Review: The Crow (1994)

A remake of The Crow just came out last weekend. I heard it sucked, so I decided to go back and watch the original instead.

Salem Horror Fest 2024 Week 1, Day 1: The People's Joker (2022)

Just because I left Fort Lauderdale, and with it Popcorn Frights, behind when I moved to Boston last year doesn't mean I have to give up on horror festivals. And just as I managed to sneak in a trip to the Telluride Horror Show amidst my adventures in Utah back in 2022, so too did I find that -- where else? -- Salem, Massachusetts hosted the annual Salem Horror Show in April and May. Tonight was the first night, and they screened one of the festival's token non-horror films in The People's Joker, a queer Batman spoof made without any official approval from DC Comics or Warner Bros. (They originally had a screening of Hocus Pocus planned with Kathy Najimy as a special guest, but Najimy had to cancel at the last minute.) How was it?

Review: Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

Okay, first things first. You may notice that there's a particular Marvel movie that I have not done a review of, the first, in fact, since I started doing these reviews. And it's a big one, too. I have not written a review of Avengers: Endgame, and I probably never will. Why not? Well, it's simple, really. I already wrote my review of Avengers: Infinity War last year, and everything I said in that review applies double to Endgame. It's a downright colossal movie that I can't really give a score to, not when it's the culmination of eleven years of interconnected movies that more or less delivers exactly what it promised. How do you review something like that? It'd be like writing a review of the Apollo 11 landing. "4 out of 5, America f*** yeah, but it's 'one small step for a man', Armstrong"? Well, here's the only review I can possibly give to Endgame: you've probably seen it already and made up your own mind.

Anyway, moving on...
