Don't expect anything particularly profound or worth reading, really. I mostly just write to remind myself what I thought.

    The Angry Birds Movie

    ★★½

    Ok for what it is. A lot of the bird puns are pretty dumb. Surprising amount of adult humor couches in there.

    Die Hard With a Vengeance

    ★★★★½

    The original kinda takes the top slot by default I think but if I'm being honest this one is my favorite. It's a quintessential model of an action movie of it's time: chock full of fantastic 90s quips, and wastes no time jumping right into the action, which is itself over the top and silly but right in that sweet zone where it's exciting and fun to watch rather than eye rolling stupid. 2 hours of good fun. Loses several points for the bits of "angry Black man should maybe calm down about being mad at white cops" (Zeus was right, folks).

    Slotherhouse

    ★★★½

    A stupid movie made to be stupid in the spirit of "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" or "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes". Slasher in which a sorority house falls prey to one very angry sloth. This is in no way meant to be taken seriously - the sloth is driving a car and posting selfies with her victims on Instagram - and as is usually the case with these things, it will work for some while for others it will…

    The Rocky Horror Picture Show

    ★★★★

    Probably the first time in 3 or 4 years that I've seen this NOT involving a shadowcast/midnight showing and it was odd not to have all the callbacks.
