Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: With Anna Sawai, Kiersey Clemons, Ren Watabe, Joe Tippett. Set after the battle between Godzilla and the Titans, revealing that monsters are real, follows one family’s journey to uncover its buried secrets and a legacy linking them to Monarch. I somehow neglected to mention that I watched “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”, so here it is, my review: This is a perfectly fine series that wasn’t necessary and spent way too much time on the people instead of the monsters or their legacies. In fact, the “legacy of monsters” here might be a reference to some of...

Immaculate: Directed by Michael Mohan. With Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Simona Tabasco, Benedetta Porcaroli. Cecilia, a woman of devout faith, is warmly welcomed to the picture-perfect Italian countryside where she is offered a new role at an illustrious convent. But it becomes clear to Cecilia that her new home harbors dark and horrifying secrets. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie that was a singular genre without any stray drifting into another, and this is nothing more than a straight horror film. No ironic jokes, no dramatic romances, no goofy side characters, nothing at all to distract from...

Ricky Stanicky: Directed by Peter Farrelly. With Riley Stiles, Oscar Wilson, Gaius Nolan, Brian Jarvis. When three childhood best friends pull a prank that goes wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble. Twenty years later, they still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. A fun movie with a ton of NSFW humor and all sorts of lessons to be learned about making the right type of friends and how you should really not talk to strange men that come up to you at the bar and offer calamari....
Halo: Created by Steven Kane, Kyle Killen. With Pablo Schreiber, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray. With the galaxy on the brink of destruction, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. The general consensus is that season one of the show was pretty rough and nearly every art of it was either straight up bad or could have been done better. Season two sanded off some of those rough edges and nipped some of the more strange or silly plot elements that weren’t working, but it still has worlds to go...
Money Shot: The Pornhub Story: Directed by Suzanne Hillinger. With Noelle Perdue, Michael Stabile, Wolf Hudson, Siri Dahl. Follow the rise of the most famous adult entertainment platform and the recent backlash it has received. It’s a good look at the history of PH, but eventually devolves into some kind of weird expose on a religious organizations intense hatred for free speech, pornography of any kind, and the lengths they sunk to trying to take down a few websites that served up x-rated entertainment. I really wish it went more into the actual title subject and looked into the history...
Blood Red Sky: Directed by Peter Thorwarth. With Peri Baumeister, Carl Anton Koch, Alexander Scheer, Kais Setti. A woman with a mysterious illness is forced into action when a group of terrorists attempt to hijack a transatlantic overnight flight. A mixed language film that’s in both German (I think?) and heavily accented English, so I would suggest having subtitles on for the entire thing, which obviously means you’ll need to be giving the film your full undevoted attention, which sadly it doesn’t quite actually deserve that level of attention. The special effects are darn good and the acting is from...

It’s well enough written and all the main points of the stories...
