Justice League Dark starts strong and earns its title. Darker, more violent, more evil than most other DC animated flicks, we're ensconced in the dark magic side of the DC universe. Something I'm not very familiar with... I've seen the Keanu Constantine flick and I'm aware of the character Zatanna... but otherwise only know that Supes hates magic…

Polytechnique is one of Denis Villeneuve's earliest full length features and shows us he's been strong with visuals, pacing, and editing from early on. This is a strong - and damn powerful - true story of a massacre at a college in 1989 Montreal. A Canadian school shooting that I didn't hear about because, of course, why would a teenager living…

Perhaps you needed to be ten years old when you watched this 80s "classic" for the first time. I was alive when it released but I had no interest in it (or its "rad" cousins). But an LB friend recently watched it so figured, what the hell... and dropped it on my watchlist... and obeyed the orders of the watchlist…

On the plus side, at least I no longer have the burden of Dunkirk at the bottom of my ranking of Christopher Nolan films. "Following" is his first full-length film and some of his good tropes can be found buried in its final twenty minutes. But to get there was painful.

A seventy minute film that doesn't even approach interesting until…

I'm not sure when or why How to Talk to Girls at Parties wound up on my watchlist. Maybe I was looking for tips. But when I was cobbling together the Watchlist Challenge (round 3) entries, I filtered by favorite Genre (sci-fi) and this flick popped up. This did not compute... so I quickly added it....nothing beats a surprise.

Under the Boardwalk was an overlooked 2023 animated film that I heard was pretty good. One of these two things was true... it was definitely overlooked.

For some inexplicable reason, it's about hermit crabs living under a Jersey boardwalk and is replete with timely Jersey Shore references. And I'm immediately confused... how universal of a scenario is hermit crabs in Jersey…

Perhaps naming this short film The Evil Clergyman was burying the lead. I venture "Goofy-Looking Demon Rat-Man" might be more descriptive.

This short film, as the opening text explains, was one part of a planned but lost Full Moon anthology horror film. It was saved and semi-restored, though its in 3x4 aspect ratio and looks pretty rough. But, hey, I'm…

If someone had told me Picnic at Hanging Rock would be one of the more surreal movie experiences I'd have this year, I wouldn't have watched it on a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon. But there I was, dozing on and off while a stream of consciousness narrative lazed about on my screen. Kept waking up wondering what in hell was going…

The weird thing about Harrold Lloyd is that I didn't know he existed well into my 20s. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, and The Three Stooges I knew well even if I hadn't seen many of their films. But Lloyd - even with the famous clock scene - was something that went right over my head. It's weird.…
