My quick rating - 4.8/10. I tend to jump at any flick with Noomi Rapace in it. She always plays the femme fatale role so well. Although in this one, she seemed to be practicing different accents for some reason. Henry Golding appears to be someone Hollywood is trying to push, but I don't think action is going to be his niche. At least not in this flick. The setup is fine, although you have seen it before. An assassin gets himself set up in a sort of game against all the oth

My quick rating - 4.0/10. It looks like a low-budget sci-fi flick that is going to rely on the story as opposed to fancy effects to entertain us. Desperate editing cannot hide the awful effects and stunts they are trying to play off as happening. Some of the worst fight scenes I have also ever seen. Putting aside the obvious budget restraints and bad decisions, they did come up with a good concept. Director Bruce Wemple presents a highly conceptual take on how his idea of ti

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Let's see how they do without Neve Campbell . Not only did they do fine, I will take this entry slightly over last year's reboot of the horror series ( review ). This is mainly due to one factor: They have unleashed an even more brutal version of the Ghostface killer. Beyond that, if you thought enough already about the whole Scream idea and the last one was overkill or just a cash grab, then do not bother with this one. If you are still reading, th

My quick rating - 3.8/10. I had this one on Radarr for quite some time and I am not sure why, but time to find out. They had the focus completely wrong. Instead of trying so damn hard to make our paranoia about COVID the main point, that should've been the minor plot next to the major story of the witches practicing their ways at this lodge. But they went the other way around and spent entirely too much time hyping the lockdown thing after they, of course, made sure we knew t

My quick rating - 3.3/10. "A Love Story Guaranteed Not to Suck." I am IN. If not sucking means different but still bad, then they nailed it. This one had a shot at being campy zombie fun if they didn't waste the first hour of the movie making stupid jokes and attempting to build character. You couldn't for a second take the development they were creating seriously at all since it all occurred in a strip club. Anthony Clark Pierce seems pretty unfamiliar with that subject, wh

My quick rating - 2.2/10. I will admit, I only put this on because it looks awful, and I am working. And so far, the acting is right on target for my assumption. I don't know why they bothered with an "uncut" version because there is hardly any blood in this whole crappy affair, and the constant full frontal is pretty standard. Undressing scenes so the girls strip to hop on a tanning bed. The plot revolves around some prevented guy who records these sessions, but that isn't a

My quick rating - 5.7/10. I am not sure if it is just because of how many of these spy-comedy romantic flix there have been lately, but I seem to just be seeing them all in the same light. Sure, they are entertaining, typically they are looking very good due to the big-budget streamers behind them, and they have been cast well for the same reason. But after it is over, I just think, "Didn't I just see that recently?" This time around, we get a little role reversal with the lo

My quick rating - 5.7/10. Ever wonder who that Facebook friend is that you just accepted, since you play the same game? Here is your darker look into who that person may be. These days, we accept these requests all the time and most likely don't think much of it. For Laura ( Alycia Debnam-Carey ), it turns out to be a mistake to befriend a social outcast at her university. Fans of these types of movies will be pleasantly surprised at what transpires. The obsession factor is a

My quick rating - 5.2/10. Don't know much about this one, but there have been some damn good Spanish horror movies. Going to be a Netflix exclusive for now. Phenomena (2023) #horror #IMDB #Plex

My quick rating - 6.9/10. If you are a fan of quality camera work, editing, and an array of interesting characters, this one will do well for you. In a strange film noir mix with modern times (which sometimes works and other times just seems out of place), a couple, one who conveniently is a cop, are attempting to sell a house where a brutal massacre occurs. Jessica Lowndes plays a real estate agent who is conveniently married to Joe Anderson as they start to realize that thi

My quick rating - 6.4/10. This one gets some 4K treatment from me. And it definitely deserved it since the effects in this are so colorful at times and very vivid. The CGI artists deserve all kinds of respect here. But there is a lot more to a flick than just the eye candy, and that is where I am hit and miss with this one. The story itself doesn't lend itself to any part of the MCU. Let me explain, it really doesn't further the story they are working on, and it also doesn't

My quick rating - 4.1/10. This one does a great deal to look like a 70s/'80s flick. Shot with a grainy look and a pan and scan aspect ratio gives that vibe completely. Everything so far just screams out quality filmmaking, the camera work, the sounds, and the scenery, but it is missing one key component: the story. The first words out of my mouth when the end credits just started were, "Pretentious nonsense." Nice experimental film, but quite pointless as a movie. I really wa

My quick rating - 2.7/10. I watched the FIRST one a year and a half ago and wasn't impressed, so I figured I'd better check out the sequel since I am a glutton for punishment. YAWN. This crew does have the mockumentary style nailed, making that portion of it nice and believable. However, found footage was DOA, and your idol Blair Witch Project , always sucked in the first place. So these attempts, still trying to use the "no money, no problem" approach, are pointless. I did

My quick rating - 5.2/10. The poster got me. This girl has to have a new level of stupidity in trying to get away with something. McKaley Miller plays the high school girl who invites herself to a heaven and hell party with an ulterior motive. But she seems to stumble across something that is far more sinister than her attempt to get a letter of recommendation from some rich kid. At the beginning, we are informed of a girl who has gone missing at school. This comes into play

My quick rating - 3.9/10. This is a 75-minute flick I know nothing about. Seems a woman ( Jocelyn Saenz ) wakes up with blood on her and realizes that her brother is dead. She has no recollection of what happened the night before and calls her buddy, Billy ( Mark Simich ), to come and get her. Apparently, blacking out from too much drinking isn't unheard of with this woman. In attempting to flee the scene, she realizes she doesn't have her medication for her bipolar disorde

My quick rating - 5.1/10. Ok, let me explain, first I saw Denise Richards and Paul Walker in a flick I have never heard of. Then I notice an "unrated" GORE version. OMG, that is a young Paul Walker with the exact same voice. We have one of those "testicular stand-offs"; this is starting off great. The humor in this is very stupid yet still entertaining in a weird way. I suppose a bit of the gore portion is this brain surgery with a jigsaw LOL. What a bizarre flick, some ma

My quick rating - 5.2/10. This is another one I remember watching on the Showtime box before cable was a thing. There is one thing that caught my eye this time around that I didn't care about when I was 9 years old, written/directed by Wes Craven !!! You would think after hooking Adrienne Barbeau to play the damsel in distress, they would've thrown a bit more money at the budget. I still enjoyed it for what it was worth. A campy superhero flick that most people may not reali

My quick rating - 6.5/10. Work finally popped up, so stand-up it is. This was another solid set from Jefferies , which always seems pretty consistent and amusing for an adult crowd. He does, however, have an infatuation with my least favorite word out there, but beyond that, he delivers funny stuff. This one is a Netflix exclusive.

My quick rating - 4.3/10. One of these two on this road trip cannot die quickly enough in this flick. Such an irritating character, which means he is playing his role well. Strangely better than I thought it would turn out, but still nothing worth the size or the time to watch. The flick is just a mish-mosh of far better flicks, and even with the outline from the others, they still find a way to let you down. The whole Duel meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a simple mix to f

My quick rating - 3.3/10. Right now, it says 5.6/10 from me, which is a wild difference from what IMDB says, and I don't remember seeing this at all. I suspect I might have mixed up movies, so we'll see. It does have a gritty look to it, which helps the atmosphere of being isolated. The sound quality is very suspect, though. There is no way that was the flick I gave a 5.6/10. It is also better than the 2.8 it currently has on IMDB . Ok, aside from arguing with myself, this fl
