  Us 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Dec 2022

  Atmospheric and bleak, this film studies the mental collapse of a family as they realize they have murderous doppelgangers.

  Twisted and stylish, the film progresses smoothly though the big reveal may be a bit easy to anticipate. The execution and presentation are great.

  The History of White People in America 1985

  ★★★ Watched 30 Sep 2022

  In a bizarre world white people have lost their culture, at least they think so. Martin Mull helps them learn who they are, terribly. Absurd, forward looking and uncomfortably satirical, starring the inimitable Fred Willard.

  Krull 1983

  ★★★ Added

  Cheesy fantasy action that borrows heavily from myriad better films, this tale of some guy doing some stuff that's surely really cool isn't exactly good at face value. It isn't bad or, worse, forgettable, but its bare-limit competency makes it often too boring unless being riffed or hatewatched.

  The Happening 2008

  ★ Watched 26 Jun 2022

  Nature itself seems to have a vendetta against humanity which manifests in suicidal urges. I remain fully unconvinced this movie was conceived as an intentional b-movie, rather I believe they only realized how dismal it was too deep into production to pull out. It is a series of events featuring the same people but isn't really a story. The acting direction is burning garbage, the dialogue is confusing, the plot is without resolution and ILM's involvement was both baffling and unhelpful.
