A satirical, witty, gruesome, oversexed and utterly over the top sci fi film. It's a cautionary tale of reckless militarism and succeeds in large part by embracing how absolutely over the top it all is. A classic with lessons that are still applicable toda...

A tense thriller that feels right at home in the early 2000s. It's perfectly cast and Ted Levine voices Rusty Nail exceptionally well. It's a fun watch, minimally gruesome and the kind of popcorn movie I'd happily throw on again.

A musically well-researched, taught, relentlessly entertaining and utterly horrifying thriller. The band (actually) sounds solid, has some great stickers on their van and ends up in hell chasing a guarantee (siphoning gas along the way). The cast is strong...

As fun as it is absurd. Upsetting Jason Statham never seems to go well for anyone. Except for The Rock, but he’s not in this movie, so yeah — bad news all around.

If movies could be summed up by associating them with a color this one would be a dull gray. The whole thing is drab. The performances are flat, the plot is tiresome and as much as you'd hope that an otherwise talented cast could buoy this thing, it just s...

Dwayne Johnson! Pablo Schreiber! Predictable double crosses, explosions, stunts and adequately believable villains. Fun, not good. I didn't expect good, it delivered fun.
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/summer-of-84-2018 · 12 Jun 2024
Unfortunately, this one really wasn't all that fun and it certainly wasn't great. It was decent. I love a good riff on Rear Window (see Disturbia ) but Summer of 84 was fairly mediocre throughout. The cast did a decent job, but the story was predictable an...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/mad-max-2-1981 · 2 Jun 2024
This is closer to what I expected out of the first Mad Max movie . It's decidedly post-apocalyptic in the way I expected the first entry in the franchise to be. It sees Max scavenging for supplies in an apocalyptic wasteland, reluctantly striking a deal wi...

Announcing that this is set in the "near future" via a brief interstitial was an abrupt way to start things. That said, it wastes no time jumping into an action packed chase scene, before settling into a more relaxed pacing. None of this feels particularly...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/halloween-ends-2022 · 28 May 2024
This movie was and wasn't necessary and was barely fun and not good. It was necessary inasmuch as Halloween Kills didn't settle what happened to Michael. I suppose it could have, but I guess that leaves that list bit of money they could squeeze out of this...
