Abigail

 Matt Bettinelli Olphin & Tyler Gillett do it again with Abigail. This might be a loose Dracula's Daughter film but it stands as it's own thing and greatly. It is a perfect double bill with Matt & Tyler's Ready or Not, an ensemble cast, dark humor & blood all around. The cast here works perfect, they are given depth in quick time and we see various sides of the characters. The humor doesn't derail the human aspect or the horror, it just feels real. The horror is a mix of classic horror mixed with post 90s in the know. This has already been a fantastic year for horror and this might be the best of the bunch thus far, toss up with Late Night With the Devil. 

The Beekeeper

 The Beekeeper starts off kind of interesting, a Rambo esque quiet man that is friends wit ha lady that cooks him meals, she is scammed so commits suicide, then he seeks revenge. There are some sweet kills but after the first 45 minutes this turns into a John Wick rip off, not only in terms of kills but in sets(the neon), lore(the deeper Hive/Continental) and characters(rich douches). Jason Statham's character becomes unreasonable and his end game feels a bit antagonistic. 

Match of March

 Hammerstone vs Josh Alexander 

Drive Away Dolls

 Wow, solo Coen Bros are 0 for 2 at the moment. Tragedy of Macbeth was a bore and Drive Away Dolls is a mess, waste of a cast, overly hammy moments, cringey acting and facial expressions, over acting, a almost faux neon noir vibe, forced sex scenes. I never thought a film with this many hot chicks i would find dull in the sex scenes, hell alot of the scenes....and the film in general, remind me of I Was a Teenage WereBear, it's that bad. It dragged ass, then at the end it just...ended......sure a very Coen thing to do but this was just lazy. It was just awful. 

Night Swim

 Night Swim shows that Blum House Productions have truly fallen off their glory. It's like Insidious meets Twilight Zone only not as great.....in fact it is quite laughable and cringe at times. The plot is contrived and the effects look cheap, all around it is very dull. I aw this days ago and already forgot most of it. 

Gidzilla X Kong

 

Godzilla X Kong is truly the summer blockbuster to Minus One's art house. The film isn't needed, but really has any Godzilla film been? Well these are insanely expensive films that are treated like Avengers, and let's face it even those films are dead. It's as if we are supposed to love returning characters, instead we are mainly forced to be with them. The battles are pretty choppy, the stuff with Zilla was just a place holder to give him scenes, the human plot was a device for Kong and the Kong angle....just didn't make sense. Let him face evil Kong, befriend toddler Kong, lead a revolution, get frost bite, get a new robotic arm, make friends with Zilla, use ice Zilla as a taxi and pet all while the other Kongs move rocks....lots of rocks. This film made no sense but it was dumb fun. But seriously, stick with Minus One. 

Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal

 Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal, might not be the best WWE doc, i do love the more documentary type of promotion WWE does for their Peacock flicks as opposed to the Network, but hose Network docs, and their DVD docs will always be king. Watching the Wyatt one though is a punch to the gut, seeing how loved he was, and what a mind for the industry he had is something we all knew but watching it here it really speaks volumes as to what he could have been and could have become.
