    Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva

    ★★★½

    It’s rare that a sequel matches the bar of the original film, and rarer that it improves upon it. Horror in the High Desert 2 expands on the mysteries of the first film without giving too much away, and makes excellent use of the mockumentary style to supplement for video footage as well as interviews to build atmosphere and hint at lore. My only real criticisms are that, unlike Gary in the first film, we don’t spend nearly as much…

    Spider-Man 2

    ★★★★★

    “Sometimes, to do what’s right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.”
    What I love most about Spider-Man 2, and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films as a whole, is the constant thread of heroism as a choice, and one that often comes at great personal expense. But that it’s a choice that, even in small actions, can make the world of difference and carry us through. It’s the movie I needed as a burned out teenager, and it’s certainly the movie I still need burned out and watching it in 2022.
