Foe 2023
This is, by far, the most confused I’ve ever been in a theatre.
As a huge fan of Iain Reid, I knew I wanted to see this thing opening night. I even avoided the trailer so I could go in as blind as possible.
What I could not avoid, however, was the rotten tomatoes score.
15%
Dumbfounded. Utterly, hopelessly dumbfounded.
As soon as I sat in the theatre, I was worried that heartbreak was NOT going to feel good in…

Skinamarink 2022
I’m gonna throw this into the same conversation as Lake Mungo. Both films do something interesting and DEEPLY unsettling in their own respective (and genre bending) ways.
This gets every drop of praise I can give it. Why? Because I found myself genuinely frightened by this thing. Not many films can do that.

Blazing Saddles 1974
I cannot believe what my eyes just saw. Nor what my ears just heard.
This is legitimately the most anti-racist movie ever made. They cast a black man in a leading role of a Mel Brooks film only a decade after the civil rights movement. They made him the smartest character in the film. They made Gene Wilder his sidekick. And they gave him a wardrobe that would make Shaft jealous. They even made fun of nazis and respectfully portrayed…

Making The Leftovers 2014
Using this making of as a place to dump my thoughts about this show.
Season 1:
I found myself in awe from the first frame. Frightening, confounding. Perhaps the feeling is truly indescribable.
Coming from a religious background, I was deeply familiar with the idea of this supposed "Sudden Departure" and have always thought using that as a plot element in a story would be both horrifying, yet interesting to explore.
All I was given was Left Behind. 👎This.…
