  Confessional 2019

  ★★★ Watched 30 May 2020

  I don't know how I feel about this one. On the one hand, I typically hate the found footage genre and while this isn't exactly that, it's pretty close. But on the other hand, I do sort of like the idea of shooing an entire movie in the same enclosed space and can applaud that as a sort of experiment.

  The Wizard of Oz 1939

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 May 2020

  I hadn't seen this since I was a little kid so it was long past time to revisit it. Still a classic. Looking forward to watching some of the later films that I have never seen.

  M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters 2020

  ★★★★ Watched 22 May 2020

  When this started and I saw it was done in found footage style, my heart sank a bit but it actually really pleasantly surprised me. The reason for the footage made sense and the premise of the movie was quite engaging. We had a little trouble with the wifi while watching and we really wanted to be able to finish it.

  The Devil's Mile 2014

  ★★★★ Watched 25 May 2020

  As we watched this, I found myself thinking of it as a Canadian cross between Rabid Dogs and Zeder. There's a kidnapping that goes awry along a stretch of road that is sort of haunted, but not exactly. I enjoyed it because I like paranormal stuff.
