Sharp Objects 2018

★★★★★ Watched 26 Aug 2018

I read the book Sharp Objects the summer before David Fincher's Gone Girl came out. I had already hungrily devoured the book featuring Amy Elliot Dunne and quickly spent the rest of the summer inhaling Gillian Flynn's other two major works. I was in love.

Bride of Chucky 1998

★★★★ Rewatched 12 Oct 2014 2

The smartest decision the people behind the Child's Play franchise ever made was adding Jennifer Tilly to it. Her camp appeal takes the world of Chucky to a whole new level of fabulousness.
