I really dug most of Johannes Robers work, especially Resident Evil. Primate is his latest and i was interested in it, just never got around to seeing it in the cinema. Kinda glad I watched it on a stormy day instead because......this was beyond dull. Animal attack films are far and few between these days and as much as I love ape films.....this missed the mark. Unlikeable characters, cringey dialogue, a boring plot, I legit could not wait for it to end.
I knew the Simpsons had a shorter season, and i watched the finale 24 hours after it aired, but i still didn't realize it was over until about a month ago. This season was a step up from last year, still not as great as say 10 years ago but it was a solid season with lots of commentary and fan service.
The Super Mario Bros Movie was fantastic. It was fun, nostalgic, had heart and a simple story. The sequel is just the same. While I prefer the first this one still makes you have that awe and wonder that usually isn't present with many modern blockbusters. Colorful and imaginative, this is a perfect family film and a perfect video game film. Seeing this in a packed house full of kids and adults was perfect, it's how Star Wars is and how MCU used to be. Bring on the third, bring on a universe.
Ready or Not is a favorite of mine of the 10s. I didn't want or need a sequel but I was still accepting of one, and the cast was lining up to be great.....and they nailed it. This is a fun sequel that while far fetched makes sense. Grace and Faith are fantastic final girls and the world building here rivals John Wick. It's bloody, funny and super fast paced.
They Will Kill You is a film that i wish i could see as a double bill with Ready or Not 2. This is Ready or Not taking place in John Wick's Continental but cycled through martial arts and exploitation. From the opening scene to the credits it is basically non stop carnage. Zazie Beetz as usual kills it, as does the entire cast. Social commentary, gnarly kills, over the top gore, dark humor and super stylish this film is a blast.
1000 Women in Horror proves once again that Shudder does not skimp on docs. This shows a history of women in horror by showing the life cycle of women. Kids, teens, adults, elderly, this covers it. The talking heads here add actual insight and not just about film but what it truly feels to be a woman. A
