Handjob Cabin (2015)

Funny!!

[10/10 · 9 September 2019]

This is done a lot like those "Cabin Fever" movies - - minus the blood and disgust. Although it's certainly not the classic example of horror, it's hilarious if you know and recognize the tropes of the genre.

28 Weeks Later (2007)

A zombie spectacular you can't miss!!

[10/10 · 20 April 2019]

I saw this years ago on telly, much to my mum's chagrin. This movie both captivated and frightened me! The story is so well developed, containing believable, understandable characters, while never shying away or neglecting to delve into scary zombie action! I've heard people complain about not being able to get behind certain zombie films, especially if they're low budget, but this is no Kia, no; this is the zombie genre equivalent of a classy Land Rover. This story takes it back to the greats of such horror, how Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, George A. Romero, Richard Matheson and Hammer intended it.

The Death Train (1978 TV Movie)

Delightful spectacular film!! A must-see for anyone who enjoys good cinema!!

[10/10 · 17 February 2019]

This movie is absolutely amazing. It takes its' time unwinding an extraordinary plot centering around Ted Morrow (Hugh Keays-Byrne) as he investigates a death of an insurance client in the small town of Clematis. This film is delightful and well-told, the actors and actresses are natural and realistic. This would be an ideal film to sit down and watch alone, watch with friends, or even your kiddos, especially since it has absolutely zero violence or depravity. I really adore this film.

Shanghai Surprise (1986)

Madonna, Madonna, you are not Sharon Stone.

[2/10 · 5 January 2019]

For some reason, Madonna thought that midway through the 1980s it'd be a good idea to bring back slapstick AND film noir. Why couldn't she leave well enough alone?! Madonna is a great singer, but a really poor actress.

Thanatomorphose (2012)

Look, if you're squeamish and you think you're gonna make it through this, well; you just guess again!!

[10/10 · 26 December 2018]

Look, I sat through "The Green Inferno" and the "The Contracted" movies. This one was too gross and too hard to take. If you wanna watch a girl walk around her house and rot, go ahead, but this is what a realistic house tour with a rotting woman would be like. Consider yourself warned.

The Life Zone (2011)

This is alt-right propaganda!!

[26 December 2018]

I'm serious. The girls are shown as silly and immature for wanting rights for their bodies. They end up implicated as sinners for having/wanting abortions. I'm not, and never can be okay with this. If you are not a woman, you should not be deciding, nor making hateful propaganda films about anti-abortion. First off, it's the woman's decision, not anyone else's. It's always easier to make decisions when it's not your decision to even being making. Her body, her choice.

Contracted (2013)

Body Horror at it's best!!

[10/10 · 25 December 2018]

This is a really fun movie. It's horrifying, and there's kinda something funny about that guy that keeps showing up everywhere. It's kinda a zombie lifetime movie...lol

Bride of Chucky (1998)

The best yet!!

[10/10 · 21 December 2018]

Bride of Chucky is terrifically fun!! Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly are awesome as the serial killer voodoo-doll-couple Chucky and Tiffany.

Curse of Chucky (2013)

It was destined to be good anyway! But when Brad Dourif and Fiona Dourif are in it together, you KNOW it's bound to be good!!

[10/10 · 21 December 2018]

The Chucky franchise will always be classic! It outlived most '80s franchises, and has never had to officially be rebooted. It's timeless, and the crew and cast keep getting better and better. Brad Dourif is always better and better as Chucky, and Fiona Dourif is brilliant as Nica Pierce, a paraplegic at the mercy of Chucky.

Blood & Donuts (1995)

Vampire Comedy

[10/10 · 21 December 2018]

Love it. This movie is superb goth comedy!! This is very mild, non-gory, and a very decent vampire film. It also has an amazing soundtrack to go with it.

Who's That Girl (1987)

Play the note you know!!

[10/10 · 21 December 2018]

As they say in the song "One Note Samba" "play the note you know," never could this be more applicable to the infamously spectacular Madonna. Well-intentioned to be a slapstick-spectacular of '87, it fell grossly into obscurity, and I'm pretty sure most probably just PRETEND not to remember it. Madonna does not excel as a bumbling blonde circa 1930s. The 1930s slapstick is not convincing, nor is it harmonious the 1980s.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

Possibly the best in the franchise!!

