  Thunder Road 2018

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jun 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I don't like to think about my mother's death. Of course, that sentiment isnt a unique one; I'm not the only person on the planet that doesn't want their mother to die. But I think I've come closer to reckoning with this unavoidable future than some.

  See, my mom had cancer. Thankfully, she's fine now – it was caught in the early stages and safely removed – but I can't ever forget how it felt to receive that news. Fast…

  Angel's Egg 1985

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Sep 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Maybe no one really exists and it is only raining outside.

  A Man and a Girl sit inside a desolate structure, near the hollow remains of a city forgotten by the world. The Girl cradles an egg – an expectant mother protecting the child within – and the Man recounts the biblical story of Noah, only with an ending sorely lacking the hope and rebirth of the original tale. Not long after, once the Girl is asleep, the Man destroys…

  ★ Watched 23 Sep 2023

  At this point, if a found-footage movie is bad, I don't see any reason to deign it with an actual review.

  The Descent 2005

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 03 Sep 2023 1

  One of the only horror movies in history to (on my first viewing) leave me breathlessly terrified. Not as scary on this watch, but still left me with my pulse racing and my palms sweaty. Fucking incredible film.

  Megalopolis

  Watched 17 Feb 2022

  My boy Frankie C is officially the ballsiest filmmaker in the world for this one.

  120 million dollars. Out of pocket. On a movie that in all likelihood will fail monetarily. What a fucking madman. I'll take 120 million tickets, please.

  The Batman 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2022

  Stunning. Masterful. Completely deserving of a three hour runtime. The Batman is the purest form of our favorite edgy vigilante yet put to the big screen, with Robert Pattinson delivering a Dark Knight who is still searching for a reason, a way to make a difference in his city; a Dark Knight whose career as a "hero" hasn't even begun; a Dark Knight who cares more about vengeance than about being a symbol for the people of Gotham to believe…
