(The Average Joe’s Movie Club Cast)
Criterion Collection Spine #575 (Part 2)
Stanley Kubrick's underrated sophomore feature was so much better than I expected.
"It's crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes and not even be able to think about it with any sense-and yet not be able to think about anything else."

(Foreign language film - Japanese)
With a movie this brutal and depraved, of course we don't get the satisfaction of the best character being Ichi.
"Listen, when you're giving pain to someone, don't think about the pain that person is feeling. Just concentrate on how good it feels to be causing someone pain. That's the best thing you can do for a true masochist!" ... I have a feeling Takashi…

Dusting off those old Proton Packs to honor the past, and look to the future.
"I will always be a Ghostbuster."
I did not come into Ghostbusters: Afterlife with any expectations, and as a long-time fan of the franchise it was so exciting to see the story continued like this. The movie takes us out to the middle of nowhere where Egon Spengler was preparing for the final stage of Gozer's

An all new Spiderman comes into his own as Marvel and Sony unleash the Spider-Verse!
"Wow, that is one hardcore origin story kid."

For so long I have wanted to see a Spiderman movie that was not handcuffed to the constraints of a simple hero story and one or two villains. And Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse delivers that and much more as…
