Rawhead Rex

1986

★½ 1

Clive was right, this is the pits. Somewhat watchable due to how inexplicably bad it is, but also a total slog to get through, with a creature they just shouldn’t have kept out in the light so long. Waited 25 years to see this one, now I wish I’d waited 25 more.

Kong: Skull Island

2017

★★½ Watched

Bold move to make this a direct sequel to TROPIC THUNDER. Solid CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST reference and John C. Reilly basically plays Dennis Hopper, as recovered from Dale Doback's Community College essay on APOCALYPSE NOW.

The Descent

2005

★★★★½ Watched

It's just you and me down here, kid. No one can save us.

Brain Damage

1988

★★★★★ 1

Henenlotter's masterpiece. A neon cartoon splatterpunk polemic that puts Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" campaign to shame in of sheer effectiveness. The fellatio scene is brilliantly icky and pornographic; one of the most uncomfortable moments in gross out movie history. Arrow's new Blu looks amazing -- all those blues and violets pumped up to the max. I love, love, love this film.
