Tonight's watch was the new version of 'Frankenstein' from Guillermo del Toro. I found it good, but not as good as I had hoped and expected.

A ★★★ review of Frankenstein (2025)
Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' is a good movie that should have been a great one. Certainly many in the cast deliver performances of the sort that tend to get awards nominations. And for most of ...

'Sorry, Baby' is sort of a "dramady", but just as a warning, it does deal with the very serious topic of sexual assault. Director Eva Victor threads the needle perfectly with this one, but I get it if some folks don't want to watch it. Here's my full review:

A ★★★★★ review of Sorry, Baby (2025)
It's not easy to make a film that deals with sexual assault and have it still be fairly humorous without being misogynistic or at least tasteless. So major kudos to writer/director/star Eva Victor. It...

Last night's watch turned out to be a horror movie, at least sort of. But also an arthouse comedy/drama. Read my review of 'Sister Midnight' if you want to know more.

Last night's watch was 'Dawn of the Dead' (1978). For a change of pace, we decided to watch the international version, aka "the Argento cut".

#31daysofhalloween #31DaysOfHorror Last night's watch was 'Scars of Dracula', last of the Hammer Dracula films to be set in the past. Not great, but nowhere near as bad as I remembered it. I actually kind of liked it this time.

#31daysofhalloween #31DaysOfHorror last night's watch was 'Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter' in its uncut version (I downloaded it off Twitter of all places a few years ago). Worth it for Crispin Glover's dance number alone.

A ★★★ review of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

We spent Friday night with Joe Bob Briggs watching 'Mute Witness', a mid nineties horror adjacent thriller. Still a solid movie, but not as good as I remembered it. My review is here.

A ★★★ review of Mute Witness (1995)

Thursday night's movie was Dario Argento's 'Phenomena', aka the one with the bugs and the chimp. It's a bit of a knock-off of Argento's own 'Suspiria', and a bit WTF at times, but I enjoyed it more than I remembered. Review here.

not like i'm some important predictor of the future, i'm a shitposter, but i sort of thought there might be a climbdown here when i read that neither the pentagon nor the national guard had any fucking idea what he was talking about
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Last night's scary movie was 'It, The Terror From Beyond Space'. It's sort of a fifties sci-fi version of 'Alien', with all the good and bad (mostly bad) that entails.

A ★★½ review of It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)
