man comically erupting into a fireball. The action is good too once you get over how fake...

The Eva Green hype is justified, whereas the remainder of the film plays like very intermittently inspired but mostly tired B-sides to the original picture. Remember the Mickey Rourke comeback kid...

This is a very good horror movie that, for all its comparatively minor flaws, should serve as a model for lazy low-budget horror hacks.

Only two MCers have watched this? I liked it better than expected, its very charming surface pleasures masking one of Allen's more resonant recent disquisitions on his usual thematic preoccupations.

And I love that Curtains cover.

Duke was too busy watching Red to notice the good stuff this week. (just joshin')
