    The Green Inferno

    ★½

    I didn’t want to see it and after watching it I still didn’t want to have seen it. It was both disturbing and felt disingenuous at the same time and I could never find myself involved with story because the acting never really sold me at any point so I spent more time wondering what the whole point of this was.

  • Wolf Man

    Wolf Man

    ★★★

    A family is attacked in the forests of Oregon by a literal Wolf Man.

    Stripped down story, beautiful location, well executed scares. I really enjoy Whannell's way of breaking down the classic Universal Monster into a modern concept that just gives you enough of the core IP to hang on to. The underlying conceit was stronger in Invisible Man, but this isn't bad and it feels like a little too much was edited out to make the final film feel…

    Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol

    ★½

    A group of wacky average citizens are trained in police procedure by a bunch of wacky former police recruits.

    I loved this series of movies back when I was younger and they all still hold fondness in my memory, I still maintain the first two are pretty good and easily rewatchable, but as I am rewatching these films and arrive at installment four I don't think I ever realized how overtly repetitive they are.

    Like this series simply just does…

    Lots of stuff dies tonight, but it sure ain't evil.
