Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers
1988
A fairly decent remake of the first movie. This one actually looks and feels like it was shot in Illinois. . . . .
Rating: β β β
Halloween II

Can we talk about how good of a shot Dr. Loomis is? He put 11 slugs in Michael without missing. . . . .

Boy, Michael really put a damper on the homecoming dance.

Christine

You could tell Carpenter was having fun making this one, although it still suffers from the same split protagonist issue. . . . .

They Live
1988
Not nearly as radical as its reputation suggests, and dare I say it is not even an anti-capitalist movie. You. . . . .

The Flight of the Phoenix

Rehabilitation of Germans as allies alongside orientalist depictions of Arabs as monstrous murderers is what to expect from a liberal. . . . .

Bunch of liberal bullshit.

Rango

I feel like this is becoming a forgotten film, and not without reason β the story is extremely thin, Rango. . . . .

WALLΒ·E

Is the "Wall-E is Satan" theory still in vogue, or are we done with that?

Arrival
2016
Scummy racist bullshit. This is such a flagrantly, violently racist piece of propaganda. It's almost shocking how deeply hateful and. . . . .

Absolutely wild that I had no idea this movie even existed a week ago despite its relatively recent release, cast. . . . .

Jurassic Park

Is this the most satisfying deus ex machina in film?

Last Breath

Wild how the film adaptation of this documentary doubled the amount of bailout oxygen and shortened the time he was. . . . .

Last Breath
2025
I enjoyed this quite a bit. It's simple, straight-forward, no subplots or dilly-dallying. You're with the main throughline the whole. . . . .

The American-ness of this movie is grating on a rewatch, but the drama still holds up well enough. What I. . . . .

Cruel Jaws

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
2005
What Enron did that was so bad, to the plutocrats running the country, was being too open about how shitty. . . . .

Jaws 3-D
1983
Not nearly as bad as its rating suggests.

Underrated John Williams score that is on par or potentially superior to the first film's.

Take Shelter
2011
Still among the greatest movies ever made.

Jurassic World Rebirth

Just imagine if this guy was actually cast as Woody on Cheers.

Incredibly harrowing. Perhaps the best documentary on Operation Northwoods that I've seen yet.

From the director of Kazaam, and the writer of Andor, comes a formulaic yet charming film that probably should not. . . . .

Undeniably silly but in a charming way. Brazenly rewrites history, leaves out key figures, and is (perhaps intentionally) vague about. . . . .

This sucks. It's held up not quite as well as rancid milk spilled on a hot rock in the Arizona. . . . .

Twisters
2024
Why is this actually pretty good? It is not without flaw, however. This dude wants to help people by studying tornadoes. . . . .
