Call Me Lucky [2015]

Call Me Lucky
Bobcat Goldthwait
6/6

A documentary about Barry Crimmins, who I bizarrely knew nothing about until now.

Anon [2018]

Anon
Andrew Niccol
4/6

Pretty solid thriller. Not much to say, except… what’s the use of a tiny dialog box with a tiny font way out in the peripheral vision?

Dolemite Is My Name [2019]

Dolemite Is My Name
Craig Brewer
4/6

Nowhere near as much boobage!

The Invisible Man [2020]

The Invisible Man
Leigh Whannell
6/7

A proper horror film, unlike the previous ones. The best of the bunch by a huge margin.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies [2016]

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Burr Steers
5/7

I wish I’d read Pride and Prejudice now. This is great!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter [2012]

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Timur Bekmambetov
4/5

Abe was a real badass.

Okay, so it’s a masterpiece. I hadn’t seen it since the eighties probably. I remembered that scene, of course; that scene that we all think is a bit too much, but apart from that scene (which honestly isn’t as bad as we rember): It’s a fucking masterpiece!

Slither [2006]

Slither
James Gunn
7/10

Started out a bit meh, but really pulled it together before the end. I won’t spoil it, so I’ll just mention the cameo. There.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers [1978]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Philip Kaufman
4/5

Still as good as when I was young, and a full 60% better than the make. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. Will the trend hold?
