Anything For Jackson is a creepy, atmospheric and disturbed take on grandparents love, kidnapping and the supernatural. Part hostage film, for demonic possession, this film is way better than i anticipated and has pretty stellar acting. Most enjoyable film from Shudder in about two months.
Well Utopia is a series that truly needed a second season. Five comic book nerds at convention each want to see a rare comic that was found, people are killed, but it seems the comic holds some facts. The lead character of the comic is real and "protecting" the nerds, meanwhile Cpt. Coronavirus and his Impossible Whopper is here to send people to the con to kill everyone. Luckily Rain Wilson has the vaccine, but he'll need help from an 8 year old girl. People die, bum underground syndicates are sought out, synthetic humans are on the rise....and we are cancelled after one season....this show was sweet, contrived but sweet.
Iron Mask, the sequel to Viy, is a mess but a gorgeous mess. Even when the effects and scenery looks cheap it still looks gorgeous. The dragons are badass, the fights are fun and Jackie Chan along with Arnold Schwarzenegger ham it up and steal the show. Their fight in particular is hilarious, the film itself is not very good but i had a fun time with it.

Train TO Busan is easily one of if not THE best zombie film in the past decade. Hell it is one of the best zombie films EVER. When a sequel was announced i was weary. Why? Why do a sequel? What is the point? The original tells a great story and you care for the characters. Zombies on a train could be B material but they turned it into kick ass art. The trailer for the second one didn't win me over, in fact it made me less excited. Did i want to rent the film for $20? If i was excited from the announcement maybe. Did i want to rent it for $10? Maybe if the trailer sold me. So here we are renting it for $4....and i still feel ripped. This isn't just a by the numbers zombie film, no this feels like a late 00s/early 10s January release of a horror action film. In name only this will either piss off fans of the original or people that want to praise every horror film will love it. This should not be named Train to Busan, even then you can't improve quality of a runaway train to redundantville.
I think besides the Mandalorian that Hunters is my favorite series of the year. One part Martin Scorsese, one part Quentin Tarantino, one part 70s men on a mission TV series. The 70s setting fits perfect along I'm Dying Up Here and Vinyl which also oozed Scorsese touches. The exploitation elements and 70s sitcom and commercial moments felt like pure QT. A Nazi hunting show with a musical number and fake trailers? This show is a gift! Even though the pilot is 90 minutes(the rest are hour long) they all fly by, and each episode feels important with hardly any padding. Witty, violent and full of dark humor, the show has a message that resonates today. Sure there might be some errors here or there but the plot and cast makes you forget em, after all it is quasi exploitation. The entire cast is excellent but i think Josh Radnor steals the show. I wish i had watched it when it first started but now i am stoked for season 2!
The fourth season of Fargo is the best season yet. It feels the most Coen Brothers of the bunch and i loved the GoT level of families jockeying for position at the top of the crime world. It also featured the best use of side plots and the stinger on the finale really changed the entire series.
