  Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster 1964

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Oct 2022 2

  "Godzilla's saying, 'We have no reason to help humans, humans are always bullying us.' Rodan says he agrees"
  Thanks to Tomoyuki Tanaka and Eiji Tsuburaya, this is probably my favorite of the Toho monster films since the first Godzilla. Apparently it was their decision to add more comedy into the franchise, humanize Godzilla, and turn him into the hero instead of the villain. The scene where the guy bargains down from 700 yen to 200 yen to retrieve a tourist's…

  An American Werewolf in London 1981

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 31 Jul 2021 1

  "The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It's boring! I'm lonely! Kill yourself, David, before you kill others."
  This is the film (along with Fargo and Dr. Strangelove) that comes to mind when I think of a black comedy. Perfectly trading between extreme violence and hilarious situatonal comedy. Much weirder and more random than I remember, I'm surprised a film like this was actually made with a decent budget. It constantly switches between soap opera romance,…

  I have to work on not giving films five stars the first time I watch them.
  I love everything about this masterpiece and it's honestly directed and performed to near perfection.

  Zoolander 2 2016

  ★★½ Watched 28 May 2023

  Somehow weirder and more confusing than the first, except the weirdness and confusion is usually not really in a good way.
  I definitely liked parts of it, I laughed out a loud a few times and am a little shocked by the rating scale being that extreme towards the low end. For me, I'm sold by the leads. They have great chemistry, but Stiller is noticeably giving a worse performance (still decent) compared to the first one and in my…

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 May 2023 1

  gorgeous, mesmerizing, creative as all hell and paired with a top tier performance from Nic Cage.
  Imma have to review this next rewatch especially given I may have been slightly too stoned for the first 75% of it

  Freddy vs. Jason 2003

  ★★★★★ Watched 11 Nov 2020 3

  "Being dead wasn't a problem, but being forgotten, now that's a BITCH"
  I wouldn't go as far as to put this film on the same level as Rob Zombie's Halloween II. Halloween II is a misunderstood modern masterpiece. Freddy vs. Jason is a film that caters to all my personal horror needs. One is a critically disliked masterpiece and one is a critically disliked movie that I fucking love.
  Anyway, why did I give this seemingly stupid cash grab five…
