Godzilla as a horror movie has got me questioning what the hell I am consuming when I watch Godzilla as action movies. Minus One does a fantastic job of showing the absolute horror and destruction caused by the titular monster. What does it say when we enjoy watching the monsters fight one another? When we stop giving a shit about the destruction being caused. When I was watching Godzilla and King Kong beat the shit out of one another in…

Us 2019
Man this movie is something else. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. This movie is riddled with foreshadowing and it also feels meticulously crafted even though not everything is explained. Get Out is a much different movie. It is straightforward and spoon feeds the story and even the themes in an easily digestible way. Us on the other hand decides not to explicitly answer all questions but seems to provide just enough information taunting you to figure…

Boy Kills World 2023
I wanted to like it way more than I actually did. I feel like I actually liked most if not all of the individual elements of this movie but the whole thing just does not come together at all. A shorter run time probably would have helped because it does feel like it drags and gets repetitive which is a bummer to say about such a stylish over-the-top action movie.

The Deliverance 2024
I can see peeks of what Lee Daniels was going for but boy oh boy does it not come together. Would have been better served completely separating it as being based on anything. Glenn Close is super entertaining in this role but in real life the grandmother was black so all the family dynamics that the film was interested in exploring weren't rooted in this particular true life story. So why adapt it all?
I find it strange because there…

Hellboy 2019
It felt like an incoherent mess that just jumps from scene to scene. The characters get no development and they both spend too much time saying “hey remember when we did that thing” but also not enough. It lacks confidence and doesn’t know what it wants to be leaving it feeling aimless. That said, the very very final action scene is really good, if they had made the whole movie with that vibe and tone the movie would have been great.

Mandy 2018
What the fuck. How do you take a premise so interesting and make it the most boring piece of shit ever? The first 55 minutes of this film could have been cut completely and the movie would have actually been better for it. There is a 2/5 film hidden somewhere in here that tighter editing could have revealed but as it stands it is just a complete and total slog to get through. There is a quick flash of brilliance…
