Undertone (2025)

A daughter cares for her comatose mother whilst hosting a mystery show that entices viewers with myths and facts. The premise only works if the source of the terror (the show) weren't so basic. I could not concoct the visuals necessary to instill fear from the audio presented. Video might have fixed that. Bumps in the night and sleight of hand make up the scares. The film was working towards authenticity but missed being that by not allowing the actors to work for it. When mama falls off the bed daughter is shown off camera helping her back. I wanted to see the struggle of an actor turning a thought into an action. It would have been inspiring. Nina Kiri carries the weight of the film because the support was invisible. Someone needed to physically free her of the constraints. The crust was decent but the pie not so much. 07-Jul-2026
The Nightmare Upstairs: Ty & Bryn (2026)

Parental battle ensues when dad sticks his finger where he wasn't supposed to during a co-parenting visit. Mother battles with betrayal but the daughter was very explicit. Brother cries "me too" and daddy visits become a chore. Overreactions are stirred and trust in a family generation is lost. The professionals made it worse by not creating a solid program. Rulings had the children partaking in daddy visits that the kids vehemently refused. The kids become scared and decide to barricade themselves in the elder's bedroom. When the mother described flattening the food so it could fit under the door I rolled my eyes and they didn't come back. I would have left them there for a day then I would have run to the internet to figure out how to protect my family legally and bust their door down. Instead, she turned the computer on to entertain us. Didn't she miss her kids? Mother-in-law makes good points but is too matriarchal and ignorant of what men can do. There is a countdown to daddy finally talking but it's just a narrative love letter to his children. It baffles, confuses and can't answer any of the questions. Sympathy can't find a place when everyone is suspicious. 24-May-2026
Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow (1959)

Before Scooby Doo there was this. An amalgamation of sitcom sensibilities, talking parrot extremes, dance and musical numbers, generation gap dissection, tom foolery, daddy perversions, money problems, stupidity and lesbians galore. Fast & Furious club are being targeted for more money because of it's reputation. Teen daughter is a drag race queen who has to concoct ways to manipulate the club and the cops from not snitching. She's a manhole on wheels. Daddy does not want his daughter fucking around with bees. Mommy needs to hear about good sex from anyone else. Drag racers are misunderstood. The men are pussies to their sometimes womanly lovers. Agatha was devine. The high is so stupid you have to laugh. Me not understanding what my parents' teenage asses said or did was hilarious and relevant. 05-May-2026
Apex (2026) 

I left as soon as "McAvoy" Jr. brought out the crossbow. 30-Apr-2026
It took me back to River Wild, extreme action hijinx, cliches, that Netflix movie with an almost Lantern, River Wild redone and Fall whose intro is the only one forgiven. I wanted to make a video out of the exact same starters. A hint of salvation is established when daddy Bana argues a case against Charlize and she warms but then never breaks from hardass. The character deserves her outcome. Outbacking like a liberal vegan with no protection does not a hero make. Extreme stunts are suicidal adventures. A catastrophe is an awakening not a forward force. Women need to be soft too. Once you start squirming in bed without pleasure you must look elsewhere. 30-Apr-2026
Panic In Year Zero (1961)

Family of four with a trailer and a teen dream set out on a camping trip. Nuclear explosions greet them on the road and they lose contact with the world. When the family find out it is war circumstances drastically change. The world doesn't bond as expected because all they want is to control their unit. Violence becomes a given, men become rapey, young girls are dangerously aromatic and daddy has to kill. It's a B movie with resonant survival skills. #1. Protect women. 2. Become violent. 3. Buy guns ammo and gear. 3. Gather food and shelter. 4. Get out of the situation you are currently in. 5. Create a home and a fortress. 6. Kill anyone that disagrees or has no conscious. 7. Trust no one that has not been victimized. 8. Kill all the bad ones! 21-Apr-2026
Dust Bunny (2025)

A blockbuster that should have been. I hopped onto the camera as soon it started to move. "Kill Bill" is hired to assassinate a monster that may or may not exist underneath baby Wednesday's bed. Sigourney Weaver was intelligent, funny and enervating. It was a "bitch" howdy welcome. Aurora strapped the story onto her shoulders and it didn't weigh her down. She was chin to chest with Mads. The supporting players got their own space, story and admiration. The synopsis readied me to understand but didn't prepare me for the motion. Fuller is a bunch of masters imbued in one. I was so involved that I had to cancel my lunch date because I was too tired from staying up late watching it. I was that involved. 18-Apr-2026
Here Comes The Devil (2012)

It has elements of a horror masterpiece but the production couldn't pull it off. Brother and sister vanish during a walk and return strange. The girl's first period was further embarrassing because the brother had to witness it. Having mama and papa explain the awakening to each child made sense. More time spent on how the kids communicated before would have helped explain how they communicated after. No difference. Too close and too weird. Sex is a strategic element that titillated to no effect. Sex is responsible for all of it but is sideswiped by fear and hunger. Fear to offend and hungry to be accepted. There was no budget for answers so they hinted a lot. I couldn't marry the intro with the main part of the story but good use of lesbians. Why would daddy drag a business bag into a cave? The ending was a pinchable surprise. 17-Apr-2026
Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere

