The most gruesome entry in the franchise AND a touching tribute to Tony Todd?!?! This one’s got it all!

So much fun to watch this with a late night audience that was hoopin’ and hollerin’ every time someone got smooshed into oblivion.

Not very freaky but those were certainly tales

Lu’s father is a hulking shark man sporting a top hat, suit, and purple pipe. He is covered in live, wriggling fish that plop to the ground with every step he takes. He’s non-verbal, smiles a lot, and wants to break into the fishing industry. Everyone acts like this is all totally normal and he’s just a regular, everyday business person.

What’s not to like?

Damn Verhoeven! This one goes hard as Hell. Tough as nails and thoroughly disgusting. The only tender moment depicts two people having a ‘meet cute’ beneath hanged rotting corpses while discussing death semen.

Sloooooooow and bruuuuuuuuutal. The wild ending made up for the lengthy emotional slog but only slightly.

Beautifully animated dream logic anthology. The biggest downside is that it’s only 50 mins.

That pawn shop owner just had a harpoon gun locked, loaded and ready-to-rip in his store? And it was aimed directly at whoever was behind the cash ? And the only thing that stopped it from being fired was a rope that a rat could easily chew through???? I don’t know about that. I liked this movie ok and everything…but I don’t know about that.

Labeling this a comedy = Labeling ‘Nutty Professor II: The Klumps’ a family drama

‘A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night’ but with more of an ‘Amelie’ vibe. Extra points for having Brenda Lee on their deathbed playlist.

“This is going to end badly…I know because I read the script.”

Note to Jim Jarmusch re: being Mel Brooks:
Jim Jarmusch, you are not Mel Brooks.

“I don’t understand you, but I love you”

Pros: CD Face
Cons: Camera Face

Part One: “Haha wow!!”
Part Two: “Uhhhh what’s all this now?”
Part Three: “zzzzzZZZZzzzz”
Ending: “Haha wow!!”

Half cheesy rom com / Half someone projectile vomits all over a mutilated corpse.

During the opening montage of Porky and Daffy growing up together there is a quick glimpse of teenage Porky with a scraggly starter beard, wearing a pullover hoodie with the hood up covering most of his face, and with full force angst grumbles “can I go back up to my room now?!” before storming off. It felt 100% real to the teen experience. It’s little moments like this that make Porky and Daffy feel like real deal people trying to make it through life in a looney world.

Oh my goodness no to all of this

“We’re haole as shit”

“Sheriff went down to the diner…”
A master class in the art of misdirection.

If prank phone calls got the Jerky Boys into trouble with the mob then goddamn prank phone calls are the only thing that will save them!

As kids, my friends and I would listen to the Jerky Boys’ albums repeatedly and laugh till we cried. Even back then when we finally saw their movie the general consensus was “meh” at best.

Now, revisiting it as an adult, I can firmly declare this miserable, piece-of-shit to be complete trash. I feel like I’ve been phone pranked by the Jerky Boys and guess what it feels deeply unfunny.

Shocked by how much I liked this one! Zero expectations going into it. Much much better than the first but still way too damn long. Some well deserved jump scares throughout. Naomi Scott killed it in every scene.

Shout out to seeing Kier-La Janisse’s House Of Psychotic Women on their nightstand not once but twice!

“I want you to do something. I want you to get up there and see what the situation is. I want Hill 210 in my hands tonight. Now, goddamn it! The iral got up at dawn for this! Come to life down there, Staros! Out!”

Here’s a fun and disorienting game to play while watching The Last Slumber Party: What is Dr. Sickler getting up to?

Is he performing lobotomies at the hospital? Is he just now leaving the hospital and heading home? Is he just now leaving his home to head into the hospital? Is he at a convenience store chatting with local teenagers? Is he at home chatting with his daughter and her friends? Is he making a phone call from his home to chat with a nurse at the hospital? Is he making a phone call from the hospital to chat with his wife at home? Is he wandering around his house looking for his wife? Is he floating dead in a swimming pool? Is he not dead at all?

The answer is a resounding yes! Dr Sickler is doing all those things seemingly at the same exact time.

There’s a scene played out through a series of living tableaus of the swing girls being chased through the woods by a wild boar to ‘What A Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong. The boar is defeated when one of the girls falls out of a tree and crushes its skull with their butt. Pure magic from start to finish.

Falls somewhere between The Sweet Hereafter and Crash (2004). Truly miserable. It wants so bad to be incredibly deep but continually goes out of its way to make itself impossible to engage with. Only good thing I can say about it is that Jackie Earle Haley’s mustache looked nice.

Vincent Price! Christopher Lee! Peter Cushing! John Carradine! All together for a murder mystery in an old, spooky house on a dark and stormy night. I wish I could say it’s fun but unfortunately it’s a gargantuan snooze fest. Although you do get to hear Christopher Lee call Vincent Price a bitch which is sort of worth the price of ission.

“Do you ever feel evil?”

There’s a deep chill that whips through this movie. Everything is covered in snow while foreboding crows loom above. Everyone is a good and decent person until confronted with the possibility of mysterious, untold riches. Then all their humanity quickly disappears and the bodies start to pile up as they scramble to maintain the treasure for themselves. Brrrrr!

Great cast, great script, great direction. All in all just a really well-made, cold-blooded thriller. Love the fact that Paxton’s character already has a GOOD life but falls into darkness trying to manufacture a BETTER life for himself.

Clarence Williams III’s performance is the crown jewel of this movie. He has a gut-wrenching monologue that gave me chills for days.

“Twelve milkmen is theoretically possible. Thirteen is silly. Looks like there’s one milkman too many, Coogan.”

What an absolute treasure! There’s nothing else like it.

Perfect movie.

The guiltiest of all pleasures.

Whenever I’m feeling particularly sad this is my go-to comfort movie to give me that little hit of Gleemonex I desperately need.

The ultimate one night stand
