Creepshow: Model Kid/Public Television of the Dead (2021)
An Amazing Start
You have to see this show. Even if you felt that the first season was mixed (I didn't, personally, but some did) there is no way that this season premiere won't win you over. The first story "Model Kid" plays like an homage to the history of the genre, as well as a love letter to the original 1982 Creepshow movie. The second story however ("Public Television of the Dead") is a mini-masterpiece. I don't want to give away too much, but if Ted Raimi being possessed by the Necronomicon, then being stabbed in the back of the head with a paintbrush and burned in the face by Bob Ross sounds interesting to you (which I can't imagine how it wouldn't), then you have to see it. Admittedly, it all plays out like fan service, but that's sort of what Creepshow always was, so I'm more than fine with it.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
The best movie of the year by far
Do not pay any attention to reviews saying there wasn't any point to the movie, because there most certainly is. Just because you were unable to find one yourself, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also, you DO NOT have to have read the book to understand the movie. I didn't even know there was a book until after I saw it, and I understood it perfectly. Anyone criticizing the dialogue in the car scenes just didn't pay attention. I understand why you wouldn't be able to last a movie that is 75% dialogue driven if that's not your thing but that doesn't make the dialogue "inane." A movie isn't bad just because you can't sit through all the talking. Just saying that makes you sound like a 3 year old.
Check this out if you'r interested in something different, and understand that most of these negative reviews are coming from people who were just trying to find a dumb horror movie on Netflix.
Channel Zero (2016)
Best horror show to ever touch cable television
Every season is good for different reasons, so don't listen to anyone saying to watch only season 2. I hat that this got cancelled, because it was absolutely perfect. It was slow-burning, which made it creepy, but there was always new-information and it was always interesting. It's slow but eventful 6-episode format was perfect and it could have ran for years without running out of ideas. It's a shame that sci-fi can make 6 sharknado movies and whatever stupid b-movie idea thy have rolling around, but thy cancelled this show due to poor ratings-- even though thy hardly bothered to market it. Hopefully, Shudder picks it up because they seem to be fond of it and, being low-budget, I fl that that would b the best home for this series. GIVE US SEASON 5!
Midsommar (2019)
My god, everyone giving this 1-2 stars needs to shut tf up
This actually more of an 8-9 but I changed it to a 10 to help combat all of the idiots who are claiming it's one of the worst films they've ever seen. They're all criticizing it using words like "slow-burn" or "disturbing." So if a horror movie isn't blazing fast and packed with jumpscares it's bad? If a horror movie actually horrifies you then it's also bad? And a movie that tries to give you something different than the average, cookie-cutter piece of crap horror film that dominates at the box office these days then it's 1/10!?! SHUT UP!!!!
Pumpkins (2018)
It's not that bad
It's definitely not a work of art, and it shows the lack of a budget pretty much 100% of the time, but I think some of the reviews are being a bit cruel. It's a fun time waster, and it's free on Tubi, so if a dumb slasher called "Pumpkins" about a killer farmer then why not check it out?
Love on a Leash (2011)
Hidden gem
A masterpiece full of emotional twists and turns. A must watch for any true enthusiast of cinema.
Tenet (2020)
Very complex
As someone who was disappointed with Inception, this was exactly the Nolan film I wanted to see. Take that as you will.
Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020)
Go watch Final Space instead
This is basically just Final Space set in the Star Trek universe, but without the heart and narrative complexity that made Final Space so great. It's occasionally funny and moderately interesting as an experiment, but it doesn't make any attempts to stand on it's own.
I'll also take this opurtunity to say to go watch Final Space. It's the greatest animated property to come around in years, and this show is just a carbon copy of it.
Scoob! (2020)
Enjoyable, but not great
This isn't the worst iteration of Scooby Doo that exists (that would go to the horrid "Be Cool, Scooby Doo" on cartoon network), but it is somewhat dissapointing in the fact that it aims to be a huge Hanna-Barbera crossover rather than the Scooby Doo centered origin story that it sold itself as. In terms of entertainment, I'd put it on the same level as the first live action Scooby Doo movie (which has proven equally divisive). The fact is that it's a simpe cash grab, and it goes for easy fan serviice rather than clever plot. It's certainly not bad, and parents could watch it with their children and be relatively entertained, but it exists soley as a marketing device, and so expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
XX (2017)
Completely dissapointing
I'd like to start out with the fact that using an anthology format to tie as many female directors to a film is a respectable idea, but it's impossible for this film to make any case for more female directors getting the chance to work in horror when the 4 tales that it presents are so uninspired and uneventful that there may as well have been no film to begin with. 3/4 segments presented in this dud of an anthology are utterly pointless with hardly anything passable as horror, or even a comllete thought, as they often finish before they've explained a single point they bring to the table. One utilizes a simple set up to craft a presentable monster story, but doesn't go for anything original. This anthology is not a mixed bag, it's not an uneven mash of horror movie ideas, it's just mediocre and incomplete at best, and absolutely boring and atrocious at worst. Once again, highlighting female film making talent is a cause worth supporting on every level, but this film gives nothing to defend, and so not only is it not recommendable, it should be avoided at any cost.
Final Space: The Happy Place (2019)
EPIC!!!!
Episode 1 of this new season was just a little bit disappointing, because it's hard to give a reunion with old characters and introduce new ones at the same time. However, by this episode I already felt familiar with the new characters. It was interesting to watch the crew solve the mystery of the happy place, but seeing Gary's own happy place was epic enough to carry the episode on it's own! The music, the animation...
