My rep, friends.

"Taylor believes it is the result of 'foul play or vandalism'" is the Surest Jan to ever Sure Jan.

My ★★★ review of The Amityville Horror on Letterboxd boxd.it/bnhDt1

A ★★★ review of The Amityville Horror (2005)

Works well enough, especially when making subtext very much text themes of domestic abuse (although it gives George an easy out he doesn't earn). Several scenes bring the tension goods, especially the...

This is great: IMP Awards has a page devoted to every single actor featured on a Drew Struzan poster, face by face. Dig it:

My ★★ review of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare on Letterboxd boxd.it/bn9e0x

A ★★ review of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)

A pile of incomplete ideas, but I must admit a couple of those half-thoughts had potential: Springwood as a childless, inescapable hell world is neat, as is (spoiler) the twist where our protagonist s...

My ★★★★½ review of Extra Ordinary on Letterboxd boxd.it/bn4lT5

A ★★★★½ review of Extra Ordinary (2019)

Wildly funny, surprisingly sweet, and very clever about what it wants to be, with great performances, too. An absolute joy of a thing. 4/4 [Viewed for Dave of the Dead 2025]

I made this 10 years ago today. I ran a Twitter handle called. Where’s Lando, advocating for the return of Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars sequels, which, of course we eventually got. Not that I’m taking any credit for it or anything.

A ★★½ review of Q (1982)

How does a movie about a giant flying stop motion monster featuring a completely and wonderfully unhinged Michael Moriarty turn out so boring? 2.5/4 [Viewed for Dave of the Dead 2025]

A ★★★½ review of Planet Terror (2007)

Watched the extended standalone cut. Best in Texas? Not quite. It's about a half hour too long with a plot stretched thin, but it never fails to deliver on some high rent splatter. The cast is game, a...

I haven't watched this (nor Death Proof) since Grindhouse opening night and have never seen the full length cut. I remember it as the lesser of the two; let's see how it stands on its own.
