  • The Twilight Zone: The Movie

    An highlight reel for the Twilight Zone spirit.

  • The Meaning of Life

    A 90 minutes long Flying Circus episode, minus people with military uniforms saying all that was silly. Even though it is.

  • WarGames

    The only winning move is logic-bombing on HAL. Finally the long awaited sequel of The Breakfast Club where the cool girl doesn’t end up depressed.

  • The Dead Zone

    Celibacy is not worth it, it leads to gruesome deaths.

  • Christine

    So much modernity in ‘83. Radio-activated garage doors. 20 years old cars are “classics”. Self-Driving cars, powered by soul-sucking entities that demand you change your personality to conform to their ideals. A bit more bodycount than the Tesla “Autopilot” (so far).

  • Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

    The emotional arc of Vader’s story, intercut with childish teddy bears and a bunch of action scenes of no consequence.

  • Sudden Impact

    The long lost child of Dirty Harry and Death Wish. Combines credentialed murderers in the force, with uncredentialed murderers in the streets. But it’s a rape victim taking revenge, it’s strictly better than Charles Bronson.

  • Psycho II

    God, this is bad, one of those pointless legacy sequels that promise to change things up, and then the final five minutes reset everything back to the start. It’s not as bad as Psycho, though.
