Ti West's 2 horror films, X & Pearl, are superb horror films,, but the finale to this trilogy, MaXXXine, is decidedly not. ( ** out of **** )

Dull & highly derivative, with too many cinematic homages to count, the whole thing plays like a fanboy's movie pastiche.

Surprisingly & shockingly bad.

Biden evokes a Shakesperian tragedy, good, decent man who didn't deserve a lifetime of tsuris.

Caught Megalopolis-*** out of ****.

2/3 of this is gangbusters, a dystopian science fiction mashup of CB DeMille's Sign of the Cross & The Fountainhead.

Unfortunately, final 1/3 wusses out & becomes It's a Wonderful Life retread, when it needed a more ambiguous ending. Still, it's worth seeing.

Today's epiphany : The U.S. is run by Billionaires, the Supreme Court & Fox News.

In FB Film Forum I approve a post condemning the homophobia found in the movie "Blacula", illustrated by the gay slurs found in the movie. Horrified when FB says the post has "hate speech" & the group & I are sanctioned because of this ! THAT'S why I'm here, due to the sinking ship S.S. Facebook-😡
