  Blackhat 2015

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Joe Begos 10 Mar 2021 2

  DIRECTOR'S CUT viewing.

  Far superior to the garbage released in theaters, this turns Mann's worst film into a pretty damn solid flick.

  Ghost in the Machine 1993

  ★★★★ Rewatched by Joe Begos 27 Feb 2021

  My german limited edition blu ray took four fucking months to arrive and when I popped this glorious son of a bitch into my player, it soon became worth every... agonizing... day I waited.

  The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1995

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Joe Begos 26 Dec 2020

  Unhinged performances from McConaughey(sporting a BIO-MECHANICAL FUCKING LEG) and Bobby Jacks as Leatherface, a third act that bubbles and boils to PURE FUCKING CHAOS, and Kim Henkel’s complete inability to write human beings are all things that are helping this installment slowly rise in the franchise rankings for me. I implore anyone with an inkling of a doubt to pour a double and revisit immediately.
