Dune: Part Two 2024
If you're a movie lover and have at least two to three decades of being alive, you've experienced at least a handful of MOMENT MOVIES. There's probably a better term somewhere, but a Moment Movie is a first-time movie watch that completely blows your mind and everyone else that sees it. It is forever lodged in your brain as a Movie Moment you will never forget.
Movies like Star Wars, Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Terminator, Jurassic Park, The…

The Thing 1982
A love letter to all die-hard fans of John Carpenter's The Thing (especially those that obsessively rewatch it like I do).
The intimidating synth bass rises from silence as the opening credits begin to roll.
A flying saucer streaks across a Star Wars-like starfield above Earth, and the iconic title sequence of "The Thing" burns up the screen.
A summary from Slashfilm 2022 says it best:
"Just as the sound of the craft quiets and its red-hot hue flickers out,…

The Electric State 2025
Woof. If fans of the Russo brothers are thinking that their return to Marvel with Robert Downey Jr. in Avengers: Doomsday is going to reinvigorate the MCU, they should be very worried. I haven't seen all of their movies post-Endgame, but I've seen and read enough to know they've been struggling mightily.
If this were a limited series, it would've been much more interesting, given it's a bit of a riff on the new Fallout series. Apparently, they departed drastically…

Breathing In 2023
Creepy cute daughter: "That's not why we travel at night. We can't bear the daylight. It hurts us."
Smitten dude: "I see."That dude didn't run for the hills because he was too busy fighting the Boor War in 1901 to keep up with the latest horror literature. Jaco Bouwer doesn't reach the heights of his previous film, Gaia, but he delivers an effective low-budget one-room thriller based on a play of the same name.
He also has an eye…

Let the Right One In 2008
"I'm not a girl."
That line by Eli still haunts me, and I think it can be taken in several ways.
The first and more obvious interpretation is that she's just reminding Oskar that she's not human. But another interpretation is far more disturbing -- she's not a girl because she's an old woman -- her body may look like she's 12, but in reality, she's very old.

Malignant 2021
"There's only so many PG-13 movies I can make before I get bored," says the filmmaker.
Thank you, James Wan, for saying aloud what all mother-loving horror fans think every time a scene cuts away from gore or a kill in a PG-13 horror movie.
And then there's this choice quote from Wan the Man: " "You can take the boy out of horror, but you can never take the horror out [of] the boy."
