Unfriended: Dark Web, 2018 - ★★
Watched on Friday April 15, 2022.
Dual, 2022 - ★★★
A transformative experience. The feeling of understanding almost nothing while simultaneously feeling everything. This should be required viewing for humans, can we make that happen?

Absolute perfection.

Inglourious Basterds, 2009 - ★★★★★
A couple of twists, but ultimately not offering much you haven’t seen before.
The Rental, 2020 - ★★★
This review may contain spoilers.
It was suspenseful and creepy throughout, but the ending really got me. Him screaming in victory not only at the beast but all it represents was triumphant and moving.
The Ritual, 2017 - ★★★★ (contains spoilers)
Watched on Thursday April 7, 2022.

Watched on Monday April 4, 2022.
Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed, 2022 - ★★
Watched on Tuesday March 29, 2022.
Phoenix Rising, 2022 - ★★★
As far as biopics go, this one was pretty weak. Will Smith’s performance was probably the best thing about the movie.

Gaming Wall St, 2022 - ★★★
Entertaining enough for the most part but still ends up with that typical feeling of disappointment that's far too common with Netflix films.
The Weekend Away, 2022 - ★★
Watched on Thursday February 24, 2022.
Get Out, 2017 - ★★★★
Watched on Tuesday February 22, 2022.

Watched on Sunday February 13, 2022.
Licorice Pizza, 2021 - ★★★
Look, I’m a fan of Roland Emmerich’s films no matter how heavy handed they usually are. I was confident that no matter how many step-parents this movie had it was going to overcome with spectacle. It didn’t. I don’t know how he managed to do it, but Mr. Emmerich just made a film about the moon colliding with Earth boring.
Moonfall, 2022 - ★★
Watched on Sunday February 6, 2022.
Jackass Forever, 2022 - ★★★
Watched on Saturday February 5, 2022.
The Last Dance, 2020 - ★★★★★
90 minutes of full pucker.
The Alpinist, 2021 - ★★★
One of the biggest realizations I had during this movie is what a treasure Al Pacino is. Keep your friggin hands off Pacino 2022!!!
House of Gucci, 2021 - ★★★★

Closed for Storm, 2020 - ★★★

Scream, 2022 - ★★★
This was a depressing experience but that’s not the movies fault. It held up a mirror and the reflection was disgustingly accurate.
