Could've used more bear. Aubrey Plaza really shines in this one — whether she's deadpan in the opening act where she trades places with Sarah Gadon or the messy, emotional wreck starring in the film directed by Christopher Abott. And by shines I mean tha...

This thing starts at a run, quickly picks up speed until it hits a dead sprint and then slides into a horrifying finish greased by blood coating the victims and the protagonists. It's unbelievably difficult to free yourself of an evil that feasts on human ...

A polar bear fell on me. Violent, hilariously 80s, cliched and utterly ridiculous. It's a classic. Swayze does Swayze things and it's oh so appropriate that the director's name is Rowdy. (Also, the Jake Gyllenhaal remake was better.)

I turned this on and I hated — HATED — the way it was shot. Then I got over it. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña are fabulous in what amounts to a relentlessly watchable buddy cop movie shot documentary style. Abrasive, gripping, stressful — far exc...

Dull, violent and devoid of a discernible plot or engaging performances. It’s vaguely entertaining and not totally unwatchable but it’s basically all over the top violence, gore and juvenile humor.

One of those movies that aims for profundity but instead works best as idle background noise. Nic Cage does Nic Cage things and well, yeah — good enough.

FUCK That's it. That's all I've got — most of what I've got. A meditation on grief that wraps a loss up in horror, depression, isolation and suicidal ideation. Is any of this real? How could someone you loved disappear so abruptly, violently and leave on...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/robocop-1987 · 7 Nov 2024
I’ll buy that for a dollar! Union-busting, privatization of vital public services, rampant corruption, tech companies over-promising (who needs police when you have an untested robot that can’t navigate stairs? Or why not test satellite-mounted lasers ...

One of my coping methods/self-care strategies is throwing on movies or TV (AirPods in) and exercising before everyone else wakes up. This is today's movie. An effective true crime thriller that — sadly — is rooted in themes that are far too common in t...
