  Timecop 1994

  ★★★½ Watched 24 Sep 2023

  I dug it! Like most time travel movies you can’t think about it too hard. There’s not as much time traveling as I thought there would be, they play around with it in the first act a little but it just sticks to 1994 and 2004 for the rest of the movie. 

  The doubles practical effects are great! Time travel ripple look was cool.

His latest film Men (2022) dives headfirst into full on allegory territory, and is destined to be divisive and heavily discussed for a long time.

  Jessie Buckley plays Harper, a young woman who has just exited a toxic marriage to her ex-husband…

  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 03 May 2022 3

  There is a moment, about halfway through this film, where you can pinpoint the exact second where the Disney suits said, "Alright Sam Raimi, you can do whatever you want now that we have all of our contractually obligated by-the-books exposition out of the way!" and off Raimi goes like a demon unleashed from Hell. They essentially let him make half of a horror movie with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), and that horror film is really…
