Madness Is the Loftiest Intelligence | The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) Netflix Limited Series

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)

October is the season for spooky delights, which makes it a fine time for Netflix to roll out the latest horror miniseries from producer/director Mike Flanagan. These things are getting to be nearly an annual tradition for the streamer. This year’s is The Fall of the House of Usher, based (extremely loosely) upon a mash-up… Read More Madness Is the Loftiest Intelligence | The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) Netflix Limited Series

Scream to the Future | Totally Killer (2023) on Amazon Prime Video

Totally Killer (2023)

If the nearly three decades since Scream have given us an abundance of meta slasher movies, including a whole bunch of sequels to Scream itself, the new Amazon film Totally Killer tries to do one better by throwing in the added twist of being a meta time travel/slasher movie. Its heroine has seen plenty of… Read More Scream to the Future | Totally Killer (2023) on Amazon Prime Video

Shit’s Getting Out of Control | Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) 4K Ultra HD

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

Despite having once again sworn that he was done with Transformers and ready to hand the directing reins over to somebody else after the very successful Age of Extinction, Michael Bay wasted almost no time jumping right back in to helm the next sequel himself anyway. Unfortunately, by this point, even longtime fans had enough.… Read More Shit’s Getting Out of Control | Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) 4K Ultra HD

I’m All About Bad Ideas | Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 3D Blu-ray

Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)

After Transformers: Dark of the Moon hit a franchise high for box office, Michael Bay announced that he’d be leaving the series on a high note to go make smaller, personal films. He did exactly one of those (2013’s Pain & Gain, which underperformed) before crawling right back to the safe haven of the robots… Read More I’m All About Bad Ideas | Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) 3D Blu-ray

Look More Like Little Shreks to Me | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

Seven years have passed since the last Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie played on cinema screens, which must mean it’s about time for a new theatrical reboot. The franchise reinvents itself once every decade or so, jumping back and forth between live-action and animation with each reworking. The latest iteration, called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:… Read More Look More Like Little Shreks to Me | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

Sad Truth Is Better Than a Happy Lie | The Changeling (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

The Changeling (2023)

As far as I can tell, the new Apple TV+ series The Changeling is not meant to have any direct connection to either the 1980 haunted house movie of the same title starring George C. Scott or to Clint Eastwood’s 2008 kidnapped-child drama called Changeling starring Angelina Jolie. I say “as far as I can… Read More Sad Truth Is Better Than a Happy Lie | The Changeling (2023) Apple TV+ Series Premiere

That Can’t Be Good at All | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 4K Ultra HD

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

It seems that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade wasn’t Indiana Jones’ last crusade after all. Just shy of two decades after director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford seemingly closed the book on their iconic archaeologist adventurer, producer George Lucas convinced them to pull the old fedora and bullwhip out of storage one more… Read More That Can’t Be Good at All | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) 4K Ultra HD

You Call This Archaeology? | Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 4K Ultra HD

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade almost was, and in many fans’ estimation probably should have been, the last adventure for the iconic screen hero. After the disappointing (yet still extremely profitable) Temple of Doom, the film was a significant return to form and offered many unmistakable notes of closure to bring this blockbuster trilogy… Read More You Call This Archaeology? | Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) 4K Ultra HD

Anything Goes | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 4K Ultra HD

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

Whether it be a case of selective memory or rose-colored glasses, I find it fairly amusing the way disgruntled Indiana Jones fans, when complaining about how much they dislike later entries in the series, tend to either forget that Temple of Doom happened or act like it was ever one of the good ones. The… Read More Anything Goes | Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) 4K Ultra HD