[10/10 · 21 December 2018]

I know, I know, "The Road Warrior" was really awesome, but "Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome" is an archetypal journey, and Max transforms a lot. Max is like wine; he gets better and better. And while some might wince at the things he has to resort to, he never deviates from his principals or beliefs. This movie has an amazing cast. Mel Gibson and Tina Turner act well together, and Angry Anderson is awesome as Tina Turner's toadie.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

If you love George A. Romero's "Dead" franchise, you'll love this comedy!!

[10/10 · 20 December 2018]

Believe me, if you love Romero's zombie franchise, you're going to adore this zom-com. First off, it makes sure to pay a decent amount of homages to most of Romero's films, and the cast and characters are terribly amusing. The characters are terrific! Especially the guys in the warehouse. Spider and Trash are terribly amusing as the spacey, quirky ones of their punk group. Over all, a true delight. Especially if you're looking for something funny, but zombie, nonetheless.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Michael Crichton would be proud!!

[10/10 · 18 December 2018]

This is quite possibly the BEST movie in the most recent of the franchise. There's a wide variety of new dinosaurs to see, there's the classics from the original films, and the characters are unproblematic. Michael Crichton would be proud!!

The Thaw (2009)

I feel sick as I write this!!!

[3/10 · 18 December 2018]

This movie is sooooo gross!! Just a head's up, this movie has A LOT of blood, gore, and.....BUGS.....Lots and lots of BUGS..... Honestly, I don't really know at this point which there are more of: Bugs or blood.... View at your own discretion.... Just consider yourself WARNED....

Please Stand By (2017)

Quit exploiting autistic people and donate to causes instead!!

[1/10 · 18 December 2018]

As a person with autism, I am tired of seeing my ASD used as little more than a joke to assume people. Hollywood does not help address or empower these topics and conditions, they just exploit it for their own financial gain. The social awkwardness and anxiety of autism can be isolating and devastating, I know this, but to others it might look funny on the big screen. Don't do that. Don't laugh at people. We're not "nerds", we're not JOKES for your amusement, thank you. Thank u, next.

Dirty Teacher (2013 TV Movie)

Shamefully fun!!

[10/10 · 16 December 2018]

I watched this on a quiet Friday night the summer it aired. You wouldn't think it, since it is a low budget made for TV movie, but it's actually really good. If you're looking for something with plenty of suspense and lots of action, you'll like it.

Day of the Dead (1985)

If you love zombies, you're going to love this!!

[10/10 · 15 December 2018]

George Romero was truly the mastermind and king of the zombies. No one put more into the zombie genre than Mr. Romero himself. If you loved "Night of The Living Dead", naturally you knew you were going to like "Dawn of The Dead," and so, like with the others, of course you're going to like "Day of The Dead."

The story follows a team of scientists, working along with a small military detachment, who live in an underground silo and by day search for possible survivors. I won't tell you too much, but trust me, you're going to love it.

The Stand (1994)

Truly a legendary mini series....

[10/10 · 15 December 2018]

Stephen King truly has that Midas Touch. Everything he writes is golden brilliance, so it's not so shocking that most screen adaptions of his work are, too. Most of the series is true and accurate to the book, and Gary Sinise's portrayal of Stu Redman is pure radiance. I can think of no one better to play him than Gary Sinise.

All I See Is You (2016)

Visually breathtaking. A definite work of art!

[10/10 · 1 November 2018]

This movie is absolutely mesmerizing. If you are into deep, surreal, bizarre and stunning movies, you are going to LOVE "All I See is You"! Blake Lively is lovely, realistic and natural as Gina, and the entire cast is well-suited to their characters as well. The locations, colors, filming angles and extensive use of water, glass, flashing lights and flowers illustrate beautifully the contrast of blindness into sight.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Don't.

[1/10 · 2 September 2018]

Yep, you heard me....Just don't. If you love these characters, were hooked on the previous movies, *don't.* If you deal with anxiety, panic, depression, or anything else, *don't.* This movie is not like the others, and honestly, does not show much screen time for most the characters. It is much more violent and emotional than the previous films, but more than that, it is extremely disturbing. Basically, if you feel obligated to view it for your favorite characters, just beware, there's not much screen time for them, so don't push yourself, or feel like you have to do it. Also, I would definitely NOT take kids to see this, as the movie has a very dark and disturbing atmosphere to it.
