This is a fantastic film, in all senses of the word. Scott Glenn is clearly making bank on his David Carradine impression.
-
Aren’t those new evangelical churches wacky?
-
Bonnie and Clyde meets Logan’s Run channelling Fight Club. It’s as derivative as this sentence implies.
-
The film where the least ridiculous scene is when a Mustang flips a bus.
-
28 Straw Dogs. It even has Cillian Murphy.
-
What the hell was this about? Did they get the cast together and then came up with a script on the spot? What’s the point of having a testicle-shivering amount of talent without a plot?
-
Weaker gender swapped version of The Brothers Bloom.
-
Freaking ace! Brad Bird gets the helm of the Impossible Mission Franchise and proceeds to do a The Incredibles inspired romp that is a joy to watch.
-
Bog standard “creep invades home of middle class person” horror film. Very modern since the main character rents a bargain home for a “mere” $4k.
-
What a shame that this doesn’t rise above smut.
-
A loose remake of the previous film, but more a spunkgargleweewee, silly sex scenes and a different ending. From meh to yuck.
-
A metal re-imagining of Ghost Rider, without paying the royalties. Metal to the core, y’all are not metal enough for this.
-
Fuggedaboutit, Johnny. It’s Vegas with no name. Yup, it’s a film noir disguised as a Western, and vice versa.
-
The index film for the COVID-19 generation. Wicked sick.
-
Mixed Metaphors: The Movie. Sympathy for the Devil you know from childhood, since you brutally slaughtered baby rabbits with the future Wolfman.
-
300 nicer plots squandered to focus on the bad parts. Holds up visually, as most Tarsem Singh films.
-
Men in Black, as directed by Wes Craven. A low budget version of The Conjuring. How the fuck was Richard Jenkins cast in this, was he representing Hardbodies?
-
This is very bad, in so many ways. Amateurish really, a low rent Deadpool (that’s saying something!). The casting is the worse, Blake Lively should be the action girl and Ryan Reynolds the love interest!
-
Where Do I Begin? Life is Sweet, The Salmon Dance, Snow falls.
-
A Blue Dog corporate Democrat is destined to win the White House and that’s God’s plan, unless he’s content to remain a corporate drone and live with a British dancer in NYC. Out of that horrible premise comes out a nice film.
-
Just a standard Statham flick, with a John Le Carré framing device, some kind of SAS Oman Civil War intervention. Takes a back seat to the wall-to-wall action sequences. Yvonne Strahovski does a mean Australian accent, throwing another shrimp in the barbie.
-
The famous invisible aliens film is not as bad as it seems. Pretty tame for a Timur-adjacent film.
-
This is almost a real film. An actual plot with good actors, drama, cool visuals. It nearly outgrows its dark origins as childish dross, but there’s some specks of horse manure attached to a somewhat polished gemstone.
-
The Fincher version. This is a great thriller, but feels like cultural appropriation to pretend everything is Sweden but speak English with accents. If you want to adapt a story, do it, don’t do this half way.
-
Good grief, the Michael Lewis rot was there from the start. This was even co-written by Aaron Sorkin, for the radical centrist bingo. It was just hidden under the mass of talented actors squeezing blood from a stone.
