I’m Gonna be Fine
The Waiting Review
It has been quite a while since my last review here. While I started off the new year strong, I am sad to say that my last post was over a month ago. I’m not sure if this one will kick me back into review overdrive, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. So, after weeks of intention, let me stall no further as I dive into F.C. Rabbath’s 2020 film, The Waiting. The Plot Eager to turn his life around after a recent break-up and countless failed dates, Eric (Nick Leali, A Brilliant Monster) can’t wait … Read More
I Love Your Black Weiner, Mr. Daniels
Freaky Review
When I was younger, I did not like horror comedies one bit. I felt like the two genres should stay far away from one another and never be melded into this weird funny bloody mess. As I grew older, however, I realized the error of my ways and now I find myself seeking the next best film that fits the bill quite often. Read on to see how Christopher Landon’s Freaky compares to some of the greats we’ve seen over the years. The Plot A fabled serial killer known as The Blissfield Butcher has returned to wreak havoc during homecoming … Read More

Happy Times Review
I’ve never been one to plan many things ahead of time. My life is pretty routine, but when I veer off path and do things out of the ordinary, I like for them to be spontaneous. I guess the same can be said for my movie viewing. Every time I try to plan out the next few films I’m going to watch, a new one comes out of nowhere and squeezes its way into said schedule. That is exactly what happened with Michael Mayer’s 2019 film, Happy Times. The Plot A couple invite their friends and family over for a … Read More

Come Play Review
For the last few weeks I’ve been concerned with [but horribly failing at] checking out a bunch of the horror films that I missed in 2020. I have compiled a list of movies that are being talked about in all sorts of “best of” articles, videos, and more, but it seems that there are some pretty decent ones that no one is really discussing. Read on to learn how Jacob Chase’s Come Play stacks up to the rest of the pack. The Plot Desperate for a friend, Oliver (Azhy Robertson, Marriage Story), a lonely boy who feels different from everyone … Read More
I Think They Need Help
Synchronic Review
As an avid film fan, I am in no way discriminatory when it comes to choosing which movie to watch. That is to say that I will watch any movie by any filmmaker. Still, like everyone else, there are some directors that I get more excited about than others. I am only human, after all. From that handful of directors, two that are very high on the list are Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson. Needless to say, I was very anxious to get my hands on their newest film, Synchronic. The Plot When New Orleans paramedics and longtime best friends … Read More

Giant From the Unknown Review
In the introduction to my last review, I made mention of the fact that there are plenty of films from 2020 that I still needed to catch up on. I’ve since been able to give one or two a watch, but decided to travel back in time a bit further with today’s write-up. Back to the 50s to be exact. Read on to hear my thoughts on Richard E. Cunha’s 1958 sci-fi horror, Giant From the Unknown. The Plot After a rash of inexplicable crimes to both animal and human alike, an archaeologist and his daughter, along with a scientific … Read More