The doc felt exploitative, only the despised benefitted and the source of male toxicity were the women who represented when the boys were growing up. 22-Mar-2026
Twinless (2025)

Dylan is all grown-up and ready for his close-up. Both turns are different and complex. Each side brought his personality forward and succeeded. One precarious and adventuresome, the other, patient and understanding. I kept seeing him as Nightwing. Maybe because I was imagining his impressive butt in tights. James Sweeney quietly tempered his character to fit a personality whose desire to fight loneliness outweighed the prescription that cures it. The foot suck was everything. Two men become attached when they share twin loss. When a twin dies, the survivor no longer has a mirror to base their lives on. One is gay, the other not but they create a bond that soothes the emptiness. A mirror to their souls. Susan Parks was sarcastic and aware. Two great attributes for comedy. Lauren Graham's sympathetic but volatile persona glorified a lot of her scenes. Francois Arnaud beefed things up by looking short, turning us on and being a dick. The cast was funny and endearing, the comedy was intellectual, the drama was bold, the sex was hot and politics were non-existent. I enjoyed it a lot. 20-Jan-2026
It Feeds (2025)

Well thought out horror film that is supported by its players. Therapist is gifted with psychic abilities that lets her inhabit a person's mind to see what is triggering their ailment. Daughter plays intermediary because she hasn't tapped in to her abilities. Trouble knocks but when the therapist witnesses the ill she is frightened beyond belief and won't aid. Family dynamic is strong, Agatha doesn't hurt, the creature creeps, I was scared, the circumstances were believable and the finale got me thrilling 19-Jan-2026
Mickey 17 (2025)

I watched ready to be disappointed but I was not. It was made for a future generation to fuss over and dissect. Pattinson is a beaten man who has to keep dying in order to survive. His accent and softness humanized Mickey 17 and convinced me to follow him. Pattinson's flashlight stayed on throughout even while twinning. Ruffalo's villain was way over the top. Naomi Aaki pumps the heart and kicks the ass. It's original, bonkers, nerdy and funny but the film lacked space. The supporting cast could have used it. I never stopped caring. 30-Dec-2025
Jay Kelly (2025)

They had an opportunity to strip the persona of a legendary actor and explore his reality but what caused it is more important than knowing why he acted that way. It's not his fault that the notion that a celebrity can create happy families is not attainable because absence and success are prevalent. The trip to establish a bond is fruitless. Clooney gave it as much as the script wrote but didn't add anything fresh to his repertoire. Sandler noticed that and added depth to his support. I wished it had been told by his point of view because Clooney's character was too self-involved. The Christmas Carol flashbacks added nothing. At one point, I thought, "hey, another character named Tim but younger." I must have drifted. Flashbacks are nothing without a ghost to guide you. 08-Dec-2025
Cursed, The (2021)

It excruciates its wretchedness. Kelly Reilly seemed lost especially around the eyes. Gypsies curse white people for taking their land and torturing them to bits. I grew up thinking gypsies were only Spanish but later grew to understand the concept. A curse is unleashed and a wolf man allegory with modern finesse is rebranded. The burying of teeth (obvious), frightening dreams (done to death) and scarecrow fixtures (Jeepers Creepers) did not a good mythology make. If the gypsies had such awesome power why didn't they curse them the moment they paid them to get out? The werewolves were straight out of a Hollywood closet. They went clean shaven 80's instead of hairy 70's porn star. I couldn't consider it a werewolf because it was unfamiliar and implausible. I thought Seamus had sucked McBride's dick whilst losing the way back to his room but it was a dream I had after a temporary drift off. It was well done but no fun. 25-Jul-2025
World Without End (1956)

Astronauts propelled into an apocalyptic earth have to encourage a frightened future society that sun and violence is necessary for survival. Rod Taylor wastes no time getting undressed and that was a good thing but somebody chopped up his story. Future women were equipped with beauty and a desire to experience a man at his most sweaty. Cavemen were created from an atomic blast that made them violent and gave them the capacity to rule the environment. It's a film with good ideas that are jumbled. Future woman was the only realistic effect. They were gorgeous in skimpy space suits. The film couldn't expand on why the cure for everything is to fight. 16-Jan-2025
Red One (2024)

It was a jolly merry Christmas movie. Daddy Johnson downplayed it and wrung emotion and hilarity out of it. Chris Evans rejected heroic valor and was cute again. JK Simmons can eat my cookies, anytime. Lucy Liu had a purpose. Krampus was impressive. Kiernan was having fun. Every hole in the story gets punched up by mini-Dwayne kickassing, his jacket, his teeth, reindeer muscle, snowmen beaching, toys, gadgets, lights, magic, witches, twinks, candies, memories, regrets and fun. Sounds like Christmas to me. 20-Dec-2024
