    Project Hail Mary

    Just got back from seeing this in IMAX, it looked awesome, sounded awesome. I did not read the books, but would recommend this whole heartedly. It went very fast, solid humor, and not knowing what was going to happen left me anxious in multiple places. It's a nice feel good buddy comedy in...

    War Machine (2026)

    This was bad, but we knew that going in. Just wanted a silly action movie and silly action movie is what we got. My main issue with the movie turned out to be not liking the mech design. It didn't seem like the type of advanced tech I have come to expect from a space fairing race.

    In a Violent Nature 2

    I was pretty jazz'd to see this announced. I thought the first was a really solid slasher film. The slow, prodding, sense of inevitability and tension were great.

    We Bury the Dead (2025)

    I would agree, good flick, interesting take on how the zombies came about, and worth the watch for the genre. I may need to go back and rewatch at some point. It started losing my attention in the back half somewhere and feel like I may have missed some interesting detail but think I got the...

    28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple (2026)

    I would recommend watching Bone Temple to anyone that likes zombie movies, period, nearly without seeing part 1. I do think watching the first provides needed context and may be a hate watch. Part 1 definitely didn't come out of the gates very strong and turned some folks off, but Bone Temple...

    28 Years Later Part 2: The Bone Temple (2026)

    Saw this yesterday on a lark and I really enjoyed it. I liked the first, except the ending, so take that for what it is worth. The only thing I did not like about the ending was the tracksuit ninja gang. The contrast between medieval England society and that group was too jarring. As to...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Jeez, this has been slowly creeping up but Perplexity must be making some sort of sponsorship play. I think it would have done better if they just renamed Perplexity 'Jamie' for a period of time. That would be fun. Hey guys, have you tried PERPLEXITY? Perhaps we should ask PERPLEXITY about...

    Stranger Things

    I have a buddy that was trying to 'educate' me on this yesterday. He is 100% certain that by 1/12 there will be a surprise episode(s) drop up to, and including, theaters. He described it similar to breaking the 4th wall saying 'audience is being controlled by Vecna' and / or this is all in...

    Bugonia (2025)

    Saw this yesterday, didn't realize it was opening weekend so it was busier than I expected. There isn't much to say about the movie itself without risk of spoiler. The short version is I really enjoyed this film. Plemons and Stone were stellar. Stavros is a pretty minor roll, so don't let...

    Weapons (2025)

    I liked Longlegs, but Weapons was superior. I like how it told the story from various perspectives advancing it bit by bit, filling in gaps, etc. It was very engaging. It is also likely more accessible to the general public. I liked Longlegs, but it went too weird. Outside of ~5 - 10...

    Alien: Earth

    Could be strange, but the 'guy in a suit' movement made me like this more. Reminded me of Doug Jones (Hellboy Abe, Pan's Labyrinth Faun / Pale Man, etc.) at some level. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427964/

    The Naked Gun (2025)

    We saw this today, it was fine. I'll give it a solid B. Not great, but they really did try to honor the original. Some was a bit much (infrared scene), some was more traditional (crane), some more lonely Island (black eyed peas), and the rest somewhere in between it all. Not a bad theater...

    28 Years Later

    Not just dicks, but distractingly large / floppy when it comes to the alphas. Definitely showers.

    Dexter: Resurrection

    Channeling some Paul Smecker for sure.
