Ravenous
Netflix produced yet another film, and this film wants to be Walking Dead. Do you love Walking Dead? Do you love the slow episodes that border on being pretentious & tedious? Love the characters walking? Walking without saying much? Walking, without saying much while having few zombies? Then this is the flick for you!
The Strangers: Prey at Night
Decade later sequels can be a scary thing, some can be awful(Think Sin City, okay it only 9 years) but The Strangers is one that works. Sure most are hating on it, but it is just as creepy as the original. The first is highly suspenseful and gave legit fears, cause unlike zombies, this shit could happen anyday. This one is more of a slasher film, with a killer soundtrack......okay, i'll see myself out. This is the best theatrical slasher in a long time, and unlike the first, which is great, this one is kinda fun. It helps with the colors and music, but you also connect more with the two leads. The gore is plenty, and it is a fast paced film. Horror fans, slasher fans, whatevs, should dig this, I had a blast with it. I'd take a dumb slasher like this over a boring piece of shit like the Phantom Thread anyday. Actually, hold up, the film isn't even dumb, it has heart behind it, plus there is character backstory on display to give it extra meat. It isn't as good as the original, but it is a fun sequel, all i wanted from it!

Thoroughbreds
This is a perfect fucking film. It is stylish, witty, funny, bloody, sexy. It is well acted, well shot, has a brilliant score. Trailers had me thinking Heathers, the first 15 minutes or so reminded me of a Donnie Darko era Richard Kelly(was there another era?) . The film unravels in such away that at first you admire how it is shot, then you are taken back by the script, this screenplay I hope is nominated for best screenplay, it is great, then you are amazed at how brilliant the cast is, and the cast is indeed brilliant. The characters are multi layered even if one, or both are sociopaths, the "antagonist" is a real fucking prick, their patsy you feel for. These are all flared characters, these are all flawed wealthy characters, these are all flawed, wealthy characters that do fucked up things. This film isn't fucked up, but it is brilliant enough, funny enough & bloody enough to deserve to be a cult classic. I hope it becomes one, cause honestly at the moment this is far and beyond everything else i have seen this year. I fucking loved this film, it is perfect.

Hurricane Heist
Rob Cohen isn't a great director, hell he isn't even a good director but he is a fun director. This here is a fun film, a bad film but a fun film. A decent cast of character actors, in scene chewing roles, in a rednecks save the day(sort of) with a binch of shitty CGI 7 over the top moments. All i really wanted was cheesey dialogue, unrealistic looking moments, such as being strapped to a mall while being sucked through the roof. Phantom Thread? No thank you. Hurricane Heist? Yes please! I could watch & mock this in the future, or just shut off my mind and pop it on. It is a fun film, as i said, bad, but oh so fun!

Death Wish
I love Eli Roth, but each film of his i seem to like less than the previous....until now. I love Death Wish, the originals, and this one i thought looked like shit, but after viewing it, holy hell, what a fun flick! Pure badassery, just Paul Kersey shooting bad guys. Before he goes all vigilante, Bruce Willis was a bit of a chore, as was much of the film, but 15 or so minutes in, it switches gears and the film never stops kicking ass. So many claimed this to be a racist flick, fuck that noise. He protects many minorities, plus most of the villains are white. The film is a perfect companion to the original. Fun film, fast story, great gore, ass kicking good time!

Red Sparrow
John Wick helped get Atomic Blonde made, during production of Atomic Blonde, it is possible it helped get Red Sparrow made. While John Wick is pure bad ass, Atomic Blonde wasn't quite as badass and used a bit more of dull plot points from 90s & 00s espionage flicks. Red Sparrow does the same but increases the blood. This is a bloody flick, but not quite as stylized as Blonde was. The script easily could have been the Black Widow movie or even a sequel to Hannah, but instead it is basically just a contrived & dull story wrapped around a sexy ass Jennifer Lawrence killing people. For what it is worth, the plot & story are on par with Atomic Blonde, but Blonde had better action, not to mention a fantastic soundtrack, this gets Jennifer Lawrence nude. So fair trade!
