Beautiful film about capitalist contamination and the delicate balance between humans and nature. Very interesting layers of morality displayed throughout. Does a phenomenal job conveying the magnitude of what is at stake here without telling you directly in its first hour. Evil does not truly exist - but ignorance, negligence, and disrespect for a quick buck sure do.

Pulse 2001
Spooky as hell, way ahead of its time in its prediction of the internet’s effect on human connection.

The anti-La La Land. Naomi Watts gives one of the most perfect performances ever imo.

Just as creative and fun as Hundreds of Beavers if a little less bulletproof in terms of joke hit rate and overall aesthetic cohesion. Still a fun ride for those who enjoy that type of weirdo slapstick humor - and it has multiple lines that had us chuckling hard. I love the Lake Monster costume/effects a lot. Definitely doesn’t hurt that my hometown was one of the filming locations. Living for the Lake X-Press usage (I’ve ridden that boat!). Looking forward to more from this director!
