The Gate (1987)
One of the benefits of checking out all kinds of movies is sometimes finding some old gem of a cult favorite that’s actually a pretty good movie even if it isn’t particularly well known. And I gotta say, 1987’s The Read more…

Cats (2019)
Cats. My God. Someone made this. Cats. Well, I did go to see it to see if it merited the nearly universal negative response it got. I mean, 18% on Rotten Tomatoes means somebody liked it. Would I get it? Read more…

The Fly (1958)
I thought I’d watch a couple of the movies I’d saved for later on Hulu from Turner Classic Movies, but they weren’t there anymore. Bummer. But there were some others, so why not watch the 1958 version of The Fly? Read more…

Queen & Slim (2019)

Since I finally got around to the 1978 Halloween this past week and the 2018 sequel was leaving HBO at the end of the month, I opted to see it as well. This one, made 40 years after the fact Read more…

Halloween (1978)
In the past year or so, I’ve really gotten into the better movies in writer/director/composer John Carpenter’s filmography. But somehow, I’d never seen the original Halloween. That’s mostly likely due to the fact I’ve only recently gotten into horror movies. Read more…

Dark Age (Red Rising Book 5)
I generally really like the work author Pierce Brown has done with his sci-fi Red Rising series. Although the first book sounds a lot like a more adult-version of The Hunger Games, Brown presented a rather morally complex world where Read more…

6 Underground (2019)
It seems like everyone is releasing movies straight to streaming now and by-passing the traditional theatrical release, or at least just issuing a limited one. But if it was good enough for Martin Scorsese, it should be good enough for Read more…
