finished watching Against the Night 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Awesome location. Good cinematography and production. Liked the pacing and editing. Ending is goofy but fun.
Plot is meh. About 25% of the dialogue is cringe. Folks… you have to stop renaming your movie to include “Amityville” when it has nothing to do with Amityville.

Slapstick with slow plot

finished watching Electric Dreams 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Goofy music video collection with an LLM Cyrano de Bergerac through line. Bad voice acting on the overdubs
finished watching Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Basically just fantasy Star Trek in the desert. Moves at a nice pace. Not as clever or as fun as Beastmaster 2, but it’s less cheesy.

Fun anti-capitalist romp for the whole family… assuming your family likes body horror.

finished watching Fear City 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Needed multiple attempts to complete, because I kept falling asleep and it couldn’t hold my attention.
finished watching The Toxic Avenger 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Camp. Fun camera angles and creative kills. Impressive production, practical effects, and editing. Good pacing. EVERY ACTOR IS CHEWING EVERY PIECE OF THE SCENEY
finished watching Love Streams 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Frustrating and charmless. Hurt people hurt people
finished watching Children of the Corn 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Man, I love a good folk horror. Act 1 and act 2 were awesome. Great music. Okay cinematography.
Act 3 drags a bit and, like a lot of Stephen King stories, doesn’t feel like a satisfying conclusion.
finished watching Message from Space 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Really fun Star Wars knockoff stuff. Awesome soundtrack. Good miniatures. Great 3rd act.
Bad sound effects. Some really goofy main characters. Robot voice is obnoxious. Slow in the 1st and 2nd acts.

finished watching Scarface 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Amazing color. Beautiful cinematography at times. Slow camera moves build suspense like Hitchcock. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Feels like a slasher film.
Terrible, cheap-sounding synth film score. Rear projection driving looks so phony. Bad 80s “Push It To The Limit” montage.
finished watching Star Odyssey 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Slow with a boring plot. Unnecessary Star Wars ripoff

finished watching Amityville: The Awakening 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Interesting vegetative state plot point. Unconventional story. Legitimately creepy. There are 3 good suspenseful scenes. Good twist.
Jump scares! Does the school bell HAVE TO ring in every transition from home to school? Boo! Another jump scare! Way too much makeup. Jump scare! Jump scare! This teen is full of exposition. Cheesy dramatic choral music. Weak teenage acting. Ham-fisted voice over reminder above Chekhov’s bounding circle. Looksmaxxing zombie. Unnecessary cuts to house exterior. Stupid denouement.

finished watching The Dead Zone 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
I really like how it changes genres halfway. Good film score. Nicely paced. Intriguing
finished watching The Right Stuff 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
The moments of quiet interspersed with climactic moments is was makes this movie for me. Awesome cinematography.
finished watching Never Cry Wolf 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Nice cinematography. Good music.
finished watching The Beastmaster 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Good production quality. Nice cinematography. Nice film score.
The writers forgot that he’s the Beastmaster… not the Swordmaster. Overly long. Joyless plot. Not clever writing. He doesn’t use his powers to defeat the big boss. He just punches. Really drags in the middle. At least Beastmaster II was fun.
