More horror movie reviews:- Moloch, B+. Has my ideal horror movie structure including a nice mystery with a payoff. 2nd act and a really lackluster love story drags it down from an A.
- The Innocents, C. The child actors do a great job. Solid visual story telling and unique shot choices. But it feels like a 45 minute story dragged out to 2 hours.
- Wish Upon, C+. Really tame teen horror flick. Good production values. Story is completely derivative, and the protagonist is a horrible, horrible person. Ending saves it.
- Caveat, D. All atmosphere, no logic.
- Piranha, B. Its a terrible movie but full of that shlocky 80s movie charm.
- The Mist. A. Nearly perfect. Can't believe it took me this long to watch it.
BTW, I rewatched "Tumbad" and "Censor" and they both are still great even on multiple viewings.

Glad to see some praise for “The Mist.”
Sneaky good horror movie by Frank Darabont.

The new Spider-Man movies are the only MCU movies I’ve watched since the Thanos arc ended. Crazy how fast I lost interest.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeill

Considering the very spotty history of comic book movies, the whole MCU universe was an amazing trick, but that sort of storytelling seems to have a shelf life. When the story being told involves losing half the lives in the universe, the stakes for anything succeeding it is going to be small potatoes. You've seen it all.

The latest Thor movie was a bit disappointing but it was hard to top the third one.
I’m still curious to see where they go with this. Kang is supposed to be an interesting villain. So far I like what I see from Jonathan Majors in that role. If the movies are fun, I’ll keep watching.

Same. I feel very fatigued when it comes to having interest in watching modern day blockbusters. MCU movies make up a notable chunk of it in recent years. The issue is they mostly have the same narrative beats. Way too much overexposure to the same type of story telling. I simply don’t have the same desire to watch these movies as I once did… Call it superhero fatigue.

The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

Pheobe & Chandler both ruined Spiderman for me when they discussed the name "Spide-man" ...., pheobe thinking it was his surname...., Chandler explaining.
As a result, kept chuckling away to myself during the last "Spide-man" movie....., wife told me to STFU."...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
