Most pirate movies focus on the sea. This one focuses on bullet and blades on land. It's not bad. The Bluff is a solid bit of R-rated action on Amazon Prime. #thebluff #moviepodcast #actionmovies scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

Shelter While Shelter is generally effective action flick, it lacks the same punch as Statham's best.

Another year, another Jason Statham flick. But does Shelter do anything to distinguish itself in the action star's filmography? I discuss the British bad-ass latest. #shelter #moviepodcast #actionmovies scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/shel...

The Housemaid Graciously filling a niche that Hollywood has been missing, The Housemaid is the exact kind of trashy fun, I've been hoping for.

Turns out there's still an appetite for over-the-top thrillers...including me. #TheHousemaid is a lot of fun. #moviepodcast #bookadaptation scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

Blue Moon While Ethan Hawke's central performance is enough to recommend the movie, Blue Moon could use more of the same incisive wit as its main subject.

45 kids and untold relatives of these kids are now grieving.

And still they are like, but wait, we don't have enough evidence.

The Rip With enough cast chemistry and tension to sustain itself, The Rip easily overcomes its narrative and action shortcomings.

Sometimes watching two good friends on-screen together is all you need. #TheRip is a solid little crime movie. #Netflix #moviepodcast scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

A brilliant Barda!

Bone Lake While the execution doesn't hit its stride until later, Bone Lake is a novel take on the erotic thriller/horror flick.

Something's not right about this AirBnb....I'm gonna say it's the two weirdos who just showed up. #BoneLake has an intriguing premise with a few missteps. #moviepodcast #horrormovies scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/bone...
