#90 – Trailer Park Boys Season 9

Another entry in the hilarious Trailer Park Boys series.  I loved being back at Sunnyvale Trailer Park with Julian, Ricky and Bubbles and the rest of the cast of characters who are all back.  I didn’t think it was as funny as some of the previous seasons and a few of the characters felt forgotten…

#41 – Dead Snow: Red vs Dead

The sequel to the awesomely fun Dead Snow that proved that Nazi zombies can be outrageous comedic horror.  This movie is just bonkers with all of the set pieces and story elements taken to a whole new level.  You have to know going in that this movie doesn’t care about narrative, this is over the…

#70 – Killer Mermaid

A pretty decent B horror movie that actually looks fantastic.  The acting is exactly what you’d expect but I was really impressed by how well it was filmed and the locations.  There’s this weird romantic dynamic to begin but the film really picks up in the second act with some fun action.  The finale however…

#86 – Mr Peabody & Sherman

A pretty charming, animated family film with an alright story.  Exposition is never something that goes well in a kids movie and the story is just interesting enough to keep you interested.  The voice acting is well done but I just couldn’t find a way into the story to really hook me. Recommend? I know…

#6 – The Guest

Made by the team of the grossly under appreciated horror You’re Next and a well made slow burn thriller.  There are places where the narrative falls flat but there is so much to like here that those times are easily overlooked.  Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe, from It Follows, are compelling leads and the score…

#55 – Citizenfour

Citizenfour won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature and it’s easy to see why.  The information uncovered by Edward Snowden is shocking but what I found even more interesting was the process shown of what a whistleblower can go through.  Snowden at first seems almost cocky about what he’s done and then how quickly the…

#110 – Tales Of The Grim Sleeper

The story of The Grim Sleeper is one that I’m not familiar with at all and apparently I’m not the only one.  The serial killer story isn’t even all that familiar throughout the Los Angeles area where the crimes are reported to have taken place and that is one of the things explored in the…

After 100, My Top 15 Movies

I’ve hit 100 movies watched and even though I’m behind on a movie day it’s still a marker and to commemorate my first 100 movies I’ll give you my top 15 movies that I’ve watched to this point.  I’m still catching up on reviews so a few of these don’t have full write ups yet,…

#43 – Young Ones

The world that’s created in this post apocalyptic drama is so unique and impressive.  The story is a little slow but well plotted and the cast is good from top to bottom.  Michael Shannon particularly stands out and stunning visuals made me really enjoy this one. Recommend? Absolutely for any Sci Fi and post apocalyptic…

#64 – Blood Ties

I liked this movie but it never really lives up to it’s impressive cast.  A main story about crime and family that gets too caught up in its side stories and meaningless characters.  Clive Owen and Billy Crudup really put in good work but are letdown by a weak script. Recommend? Yes, but there are…
