Annihilation is a film that creeps up on you that starts about as normal as you'd expect any other film by any other person to be, and slowly becomes not only weirder, but creepier. A lot of it has to do with the fact you don't expect this movie to turn into a horror. I... Continue Reading →
I was a bit worried watching this because I'd consumed many of the best skits and gags this movie has to offer before seeing the film itself. Thankfully, I'm happy to say the context the film gave these skits let me laugh just as much as I did the first time I saw them. The... Continue Reading →
I've never been much of a Kong fan. I admire the special effects of the earlier movies, laugh at Toho's iteration of the character with a beer in hand, and always thought Peter Jackson's movie, while good, overstayed it's welcome. Then Kong Skull Island happened. And if you know anything about how I like my... Continue Reading →
Wrath of isn't quite as bizzare as it's 2010 predecessor, which is a bad movie so entertaining you can't help but enjoy it. Wrath is actually decent. Not good. But decent.

But mostly, it's about a romance side plot wherein he must choose between his dream career and dream girl, which could have... Continue Reading →
I don't normally say this before film reviews, but this is not the kind of film you want spoiled. Reading everything I'm going to put here will likely undermine your own experience of the film. Now, on with the review: I'm Thinking of Ending Things might be one of the saddest films I've seen. It... Continue Reading →
This is such a weird movie. It's 2 hours and 40 minutes long and for once I find myself saying that if this movie wanted to work, it definitely needed to be longer. There is just so much stuffed into it that I occasionally forgot members of the cast existed. Routinely someone would show up... Continue Reading →
Doctor Strange 2 (as I'll be referring to it for brevity), is the first MCU instalment to surprise me since Avengers Infinity War was released in 2018. Mainly because it tries to switch things up with the tone. It tries very hard to lean into the cosmic horror aspects of travelling alternate realities, and sometimes... Continue Reading →
