Hellraiser (2022) - 8/10
What a great return to form for the series. This is OG hellraiser through and through, and they don't shy away from any of the gore the series is known for. First act is a little slow to get in, but once it picked up I was all in. Theres no replacing Doug Bradley's Pinhead, so it's good that they don't really try, and instead offer a different take on the character. The actress lacks the presence and gravitas of Bradley, but she's creepy and disturbing, and still has her own unique aura of hellish nobility. Mind you I have a very heavy bias towards horror dealing with hell, demons, and cosmic horror, so a more meticulous veiwer might find more issue with it. But I would put this second only to the original 87 film. |

The Bidges of Madison County - 8/10
Ive spent a large portion of my life as drifter you could say. This film brought a lot of memories to light. The particulars struck me in a way thats probably pretty unique. In the abstract though this idea that there was one moment we have and once that moment is gone its gone forever really rings true. Outside of Eastwoods famously weird kissing its phenomenal and Streep is just as great. |

X- 7/10
Great homage to 70's style slashers. Some really great shots, and fun foreshadowing. Probably would rate it higher if I was really into slashers, but I've always preferred supernatural horror. |

Not really a movie but a documentary
Trainwreck: The story of Woodstock 99. Just floored by the story and everything that happened during it. |

I’m holding off on that one. It feels like that should be a Dark Side Of The 90’s episode.

Dumbo (Tim Burton) - 8/10
Was an enjoyable kids movie.... a lot more plot and story than the original Dumbo. Dumbo doesn't get blackout drunk and hallucinate though, so loses some points. |

Fignuts if you have a spare 90 minutes please watch Deadstream(I can link you if you can’t find it) and tell me what you think.
I like a good horror comedy and I found that one by looking for a film in which I recognised nobody. It is good. |

it was way better than i thought it would be. the lead annoyed the piss out of me but that was the idea so well done on that. i have enjoyed most of these social media/influencer inspired movies. superhost was a lot of fun, too.

Raya and the last dragon - 6.5/10
Really wanted to like this more but the messaging of "Trust people who intend to hurt you" brings it way down. |

I watched a horror comedy with Mark Proksch(Colin Robinson) called “Another Evil” that was basically “Creep” with a really weird atmosphere. I liked it though.

Deadstream was tremendous. Very reminiscent of Evil Dead with how it balances silly humor with genuine terror, as well the claustrophobic setting.
Prepare your anus, Seanny, cause you're getting that long awaited fignuts rep. |

The way it shaped up to be an obvious comedy then threw it sideways was nice. I think it was so well made because it was the lead that wrote it. I do enjoy a good auteur film, especially since the independent scene is so strong right now.
Gotta look up what Linas Phillips is up to later. Ain’t seen him much lately… Last edited by Seanny One Ball; 03-09-2023 at 11:46 AM. |

Black Adam - 6/10
Pretty damn poor..... had the potential to be great if they really leaned into the comics and tried to do a more faithful comics adaptation of the JSA "Black Reign" storyline.... sucks that the Justice Society had to get introduced like this.... hopefully not the last we see of them... Gonna read the "Black Reign" storyline right now to was the bad taste outta my mouth... |

But come on, it is like suuuuuuch a tease to choose to include the JSA and those characters in particular and not even TRY to do a half decent Black Reign adaptation.....

I don't disagree.
From the trailers, I got the vibe that he was just the dude from Fast & Furious with superpowers. |

Bullet Train (2022) - 7/10
Real fun time. Im not sure if i should praise the screen writer or the author of the novel. Likely both. The film has outstanding rhythm. The dialogue is sharp and flows at a beautiful pace. The action has that same consistency. The plot itself is clever and the whodunnit nature of how information is revealed to the audience is very satisfying. Its very clever visually. All the characters are really well conceptualized. It has a ton going for it. If you're in a good mood and want some action comedy you wont go wrong with this. |

The Deer Hunter (1979) - 4/10
Fuck subtext i guess you kids want some overt propaganda? Im the most antiwar person ive ever met and i found this forced and contrived. There is nothing honest in this script. Its just Hollywood lecturing for a painful 3hrs. This is the kind of writng we get today, abliet less elegant not nearly as well acted. Thats the real tragedy of this picture. Fuck the war. These performances are so fucking good. And this film just isnt. Here they sit trapped in a 3hr bumper sticker. I hate war. I hate the vietnam war more than most wars as far as rank ordering such things goes. I hate being told what to think more. This script is basically a writer lazily going down a checklist. And that fucking ending. Fuck you. There's nothing honest about it. Its so forced everyone who watches this picture should press charges for rape. |

Cimino spent an hour on the prelude which was mostly wedding footage and then raced through important sections of storyline because so much time was spent just looking at things…Then when it comes time to find out what happened to John Savage they just show him suddenly missing limbs!
The plot is really just an outline, nothing in the story is well conceived or particularly well planned out. The entire thing seems to be an excuse for Michael Cimino to be a cinematographer but get called a director. I gave it 3/10 and I was mad when I finished watching it. |

There’s a tremendously enjoyable documentary about “Heaven’s Gate” the doomed frontier epic Cimino chose to direct next. It’s important to understand exactly why this idiot sucks balls, and this documentary gets right into it.
I think it stands alongside the great production disaster documentaries, there are a lot of them now… |
