My quick rating - 4.2/10. I was pleasantly surprised with the first Scare Package , so onto the sequel, which I didn't know was being made. Unfortunately, the things that made the first flick enjoyable are partially to blame for making this one less entertaining. The first one used original ideas and made fun of the many tropes that exist in horror flix while this one took a different approach. They attempted to mock the movies themselves in the anthology portions, and for t

My quick rating - 7.4/10. Looking forward to the follow-up on a very good first flick. Currently showing on Netflix . Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) #mystery #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.2/10. Only a couple of days to slide in the New Year's horror flix, and this one Rebecca hasn't seen before, nor have I reviewed it here, yet. I have to say, 1980 definitely was the year for Jamie Lee Curtis since she dropped three solid slasher flix in the same year. This one seems to be the least remembered of the bunch ( Prom Night and The Fog ), but that is also most likely due to it being the least impactful. This is standard-fare slasher flick, whic

My quick rating - 7.3/10. Time to finish off this Christmas with a beating. This one was definitely on my list ever since I read of its existence. Nothing like casting David Harbour as Santa in a flick that feels like a fun mix of Home Alone and Die Hard . We are introduced to Santa, who seems to be just at his wits' end with the entitled nature of kids these days and is about done with the whole Christmas holiday. Sure, he is also drowning his sorrows in booze and comedica

My quick rating - 2.2/10. I thought I'd balance the good holiday stuff I have been watching with something that sure looks to be a #turkey. This has to be a student flick due to, well, everything you can think of, starting with the horrendous acting of terrible dialogue. Scene after scene, this just gets worse. The jokes that you can clearly see THEY thought were hilarious are just plain stupid. And since the first half of this movie tries to rely strictly on the comedy suppl

My quick rating - 8.0/10. You cannot honestly go and rate something like that. Just a really festive special with a feel-good story. Well, minus the kidnapping. It is so funny how, even still, they cannot take the Troma out of James Gunn . The opening musical number with his brother Sean Gunn just has that sense of humor and feel to it. There is actually a story going on in this one. Thinking that Peter Quill ( Chris Pratt ) had his Christmas ruined when he was younger by Y

My quick rating - 4.8/10. I caught the first one and thought it was average. May as well give their holiday sequel a look. Ah, and why is it a Christmas flick? They moved the annual Binge to Christmas Eve. At times, this one was quite funny, but the other times, it was awful. There are some pretty good actors in this one as well, which you would think could've brought the production as a whole up, but it was tough to get through such a stupid story. It was almost like an an

My quick rating - 6.8/10. If you just glance at the poster, you will know why I had to check this one out. I didn't even know this existed until last month. In this grim take on A Christmas Carol , they surely got one thing right. That is their look of the future, the world view of "ME" being all important. It seems HBOMax is the only place streaming this one. Carol For Another Christmas (1964) #fantasy #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 5.7/10. A Reno 911 Xmas special??? Yes please!!! I will make sure you are aware that I am a huge fan of the TV show and have been keeping up with the squad's antics ever since the show finished its run. I will say that this entry and last year's Hunt for Qanon are very much comparable as far as quality goes. For me, it is a step down from the show's pretty consistent comedic chops. That doesn't mean it isn't entertaining to get the whole crew back for anot

My quick rating - 6.9/10. I only know the summary part of the manga, so I will stick to the movie itself. The movie starts with two old friends( ? ) who coincidentally meet on a train platform. In this brief moment, they attempt to rescue a man from the train tracks, and in trying this, they are killed by the oncoming train. Or were they? The two awaken in a room with a few other strangers, all of whom claim to have been killed. Accompanying them is a mysterious black orb, wh

My quick rating - 7.1/10. Ok, sort of a spoiler. Not of this movie, but the movie that this movie screams a comparison to, Armageddon . I personally loved that movie, the sheer unbelievable nature of landing on an asteroid and blowing off a nuclear weapon to split it in two, saving the Earth from being struck. Still a great movie, especially for a popcorn flick. Now we have a movie that makes the absolutely crazy idea of Armageddon seem like a simple addition problem. T

My quick rating - 4.1/10. I saw Christmas lighting in the trailer, so I figured I would slip this one in for a holiday horror flick. That and Tony Todd is always a highlight for these B-budget flix. It was streaming on TubiTV seemingly exclusively, wink-wink. Hellblazers (2022) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 5.1/10. They do a fine job of introducing us to a couple of characters that are so annoying you will be hoping they are the first ones to hit the naughty list. Riley Dandy and Sam Delich are handed the reins to the opening and introduce us to the absolutely pointless banter-type conversation that was obviously inspired by Clerks . Don't mistake that comparison as a compliment since this version is just riddled with excessive F bombs that don't fit into the

My quick rating - 4.6/10. I am fairly sure I saw this one in the theater and haven't seen it since, so the length works for some background while I work. That was a quick reminder about why I wasn't sure. This is a very forgettable flick. I would've thought with such a great cast, the movie would've been a bit more entertaining, but everyone involved got stuck with a very lame script. The crew of a hospital ship in space receives a distress beacon and ends up intercepting a b
