A lot of fascinating pieces stitched together… that never quite come alive.
Jessie Buckley is electric, and the gothic world is gorgeous, but the story keeps introducing ideas that never quite connect.
Curious where people land on this one.

Every Thanksgiving I return to the same three movies that feel tied to the day itself. These films shape the rhythm of the holiday for me from morning to night

Keeper lands with one of the strangest energies of the year. The final minutes create a shift that horror fans keep talking about. Here is how it sat with me and why the ending becomes the part no one forgets.

Edgar Wright reshapes The Running Man into something more controlled and more focused on the themes from the Stephen King novel. Here is my take on how it holds up.

Die My Love is bold and fragmented — a film that asks you to live inside someone else’s collapse. I admired the craft, but I never felt the connection, and maybe that was the point.

What happens when Predator trades terror for empathy? Predator: Badlands reshapes the hunt into something heartfelt, a sci-fi adventure about belonging, not survival.

Springsteen’s Deliver Me From Nowhere looks inward at the making of Nebraska—a film that stays steady, reflective, and familiar in the process of creation.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
Full Movie Review
Rose Byrne delivers a performance built on control and empathy in If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You. It’s the kind of work that reminds you how powerful restraint can be.

Bugonia Full Movie Review
If you know Yorgos Lanthimos, you know anything can happen — and Bugonia (2025) proves it.
A conspiracy, a standoff, and a truth that refuses to sit still.

Day 29 of 31 Days of Spooky – The Wailing (2016)
One of the most underseen horror films of its decade, and one that still feels misunderstood.

Day 28 of 31 Days of Spooky – Poltergeist (1982)
This was the first horror movie I ever saw. I was six years old, sitting in a drive-in with my dad, and it terrified me.

Day 26 of 31 Days of Spooky – The Lost Boys (1987)
Before he became known for Gotham and high style, Joel Schumacher turned a beach town into a vampire legend. Part fashion, part rebellion, and all 1980s.

Day 25 of 31 Days of Spooky — my buddy Josh picked this one. C.H.U.D. (1984) isn’t the campy movie the title suggests. It’s a serious look at homelessness, pollution, and how 1980s New York tried to hide both.

Day 24 of 31 Days of Spooky – Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners (1996)
Michael J. Fox caught between the living and the dead. Early Weta Digital magic. A dark, funny, and strangely human ghost story — right before Middle-earth.

Day 23 of 31 Days of Spooky — Near Dark (1987).
Kathryn Bigelow’s first solo feature takes the vampire myth and strips it bare. Addiction, dependency, and small-town survival replace glamour and fantasy.

The film that introduced me to Bong Joon-ho and opened the door to Korean horror.
It’s about family, grief, and the monsters we build ourselves.

Day 18 of 31 Days of Spooky is Pumpkinhead.
The only film Stan Winston ever directed — and for me, it’s personal. The man behind Predator, Aliens, and Jurassic Park showed that even monsters have meaning.

Day 13 of 31 Days of Spooky — Absentia (2011) shows how Mike Flanagan built a career on silence, grief, and a $70K Kickstarter. Proof that story and conviction matter more than budget.
