We Can Be Heroes (II) (2020)

5/10

30 January 2021

It's Shark boy Lavagirl Spy kids. It's hokey and beyond dumb. But if you're kid is under 10... you're welcome.

Critical points. Lead actress is awful. The other kids are actually not half bad. The actress for the organization...awful. even Pedro Pascal, who I would usually filet over his acting did a better job than both combined.

Got kids? Enjoy. If not, why are you bothering?

Good Omens (2019– )

10/10

Waited so long

31 May 2019

Obviously I'm a a fan from the book or this wouldn't be posted already.

You can read or watch A Series of Unfortunate Events, or any of the other absurdist series out there. Nothing will touch Sir Terry and Neil Gaimen's ability to ground it in reality so firmly it leaves it a bit like visiting an amusement park. Clearly something amazing will happen, you just have to let go and enjoy the little things.

There are SO many little things...

Pottersville (2017)

9/10

Stop being so damned hardcore

14 November 2018

This movie proves we can make a decent movie without resorting to harsh language and grossing ourselves out. We need more of these.

Still wanna see Ian McShane and Ron Perlman go toe-to-toe...

I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker (2016)

8/10

I live for this!

22 August 2018

Warning: Spoilers

A more light hearted take on the genre, skewering modern fascination with vampires while simultaneously keeping a humorous and upbeat tempo to the whole thing. This is in the same niche spot as things like Dead and Breakfast.

There are tons of jokes. Many fall flat. But sometimes you just can't make everyone laugh. Enjoy it for what it is, late-night horror-comedy fueled by copious gallons of blood, bad puns and not really a lot action.

What is delivered is clearly a work of enjoyment as it shows in the production that half of the setups are setup in incredibly awkward ways. "Why is there a wood chipper at the top of the stairs?"

Strangely, those really long jokes that you see a mile off, miss with purpose.

A lot of fun, for what it is. Good job guys.
