    Get Out

    ★★★★★

    I've wanted to watch this one for a long time, but never got around to it until tonight. Goddamn.

    The writing, the cinematography, the editing, the acting, the pacing, the casting... all amazing.

    I understand why Get Out made people go, "Oh, Jordan Peele knows what the fuck he's doing." Yep, he does.

    One of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

    Greener Grass

    ★★★

    Okay look, there were definitely moments where I laughed out loud; bordering on scream-laughing even. But like... when it was over, I didn't understand what Greener Grass was trying to say... or be...

    It made me kinda start to question my media literacy. But the folks I watched it with are also conversant in film and nobody really got it.

    I'm not saying it's bad, it just has the narrative structure of a story a six-year-old would make up on the fly.

    Dark and Stormy Night

    ★★★★½

    Dark and Stormy Night distills the comic essence of old dark house movies every bit as effectively as The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra does the sci-fi/horror B movies of the 50s.

    I'll always have an extra special place in my heart for Lost Skeleton, but this is also a heck of a good time. It may even be a bit more accessible, as it leans less on the audience's knowledge of genre tropes while still rewarding such knowledge.

    Pairs well with an enormous bowl of popcorn.
