Badland Hunters (2024)
My quick rating - 6.1/10. There are movies that know exactly what they are, and then there’s Badland Hunters, which feels like it spun a giant “post-apocalyptic chaos” wheel and decided to include every genre it landed on. Earthquake disaster? Yep. Mad scientist? Sure. Mutants? Absolutely. Zombie-ish weirdness? Why not. Brutal fistfights? Thankfully, yes. It's basically throwing leftovers into a blender and hoping somehow it becomes a gourmet meal. Sometimes it kind of works.

Don't Look Now (1973)
My quick rating - 7.2/10. It has been two years since we lost Donald Sutherland, so I figured it was time to dig up Don't Look Now. Going in, I honestly didn't remember much about it beyond hearing people talk about that scene for years. You may have read about it. The scene that apparently had audiences clutching their hearts back in 1973. Having finally seen it, I can understand why it got people talking. By modern standards it's pretty tame, but fifty-some years ago this w

The Fall Guy (2024)
My quick rating - 7.4/10. The Fall Guy ends up being one of those rare reboots that actually gets it right. It's respectful to the classic TV show while cranking up the energy with massive practical stunts, charismatic performances, and a clear love for old-school stunt work. David Leitch leans into what he knows best, and casting Ryan Gosling as Colt Seavers was absolutely the right move. Gosling plays Colt with the perfect mix of charm and humor, exactly the kind of pe

Green Ice (1981)
My quick rating - 4.6/10. I checked out Green Ice mostly out of curiosity. This movie landed smack in the middle of my childhood Showtime cable-box years, a time when I watched - or at the very least read about - everything that passed through the monthly guide. Yet somehow this one completely escaped me. After seeing it now, I’m starting to suspect the poster might explain why. This is supposedly an action-adventure flick, but that label feels wildly optimistic in hindsight.
