  Basic Instinct 2 2006

  ★★★½ Watched 22 Apr 2023 3

  Sharon Stone enters a meeting with various film executives and studio heads. She walks up to the white board, writes out 'Basic Instinct' and turns around to gauge their reaction. She confidently adds and 's' to the end. As various gasps and guffaws erupt from her audience she draws two vertical lines through that 's'.

  Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022

  ★½ Watched 05 Oct 2022 1

  The closer to convention that these Chainsaw sequels run, the less I tend to like them. While this is a cut above the previous installment, it remains the most conventional sequel since 1990's Leatherface. I really love this series when it gets weird and this is the opposite of weird. In fact, it's largely aping Halloween 2018, a film so boring and utterly unremarkable that I remember very little of it. This seems to be destined for the same fate.

  ★★★ Watched 24 Dec 2018 2

  The brief interlude where McDermott loses his shit on his bed amidst a pile of Polaroids is one of the dark comedy highlights of the year.
