Somehow The Hunt became the movie added first to my watchlist after knocking out a couple others for my previous Watchlist Challenges. Probably should have been something in my "I can't believe I haven't watched this" pile of shame.. but no.

And until today, I was only half-interested in the film because I thought it was just another "Most Dangerous…

This is what happens when you get your horror movie director in your action film director's chair. Non-stop carnage of the "holy shit!" and "JESUS CHRIST!" and "Oh-hohoho!" varieties. Maybe you don't get much story and the characters are cool just for being on screen, but when the action is this visceral, I simply have to quote Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

Hell, even the…

I've been aware of Steve Martin's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid since it came out but never watched it. I knew it was a satire about 1940s black and white detective movies and young me had no interest in 1940s black and white detective movies. And I'm glad I skipped it since young, judgmental me would have hated it. Or at least not gotten the…

I was told decades ago this was the height of black & white French gothic surrealism... and it's close to my expectations from that build-up... but not all the way there.

It's the Beauty and the Beast story you largely know. Swap out a few details, remove all the songs, and you'd have Disney's version. Only replace talking fine china…

I never watched Patch Adams back in the day because Siskel and/or Ebert really hated it... and I sometimes too much took their word for it. But today was the day to break down and watch it since it's on my Watchlist (shuffle) Challenge... and because it's been a very bad day and I wanted to watch the movie most likely to give me a…

What even is this movie: the movie. I tried watching High Life a few years ago and bounced off its esoteric weirdness and inability to be coherent. But it's an artsy fartsy kind of sci-fi so I returned to it, ready to buckle down and let it prove itself.

And I'm thinking maybe it did.. Well enough, anyway.…

The watchlist challenge criteria was watch the movie with most beautiful poster... and I clearly nailed it.

How To Be a Latin Lover stars Eugenio Derbez as an aging gigolo who gets dumped by his elderly rich wife. He winds up crashing with his estranged sister (an amusing Salma Hayek) and her impressionable ten year old.

Despite the cover…

👀👀🎬📽️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️👀👀

While watching a film by director John Andreas Andersen is in the letter of the watchlist "director you haven't seen anything from" criteria, I'm not sure it's in the spirit. Yes, I haven't seen a movie by him but he also only has three released films. But I decided a film in the subgenre of Scandinavian…

I didn't grow up with re-releases of this film like I did other live action Disney flicks of the 60s and 70s. I'm surprised by that... I hadn't even heard of this flick until The Corridor Crew included it in one of their YouTube visual effects videos.

In case you were in my boat, it's a technicolor fantasy about stereotypical Irish…

I was very disappointed by almost everything except the bloody carnage in this Mario Bava flick. I had decently high expectations for it too based on its rep... but nothing in the story or the characters interested me.

But, hey, at least there was excessive gore. Surprised me at how much given that it was 1971... but I guess…

Classic case of FAFO... I casually added Gingerdead Man to my watchlist when watching one of the In Search of Darkness docs, figuring I'd probably never get around to it. So what comes up this time for the lowest rated film on the Watchlist Challenge? Of course it did.

So The Gingerdead Man is not a good movie... but nobody…

After watching two 3+ hour director's cuts of the sci-fi duology Rebel Moon, I decided to bite the bullet and satisfy the "longest film" requirement of the Watchlist Challenge. Which is the 5 (!!) hours of In Search of Tomorrow... a documentary about 80s sci-fi films.

Created by the short-phobic director of In Search of Darkness (parts 1-3) which is…
