  Magic 1978

  ★★★★★ Added by Justin Ratliff

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

  Where do I even begin? Magic is a masterpiece and is extremely under appreciated. It is the fourth film Richard Attenborough ever directed, and it really stands out. Just the year before he directed the war epic A Bridge Too Far. It's astounding that he chose to do a low budget "horror" film as his next project. I mean, the next movie he did was Gandhi, so Magic is quite a wild card in his repertoire. In my opinion, it…

  ★★★★★ Watched by Justin Ratliff 07 Nov 2021

  A modern-ish take on the The Pied Piper of Hamelin. The film starts out innocent enough. Woo-ryong, a passer by trying to get his sick son to Seoul for treatment, stumbles upon a small village. It becomes apparent that the place is riddled with secrets. First and foremost a rat infestation that seems out of control.

  Very well done. I half expected it to paint Eric as a “meme” and look past the victims. Also glad the SSA shares the heat, because they’re just as much of the villain in this story as the others. 

  This story took place in my back yard and I actually know people effected. I’m glad it’s getting this bright of a light shining on it.

  Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones 2019

  ★★½ Watched by Justin Ratliff 26 Aug 2019 13

  Man, I love Dave Chappelle. Legit one of the funniest mother fuckers on the planet. But this is the weakest content I’ve ever seen him perform. I live in eastern Kentucky so I’ve already heard a lot of this from racist old dudes. Call me a snowflake or whatever but being offensive for the sake of being offensive will never be funny. Dave is a better comedian than this. 
  By the time the jokes start landing the special is over. I’m sad the jumpsuit came out for this special.

  Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez 2020

  ★★★ Watched by Justin Ratliff 15 Jan 2020

  It’s laid out a little strange, but I’m a sucker for true crime.
