Lisa Frankenstein is an insanely cute & charming flick. Kathryn Newton continues her string of great roles and she is awkwardly perfect in this. For PG 13 it pushes the blood, has a wicked dark sense of humor and macabre, not to mention the great soundtrack.
So many films get slimed on unfairly, is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire a perfect film? Hardly. But is it alot of fun? Damn right. The plot might be repetitive and not all the jokes land but the cast is having a blast here and guess what, the characters bust ghosts....it's all you need. It's not perfect Ghostbusters cinema but it reminded me of the Real Ghostbusters cartoon, and in that capacity you get a fun ride!
Late Night With The Devil is a super refreshing horror film but one that also feels familiar. It is probably the best possession film in over a decade but it doesn't slap you in the face. It unravels as we watch it but it is never a slow burn, it's fun and funny without derailing the plot. For fans of WNUF Halloween Special, this is a perfect film for a double feature. Daniel Dastmalchian as usual knocks it out, an all the supporting cast serves their parts well. Everyone knew what type of film they were in and that makes for a perfect Halloween gem.
About a month ago i became aware of Hundreds of Beavers. I saw the trailer when the local art house Film Streams announced they'd be playing it. It looked bonkers, i had to see this modern version of Buster Keaton meets the Looney Tunes. And that is exactly what it was.....only it lacks the humor of those. I chuckled here and there.....well mainly smirked with a "Heh" but the joke ran it's course super quick. In fact they repeat jokes way too often here, this could have been a 45 minute short but instead it is an hour and 48 minute feature. This was a one night only showing, and the 166 capacity theatre was sold out, in fact i bought the last ticket. This? This of all movies is what brought out all the hipsters? Not just that but the boring dental art old people that want to feel cultured. The theatre management encouraged audience participation, and they were shouting as if it was their first time viewing it, the "midnight" vibe felt super forced. The crowd felt as if they were fake laughing all night but they surprisingly gave a huge round of applause at the end. I got as as quick as i wish this had ended.

Self Reliance has a great premise, a likable cast, a cute romance, but a totally choppy script. Jake Johnson runs with it as the lead, in his own film. It is jumbled but honestly it adds to the downward spiral he goes through. It still very much feels like a Hulu film thoughm kuje a fun one time watch that i honestly feel the most memorable part is Bill Wiff and Anna Kendrick.
