Fantastic, charming and snappy, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar distills Wes Anderson into 35 minutes of storytelling magic.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster 2023
The amount of heart and care that went into making this movie elevates it for me, despite a final act that gets a bit repetitive and a narrative that doesn't quite deliver on all of its promises. The script is solid, the performances are great and the tough questions/concepts being discussed will stick with you long after the credits roll.
The horror elements in this imaginative retelling of Frankenstein are decent, but the real-world terrors surrounding it are far more frightening.

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker 1981
Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker is a solid thriller that makes a delightful turn toward slasher in the final act, complete with a surprisingly positive queer subplot (given it came out in 1982) and a stellar, swing-for-the-fences performance by Susan Tyrrell.

Anything for Jackson 2020
Anything For Jackson puts a creative spin on the possession/haunting sub-genre and builds a movie that's oddly charming at times, has a wicked sense of humor and some solid chills. It's just a hell of a lot of fun to watch and might even crack my top 10 of the year. The second and third acts don't quite live up to the opening, but that's only because the opening is so, so damn strong. What an unexpected treat to help cap off the real-life nightmare that has been the year 2020.
