I love that you are giving Evil love, but I also hate that it’s in a slideshow and no one will read it.

You might not have gotten to it yet, but so far out of all of that around Victor, my favorite part’s been Luther. Just absolutely nails it there.
On the second episode now (where this is first talked about/addressed), just paused it to go do some shopping and came back to see this article, and so far the introduction’s been really cool! Read more
Thanks for the slideshow recap. I forgot about 99% of that stuff.
Rogue needs to be highlighted a bit more, as the premise is too good- a group of tourists are stranded on an island in the middle of a large river, with a giant crocodile stalking them, all while the water level slowly rises. Also, Sam Worthington actually has a dynamic character for once. Read more
Side note: Before anyone gets tangled up in the use of “alligator” versus “crocodile,” we’re including movies featuring both kinds of animals here. (Honestly, it’s mostly crocodiles.) Read more
It’s the kind of mid budget movie that just doesn’t exist anymore. High concept and not great. But made with some obvious effort and featuring recognizable character actors throughout. Read more
I still remember seeing Alligator (1980) as a kid, on tv. It had to have been in the late 80's (I was 1 when it came out), but the sewer scene and the party scene have both stuck with me ever since.
I’m not a big horror fan, but the original Lake Placid was surprisingly good. The sequels are pretty terrible.
Its good to have Star Trek back
Sheesh, the Krill are the Jem’Hadar from Deep Space 9. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Jem%27Hadar
It’s going to be a fun tonal shift going back and forth between this and The Boys.
I guess being in that “Weapon of Choice" music video helped him walk without rhythm.
Not a sci-fi movie, but the scene of Picard eating the raw Taspar egg in “Chain of Command” made me gag, and put me off eggs for a month.
If you only watch ten minutes of this film, make sure it is the birth scene.
Eggcellent!
Tom Pelphrey, Lili Taylor, Imogen Poots ... a lot of my interests are coming into play here.
I wasn’t paying much attention to Outer Range until I saw Josh Brolin talking about it on Hot Ones, which sold me. This review only locks it in for me.
TOO MUCH STREAMING! Read more
Fascinating review. Read more
