  Silent Night 2023

  ★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2023

  👍Basic revenge plot laid the groundwork for John Woo's trademark frenzied action, albeit lower on his spectrum. His usual visual flair was on full display, actually eclipsed by the crafty sound editing. Tinges of dark humor played like a slight parody of the vigilante fantasy and even Woo himself.

  Godzilla Minus One 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Nov 2023

  👍Embodied everything right about the franchise: awe-inspiring spectacle, rich social commentary, & thrilling mayhem! Godzilla's design was especially terrifying, his iconic roars booming with intensity! The grand production design & somber score, effective in their own right, were fully immersive in the IMAX presentation!

  The Fuzz 2013

  ★★★½ Watched 03 Nov 2014

  I'm a sucker for anything involving puppets, so this didn't take much to win me over. It's humor & social commentary on discrimination are obvious, but that's part of the charm. I marked hard for Gene Snitsky as a henchman near the end!

  Tyranno's Claw 1994

  ★★★★ Watched 21 Jun 2020

  👍Unique cash-in on JURASSIC PARK features no dialogue (just cavemen grunts & dinosaur screeches). Most of the effects are impressive, some are unintentionally hilarious; all of them put a smile on my face! My favorite was the peeping tom dino that roared like a squeak toy! This is the kind of weird cinema I live for!
