Heart of Stone (2023)
My quick rating - 5.8/10. Another big-budget Netflix exclusive, this time starring Gal Gadot. Nice scenery to start this one off. Is it just me, or does Netflix seem to enjoy throwing money at snow lately? Heart of Stone takes us on a thrilling ride through a world of espionage, danger, and deception, led by Gal Gadot doing her usual thing where she looks like she belongs in every frame no matter what is going on around her. As the big budget allows, the flick boasts some gen

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter (2023)
My quick rating - 6.3/10. I went into The Last Voyage of the Demeter knowing the basic premise and honestly wondering how they were going to stretch one chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula into a nearly two-hour movie. Turns out, putting Dracula on a ship with nowhere for anyone to escape is a pretty solid start. The first thing that grabbed me was just how good this movie looks. The Demeter itself feels alive, and not in the friendly Disney ship kind of way. Every hallway. Dark

Barbie (2023)
My quick rating - 6.6/10. Time to finally see what all the hype was about. Surely Barbie couldn't possibly be as bad as some people made it out to be. After all, it stars Margot Robbie. Right? Then the movie immediately landed one of its best jokes. "Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point." That line got a genuine laugh out of me. Right from the start, Barbie shows it's fully aware of itself, and that self-awareness en

A Town Full Of Ghosts (2023)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. Looks like another found footage gem. HAHA. As always, I watch everything so you don’t have to, and A Town Full Of Ghosts is yet another reminder that just because you can make a found footage movie doesn’t necessarily mean the ghost town should’ve stayed haunted by your screenplay. To be fair, if nothing else, the setting here immediately caught my attention. An old abandoned ghost town? Sign me up. Writer/director Isaac Rodriguez clearly has no int

Dark Floors (2008)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. I went into Dark Floors knowing nothing about it being a Lordi film. That being said, I am glad to have found this review from someone named "flamewall" located in Finland (the movie is Finnish). Here is their review: "I got to say that I went to see this movie with low expectations. I didn't believe that a Lordi movie could be good because I actually couldn't imagine it as a whole. Though, after I saw the movie I was amazed at how well the writers

Compound Fracture (2013)
My quick rating - 5.2/10. Nice to see Tyler Mane in a role other than his typecast fare. You know him (sorta) as Sabretooth or Michael Myers, but here, Tyler shows he can act, along with writing and producing. Michael receives a frantic call from his estranged, eccentric (and extremely paranoid) father, Gary (Muse Watson), who is obsessed with building an unassailable compound. Once they arrive at Gary’s modest home, surrounded by acres and acres of grounds full of cameras an

Killer Kites (2023)
My quick rating - 3.2/10. I read something about this one a while ago, time to see why I had it on Radarr for so long. Never mind the obvious low budget. The editing in this is horrible. Some of it is literally pressing the pause/play button on the video camera. I am also quite sure much of the dialogue is improvised, and this group isn't really witty enough to pull that off. The scary thing is, during the credits, there are some outtakes that prove that at least some of the

Cabin Girl (2023)
My quick rating - 4.3/10. Cabin Girl looked like it had the ingredients for a fun little supernatural mystery. We've got the creepy isolated cabin. Strange small-town vibes. Check. And a lead character poking around where she probably shouldn’t. You know, the kind of setup where common sense packs its bags and has left the building before the opening credits. Unfortunately, while the movie starts with some promise, I ended up guessing the big reveal way too early. Once that h

The Blackwell Ghost (2017)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. I watched the third one the other night and wasn't impressed (REVIEW). I am only watching the first one because I should at least give it a chance, and it is under an hour. Turner Clay decided to prove ghosts exist after being a successful director of zombie flicks (look that up, his movies sucked and bombed beyond belief.) In other words, he had to come up with something to change career paths, and this is it. I know I have already seen by far the m
