I was hoping that a follow-up to a movie I remember liking quite a bit might not be a disappointment, and yet…sigh. I’m still down, I’m still not feeling talkative, and I definitely wasn’t impressed with this film.
Read more...I’m really hoping that before the end of the year there will be at least one more film that gets me talking.
Read more...I thought watching some more scary movies would somehow make me more talkative, but it hasn’t.
Read more...I like this movie quite a bit, despite it doing that stupid thing of showing a scene from later in the film at the very beginning. Stop that! It’s not necessary! It definitely wasn’t necessary here!
Read more...I liked this one more than I expected, but since I’m still watching this post-election (as opposed to yesterday’s movie which I actually watched pre-election), I’ve got very little to say.
Read more...I worry it’s going to be difficult to say too much about this movie without spoiling it, but I’m going to try, because I liked it more than I anticipated.
Read more...I’m going to be so honest right now that I’m watching this the day after the US presidential election and I am certain that’s having a major impact on how I feel about this film…but I found it so weird and funny and entertaining.
Read more...I don’t really have too much to say about this one either. It’s another that had a neat concept and could’ve been more interesting than it was, but falters a bit in execution.
Read more...I so badly wanted to like this movie way more than I did. It has such a clever name! I love the idea of it! Even the performances are pretty good! But something about the execution here just isn’t it.
Read more...So, I originally found this film when I wanted to watch the 1999 movie Memorial Day for the Memorial Day holiday, but unfortunately couldn’t find it streaming ANYWHERE. There were a few places that had the DVD for sale, and I bought it! But I wasn’t sure if it would ship in time…plus there’s another movie by the same name from the same year, and I was a little worried I’d accidentally get THAT movie instead…
Well, I DID get the (correct) movie in time! But I already watched this movie just in case. It came up when I was searching for other Memorial Day horror movies. I don’t think it’s exactly on theme for today (though the main character is a veteran!), but it’ll work. Plus it has Larry Fessenden and Ethan Embry, so it seemed somewhat promising? And it’s available on streaming platforms.
Read more...So this was…certainly a movie. And not a very good one. Nor was it a very original one.
Read more...I originally watched this way back in 2016 and was going to write about it for the original run of this site, but there was some distribution issue and I wasn’t sure it was technically available anywhere so I put it aside and am finally getting back around to it.
Read more...Okay, I was…hesitant to watch this, because it’s a two and a half hour movie, but it IS Mike Flanagan (AND Stephen King), and I watched The Shining last time around, so it had to be included here. And I’m glad it was.
