#LeeCroninsTheMummy is now playing in theaters. It's mega gross and blatantly rips off Sam Raimi without remorse. But it's also too long, poorly written, and the acting is so bad. If you have the chance to see it, don't. #WarnerBrosPictures #horror #movies #moviereview
Two micro-budget horror darlings, two very different problems. Resolution mistakes nihilism for profundity, pulling the rug out from under its own emotional core just to prove a point that isn’t nearly as clever as it thinks it is. Creep, on the other hand, stretches human behavior past the breaking point in service of a gimmick it never fully justifies.

The Meta-Horror of Narrative Constraint: A Comparative Analysis of Neolovecraftian Structures and Found Footage Logic Breakdown in Resolution (2012) and Creep (2014)

The landscape of independent horror in the early twenty-first century underwent a seismic shift as filmmakers began to pivot away from the visceral “torture porn” era toward a faux-cerebral, pseudo…

Ryan's Movie Reviews
I didn’t hate The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, because that would imply that it invoked an emotional response from me. The movie is energetic but inert, a story with no purpose besides offering up visuals. Little kids and fans of the games may enjoy it, but for me the movie was listless and uninvolving. Not recommended.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die

Directed by Gore Verbinski; starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Juno Temple; written by Matthew Robinson (2h14m)

A time traveller selects patrons from a diner to go on a quest to save mankind.

Fresh and clever take on a classic sci-fi trope. Topical as it leans into its satire of social media and AI trends.
Verbinski’s skills do wonders with a humble budget and Rockwell is his usual fantastic self.

Rating: A

Hard Boiled (1992)

Movies young and old, from fright flicks to cracking comedies, from the latest blockbusters to the rarest cult treats.

Heads of State trades sharp critique for swagger, turning presidential power into something to cheer instead of question. The result makes My Fellow Americans look like Wag the Dog by comparison.
