I’m happy to report that Incredibles 2, while not soaring to the exact heights of its predecessor, is still a very worthy sequel that even manages to outshine the original in select areas.

If you can hang onto the final nightmarish act, that’s when Hereditary is at its best, finally picking up a sense of momentum and finality.

Revenge is a grisly, gory, and wild genre movie that will appeal to fans of indie thrillers but also extend behind that loyal clientele.

Solo is hard to justify except as an increasingly tedious appeasement to the greater altar of fan service.

Soft Matter is about a quest for immortality until a sea god shows up and ruins everything. I think.

There are places where Gehenna shines better than many (arguably) better movies. Mostly in the makeup and gore effects.

DEAD LIST isn't a bad movie, I just wish it was a little more fucked-up.

The appeal of Deadpool 2 is still its comedic voice and unpredictability.

It’s an epic, entertaining, and enjoyable movie, but Infinity War can also leave you hanging.

I wasn’t so sure about it myself, but I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker had me within the first ten minutes.

Rampage is exactly a big, dumb monster movie based upon a flimsy premise of an arcade smash-‘em-up, and it’s also just about everything you’d ask it to be.

Blame! is a solid science fiction action-adventure with hints of A Fistful of Dollars and The Road Warrior.

With all that being said, A Quiet Place is an ingenious little thriller with near flawless execution.

Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay would have also benefited from a more adult approach to its exploitation aspects.

In Dark Forest, Boyer often has his characters sit around and tell stories to each other in scenes that come across as overly obvious attempts at creating verisimilitude.

Where the first Pacific Rim rode the wave carefully to find a middle ground between cheese and awe, this time the movie swerves far more into cheese.

Ready Player One is a loving homage to pop-culture without being suffocated by the cumulative artifacts of pop-culture.

Tomb Raider is a smaller, leaner, and enjoyable little action movie of modest ambitions.

If you get the chance to see Bakerman, you should not pass it up.

I loved the cinematography in so much of this that I can tell you I’ll definitely watch it again just to enjoy and maybe even learn a little bit from some of the angles and setups used
