"A scream is a wish your heart makes" When looked at from a purely WTF angle, this shitcrazed garbage movie (which is a lot like it's Staten Island Ferry setting, filthy, disgusting, & crusty) is weirdly entertaining, and loads better than any of the rabid plethora of public domain horror films bloodying up the cinematic waters as of late. Sure, it's badly acted (comically bad by some), and really makes no narrative sense at times, and for some reason, the size of our intrepid anti-hero villain, the public domain-inized Steamboat Willie, keeps changing from a few inches tall to about a foot tall, but it's still a fun ride - and in something deeper than mere MST3K style. David Howard Thornton, best known for his manic portrayal of Art the Clown in the Terrifier series, seems to take more than just a little glee in playing wild Willie - and i took more than a little glee in watching him take more than a little glee. And that one scene (if you've seen the mov...

Here is my Countdown of the 25 Best Movies of 2022. Before we begin, here are a few Honourable Mentions, in no particular order: Amsterdam; Empire of Light; Top Gun Maverick; Fresh; All Quiet on the Western Front; Catherine Called Birdy; Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio; The Northman; Cha Cha Real Smooth; and X . And awaaaaay we go.... 25. Bullet Train (David Leitch) - Directed by David Leitch, the man responsible for John Wick, as well as the director of Deadpool 2 and one of the Fast & Furious movies (can anyone tell them apart anyway) this is a non-stop action comedy headlined by a fabulously fun Brad Pitt as a reluctant assassin. 24. Triangle of Sadness (Ruben Östlund) - Winner of the Palme d'Or at last year's Cannes Film Festival, this is a strange little comedy about class warfare amongst marooned yacht passengers and personel that brings on the Luis Buñuel vibe big time. 23. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Rian Johnson) - Slightly better than the first movie...

The world of Jurassic Park. There have been six movies in total. Three Jurassic Park movies and three Jurassic World movies. So, now that I've seen the sixth in the franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion, I can make my opinions known on how they should be ranked. I think number one is obvious, but I'm a completist, so here goes... 1. Jurassic Park (1993) - Obviously the original is the best. It's not even a contest. Anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong. The first film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is not only the best of the Jurassic movies, it is also one of the best monster movies of all time. One of the greatest Summer blockbusters of all-time. Alongside Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark (both Spielberg films as well) it shows how a big time action movie should be made. In fact, it's more than just one of the best action and/or monster movies of all-time. The movie sits proudly in my 100 favourite movies of all-time. Genres be damned! Laura Dern. Sam Neill. Je...

Take Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle. Blend in some Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Toss in a dash of Wong Kar-wai. Fold in some screwball comedy and a smidgen of nihilism. Toss it all together with society's recent fascination with the idea of a multiverse, and you have Everything Everywhere All at Once - a movie that definitely lives up to it's portentous title. Directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Schienert, known collectively as Daniels, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the tale of Evelyn, a struggling, dissatisfied wife and mother and owner of a laundromat. Her life didn't go as expected and now she is just going through the motions. Her husband wants a divorce (though she doesn't know that yet), her father is a burden, her daughter and her do not get along, and now she's brought home her girlfriend as an added shock to the system. All the while, she is being audited by the IRS and may end up losing her business - on top of losing her husband and daughter. It...
