  Scream 2022

  ★★½ Watched 20 Jan 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I had a weird experience with this movie. So, it had been a long time since I'd seen the other 4 films, but I still remembered them pretty well and figured I could forego re-watching them before going into this new one. I had a pretty good time with it. I thought the "re-quel" idea was solid and fit right into the mythos of the series. The Dewey death scene actually made me emotional, so it was nice to have…

  Bill & Ted Face the Music 2020

  ★★★ Watched 28 Aug 2020

  Fight Club 1999

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 19 Nov 2009

  I'm about to break all the rules of Fight Club in this review...

  This movie is an absolutely crazy, in your face, awesome look at the way corporations have shaped our country. I don't think any other flick has completely sucked me into its world and showed me what I was missing. David Fincher gave Hollywood and the whole world a big bloody middle finger when he made this and in my opinion there had never been a better movie…
