  Prisoners 2013

  ★★★★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  How I had not heard of this movie until quite recently is beyond me. One of the better written, acted, and photographed films I've seen for a bit. Villanueve's Prisoners oozes eerie vibes and cryptic imagery. I described it to my wife as True Detective season 1 meets David Fincher in his prime. I might have to add this one to my ever growing list of favorites. 

  Final Score: 4.8/5 ⭐️

  Martyrs 2008

  ★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025

  This film starts brutal and ends brutal. All gas, no brakes. An agonizing ride through the tortured pysche of its characters. Nearly unbearable film to watch, but the plotting and set up is too good to look away.

  Final Score: 3.3/5 ⭐️

  Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me 1992

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Jan 2025 1

  The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy --The Log Lady

  Having some pretext and an understanding of a lot of the more cryptic images and symbolism makes Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me an easier pill to swallow. For those who are unfamiliar with Lynch's humor and unique storytelling style; this is going to be a rough viewing. 

  The film is a really great prequel and companion to the television…

  The Void 2016

  ★★★½ Watched 02 Feb 2025 2

  Fun as hell Lovecraftian body horror that I'd most likely watch again. I love it when I go into a horror film with low expectations and it pays off as well as The Void does. There's a lot to enjoy in this movie but the practical effects and design of the monster animatronics are the stand out. There isn't enough of these types of creature features out there anymore. 

  Final Score: 3.8/5 ⭐️
