  The Monkey 2025

  ★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  "The monkey that likes killing our family...its back" is perhaps the best line of dialogue ever written. It sold this movie to me. But...and correct me if I'm wrong...it was not actually in the movie itself! It was solely a trailer line. Which is just a travesty.

  Elevator Game 2023

  ★★ Watched 15 Sep 2023

  I absolutely loved Glorious so when I saw Rebekah McKendry was making the Elevator Game I was inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. If she could make a movie about elder gods set entirely in a rest stop bathroom work, why not an elevator. Elevator Game just doesn't work though. It's competent, but not much else. Not sure if this proves that the success of Glorious lays with the great performances from JK Simmons and Ryan Kwanten…
