As the Young Sentinels race to return home, the...

Eugenie

Eugenie: Directed by Jesús Franco. With Maria Rohm, Marie Liljedahl, Jack Taylor, Christopher Lee. An innocent girl goes to spend the weekend on an island with a woman and her brother, but soon finds herself entangled in a web of sexual experiments. Undeservedly rated “X”, which I think is largely from both the lesbian kissin’ and the satanic rituals, other than that, this is a sometime out of focus suspense film set to a soundtrack that sounds like the cousin of Tinto Brass, which isn’t a good fit for what they’re trying to do here. While they’re being all spooky...

The Forged Volume 1

In the 11th millennium of the rule of the Eternal Empress a squad of planet-smashing super soldiers find their routine mission to be anything but. These are the Set in a universe that reminds me GREATLY of the Warhammer 40k universe with a Eternal Empress on the throne and “Forged” soldiers based off her DNA that has abilities and mech suits out fighting the filth of the galaxy. Don’t get me wrong though, this is a GOOD series that I highly suggest to anyone that wants to read some large format comics that really kick into high gear in the...

Deep Water

Deep Water: Directed by Adrian Lyne. With Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas, Tracy Letts, Grace Jenkins. A well-to-do husband who allows his wife to have affairs in order to avoid a divorce becomes a prime suspect in the disappearance of her lovers. The description of the film up there is completely wrong, there’s absolutely no “understanding” and Affleck’s character is very much aware of his wife’s infidelity and is very much not ok with what’s going on. It’s a story by numbers movie right up until the third act in which absolutely everything gets flipped upside down and there’s a...

Inside

Inside: Directed by Vasilis Katsoupis. With Willem Dafoe, Gene Bervoets, Eliza Stuyck, Andrew Blumenthal. Nemo, a high-end art thief, is trapped in a New York penthouse after his heist doesn’t go as planned. Locked inside with nothing but priceless works of art, he must use all his cunning and ingenuity to survive. I feel like this is a good movie. But I didn’t like it. There’s a lot to like, but I think the end result isn’t something that I like. I WANT to like it, but alas, I do not. Is this art? Buy On Amazon!

The Portable Door

The Portable Door: Directed by Jeffrey Walker. With Christoph Waltz, Patrick Gibson, Damon Herriman, Sophie Wilde. Paul Carpenter is an intern at a mysterious London firm with unconventional employers, including a CEO who wants to disrupt the ancient magical world with modern corporate practices. An adorable and loveable movie about a guy finding his place in the world and just going with the flow when it turns out that his place is in a magical….place? It was a pleasure to see Sam Neill an Christopher Waltz again, I’m not sure if I’ve seen Sophie Wilde or Patrick Gibson before, but...

65

65: Directed by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods. With Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, Chloe Coleman, Nika King. An astronaut crash lands on a mysterious planet only to discover he’s not alone. A well done but completely forgettable story of a man and a child running to a rescue spaceship while dodging dinosaurs. I have no complaints about the film at all but there’s not much that’s truly memorable about it, other than the final “impact” of the third act, which is sorta a 20 million year old spoiler, but I think in context of the movie, it’s best to leave that...

Power & Glory (1994)

Written and created by Howard Chaykin. A crime fighter is genetically engineered to be a super-hero – but when the test goes awry and he doesn’t have the super-hero qualities needed, he has to be teamed up with a former CIA agent who is the brains behind the duo. One gets all the glory while one has all the power. I picked up this mini series from the dollar bin at a local shop because I’m interested in super hero stories from defunct companies and universes. The Malibu publisher’s mark interested me, but I should have paid more attention to...

Evil Dead Rise

Evil Dead Rise: Directed by Lee Cronin. With Mirabai Pease, Richard Crouchley, Anna-Maree Thomas, Lily Sullivan. A twisted tale of two estranged sisters whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable. This is the first Evil Dead movie that I’ve seen that wasn’t by Sam Rami, but Lee Cronin captured a few of Rami’s old tricks so well that I had to look it up to be sure. I skipped the previous film in the franchise, which was apparently...

The Pope’s Exorcist

The Pope’s Exorcist: Directed by Julius Avery. With Russell Crowe, Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe, Franco Nero. Follow Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican’s leading exorcist, as he investigates the possession of a child and uncovers a conspiracy the Vatican has tried to keep secret. For a ridiculous possession movie, this wasn’t half bad, with some pretty ok acting, a simple enough story, and some special effects that worked for me, particularly once they got to the final battle arena and they found the demon.
