Longlegs
Logan D. McCoy - wrote on 07/24/24
It grabs you almost immediately, and while it doesn't keep the tightness in its grip all the way through, "Longlegs" keeps the pressure on long enough to at least earn a rec as a solid 90s throwback.

MaXXXine
Logan D. McCoy - wrote on 07/10/24
Giallo-style stalker thriller infused with a traditional Hollywood stardom fable, "MaXXXine" ends Ti West's art-house slasher trilogy on a solid (not high, but solid) note while blessing us with another knockout performance by Mia Goth.

Getting too bland for this s**t
I cannot say this is a bad sequel per se but it's a very bland one. I think the best BHC sequel is 'METRO' and that's not even the same Eddie Murphy character. The plot is paint-by-numbers and the villain is super-obvious. What a shock! It's Kevin Bacon. How clever!
The opening chase scene with a snow plow is actually quite fun and lures you into thinking you'll have a fun time. A good chunk of the middle portion is focused on his estranged daughter who is not that interesting.
It's weird …

Kinds of Kindness

"Kinds of Kindness" is Lanthimos returning to the smaller scale but courageously ambiguous format of "The Lobster" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer." Fascinating even though I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it.

A Quiet Place: Day One

Great set pieces but held together by the thinnest plot (full of holes by the way) yet in the "A Quiet Place" saga.

A Great Date Movie Full of Laughs
I saw this movie at an early release event. It's a movie that's predictable from beginning to end. It has a bit of "will they/won't they" romance thrown in (spoilers, they will) for good measure. But the movie doesn't strive to be the next cinematic masterpiece, it's a simple story executed. It also delivers quite a few laughs, according to the theater I was in. It's a great date movie that doesn't reinvent the wheel but uses it to take you for a ride.
One thing that will irritate me, and …

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter One
Logan D. McCoy - wrote on 06/29/24
What should have been an event is really a grueling exercise. I could think of a dozen other westerns I'd of rather watched than this weakly characterized and muddled epic without much scope or excitment. Not a great start for this proposed series.

The Bikeriders

An often brutal, very authentic, and stunningly gorgeous snapshot of a culture even if it's more an invocation of great movies than a great movie itself.

Trigger Warning

Jessica Alba looks tough but this movie is very sloppy and the action is not even that good. Another stinker from Netflix.
