Alien: Romulus 2024
We were right around the one-hour mark of Alien: Romulus when I realized I wasn’t having a good time.
I hate that I didn’t like Romulus. The first, Alien, is my favorite film, number-one with a bullet, but I love the entire series. Alien is this disturbing blend of cosmic horror, science fiction and an all-too-real dystopian system of monopoly capitalism—all right up my alley. It puts working class protagonists at the center of the action. The stories ask probing…

Alien³ 1992
Watching the 2003 Assembly Cut, it’s clear that Alien3 is every bit as unique, visually stunning and powerful as its two predecessors.
Ridley Scott’s Alien centered on a dystopian vision of a capitalist future, in which the very human process of exploitation of labor bumps up against an uncaring, horrifying cosmos. Drawing from films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Black Christmas - and the Lovecraftian artwork of HR Giger - Alien uses the structure of what would become slasher movies as the…

Mickey 17 2025
• Mark Ruffalo turns in a performance so bad, it very nearly tanks the whole movie. I don’t say this lightly considering the last 8 years of ‘political comedy’, but I think this is the worst Trump impersonation I’ve ever seen. What he’s going for feels more suited to something out of the candified YA dystopia of The Hunger Games—think Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman. But Tucci’s performance, strong on its own merits, is appropriately camp and tonally suited for…

Toy Story 2 1999
A lot of charm, no doubt, but I didn’t enjoy this one on the re-watch as much as I thought I would.

2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus 2021
One of the most unique movies I’ve ever seen. Don’t think for a second that American right-wing evangelicals could ever produce an art-house experimental film like 2025. They would know all too well that such high-brow pretensions will be lost on the hooting hoglets who make up their audience.
German far-right evangelicals, however, evidently could believe that their American counterparts might enjoy this outrageous, self-serving yuppie-dystopian trash. They believed it so much, they shot the entire movie in English with a cast whose first language was German. I’ve heard of challenging yourself but cmon!

The Free Speech Apocalypse 2015
Not just bad in the sense that its message is hateful, right-wing propaganda. It’s not even effective propaganda - poorly produced, full of inexplicable cuts and clips that make no sense. In the end, this so-called “Free Speech Apocalypse” is a barely concealed vehicle for publicizing right-wing evangelical pastor Doulas Wilson’s thoughts on everything, from gay marriage to the U.S. civil war to slavery (that last one is a real doozy, my God...)
Featuring overly long but wildly cut interviews…
