    The 'Burbs

    ★★★★★

    This is an important part of my movie going life. You take the director of Gremlins and riff on the Rear Window theme. 

    The cast of character actors is great. Tom Hanks leads the charge with his brothers in arms Bruce Dern and Rick Ducommon. Carrie Fisher looks great in my favorite film of hers aside from Star Wars. Corey Feldman is basically the mascot of the neighborhood. 

    If I’m ever looking for something to watch, I can count on The Burbs for an enjoyable experience.

    ★★★★★

    Rear Window holds a special place in my heart, making it deserving to be included in my top 4. 

    Jimmy Stuart and Grace Kelly are fantastic. Kelly is mesmerizing on screen. 

    I am a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock. This is my favorite of his amazing credits. His films are never bad. I’d highly recommend Rope as well. Both have Stuart, and take place in one room. 

    Hitchcock definitely had a thing for blondes like Tarantino does with feet.

    For instance Leigh Whannell’s “Wolf Man” (2025) takes the father son and father family dynamic.

    The film endeavors to breathe new life into the classic Universal monster, presenting a contemporary tale that intertwines familial bonds with the horrors of transformation. The narrative centers on Blake Lovell (Christopher Abbott), who, alongside his wife (Julia Garner)…

    L.A. Confidential

    ★★★★½

    Curtis Hanson has crafted one of the best period crime dramas, with a fantastic cast. Kevin Spacey is at his best, and oddly seems right at home in this era. Crowe and Pearce are equally good.

    Robo-humans, right wing crazies, torture porn, and some slimy acid gook. If you like gore, then this is the place for you.
