  • The Babysitter: Killer Queen

    Well, as expected, I ended up having a blast watching this, and I think it’s as fun if not funner than the first one. I was really curious to see how they were going to follow-up the first one — considering the state of most of the characters at the end — and they ended…

  • The Trigger Effect

    I ended up watching this after reading an article in the latest issue of Empire magazine on David Koepp, who is behind this year’s You Should Have Left, which I was planning on watching shortly — the article mentioned that both this and Stir of Echoes are well worth watching, and so I added both…

  • The Exorcist III

    I think this has always been considered a better sequel than the second one, and there are certainly some scenes in this movie that are incredibly compelling. The two standouts for me are the extended shot down the corridor that ends with the killing of the nurse (truly oneof the most terrifying scenes to watch,…

    I remember when this came out a few years ago, and I didn’t bother checking it out — thinking it was just a kids comedy — but seeing that a sequel was recently released probably influenced me in giving it a chance, and you know what, this was pretty damn fun. Definitely more in the…

  • Tales From the Darkside

    This one falls under both my October horror movie marathon and my 1990 movie marathon — and in fact, I’ve been saving up the horror movies from 1990 to watch during October (although I did jump the gun with Nightbreed). This was pretty fun, an anthology of horror stories that definitely feels like something out…

    To kick off this year’s October horror marathon (here’s what I watched in 2018 and 2019) I started by watching The Rental on October 1. Seeing the cast that was involved, I was expecting this to be a lot better than it ended up being. I did finally sort of enjoy it during the last…

  • Days of Thunder

    The one thing I can’t really tell is whether the racing here is realistic or not, since I don’t understand much about NASCAR racing — but the way the cars bump and grind in this movie does feel farfetched. But hey, it’s still a pretty fun and silly ride, reeks of late 80s-style moviemaking (the…

  • Total Recall (1990)

    Not only is this my favorite Schwarzenegger movie (at least, I’m pretty sure it is), but it was also one of my favorite movies from around that time. Even now, it’s still so much fun to watch, and it’s great to see that the practical effects still look so cool — sure, they don’t come…

  • Back to the Future Part III

    I’ve always thought this was the weakest of the three. After the madcap thrills of all the time jumping we got in the second one, turning the last one into what ends up being a “comedy western” felt lazy. Re-watching it now — and maybe it’s because I was in the ideal mood to watch…

  • Nightbreed

    My favorite thing about this movie is the presence of David Cronenberg in one of the main roles — sure, his acting isn’t all that great, but I just love seeing him on screen. The directing here is a bit weird — I’m pretty sure it was Clive Barker’s directorial debut — but I like…
