    After liking (but not loving) X, I am shocked to say I adored this. Forget tone - this is a completely different subgenre of horror, one that blends character-driven drama and slasher elements with the pacing and atmosphere of a psychological thriller. The writing here is much tighter (no doubt partially due to Goth's involvement as a co-writer), the direction, cinematography, and color of the film are pristine, and above all, Goth gives a career-defining performance that makes it difficult…

    Based on the trailer and the first 20 minutes, I honestly wasn't sure how I would feel about Skinamarink. But after that first act, something shifted. I watched the film alone with the lights off, which helped me to immerse myself in the experience, and depite the fact that this is largely shots of household items and liminal spaces with grain overlay, a number of scenes genuinely scared me more than any horror film I've ever scene.

    Skinamarink is primal…

    Technological and sexual perversion! Medical espionage and body horror! MOOD! Even when my man is grieving, he is playing the HITS!

    Friday the 13th

    ★★★★

    Honestly breaks almost no new ground from a victim/character standpoint and the dialogue is so bad that you almost have to believe it's intentional, BUT...survivalist Jason going on the franchise's most brutal killing spree should be enough for any F13 fan to get what they want out of this. Full of homages to the original franchise that DON'T simply feel like fan service. Big, dumb, dated, mean fun. Need a new one ASAP.

    Marc Maron: From Bleak to Dark

    ★★★★½

    I don't think I've ever seen a set closer to classic Carlin. Maron's always been talented, but he really used this hour to take tragedy (both global and personal) and transform it into some of the darkest and funniest bits of his career. "Anti-Woke" comedians should be taking notes.

    ★★★½

    Being a Kevin Smith fan is kind of like being a Weezer fan. There's been a lot of ups and a lot of downs, but growing up with his work, it's almost just comforting to know he's still at it. I would say this missed about as often as it hit, but I also pretty much smiled throughout the entire thing. It's a shell of what's come before, but the heart is still there, and that was enough for me. I had a lot of fun.
