    ★★★★

    Pure, unfiltered, unhinged John Waters.

  • Gladiator II

    Gladiator II

    ★★½

    At its best, it’s goofy, yet spectacular, fun. At its worst, it’s a messy, half-hearted sequel that’s got an A-list casting phoning it in, dodgy CGI, and is so obsessed with its predecessor that it often feels like it’s simply retreading old ground. Paul Mescal and Joseph Quinn are both very fun to watch, which makes it all the more frustrating to see the most beautiful man in the world Pedro Pascal and veterans Denzel Washington and Connie Nielsen so lifeless. In the end, I did have fun with Gladiator II, but I can’t imagine when I would ever feel compelled to watch it again.

    The Blob

    ★★★★

    The Blob (1988) brings plenty of new stuff to the table with all of the incredible effects work while also staying true to its roots. It’s everything I wanted from an updated Blob flick.

    ★★★★★

    If Wild Wild West hadn't perfectly merged steam punk style with the western genre, why hasn't there been anything else like it before or since? Move over, The Magnificent Seven. Favorite movie of all time.
