Must be weird being LMG. Need someone to play a total asshole but not completely alienate the audience? He’s your guy.
Neat story but was never in much doubt as to where it was heading.

I’ve solved the mystery of poltergeists. It’s just #ADHD short-term memory fails and “blindness”…
“I swear, I JUST looked there!”
All the windows are open. Watching horror movies with the subtitles on so the screaming doesn’t bother the neighbours 😂
In need of creative inspiration, a professionally stagnant and hard-partying Los Angeles artist recklessly indulges in a series of drug binges. As the narcotics fly out of control, so does her newfound and inexplicable, yet unquenchable, craving for blood.

Jarringly naff in tiny parts but extraordinary in many others. Drugs are the quintessential unreliable narrator.
★★★½
After a series of brutal slayings, a teen and her friends take on an evil force that's plagued their notorious town for centuries.

On this watch through I’ve become pretty convinced that this is six ~1 hour episodes condensed into 3 movies. Apparently the writer/director describes the format as a “hybrid of traditional television content and movies.” Hmmm…
For me, I think it works way better as a mini-series. It’s the only thing that explains the severe lulls in the tempo as we pad out some backstory. This is entirely forgiven in TV shows but absolutely skewered in movies.
Since my first watches, I have grown to love the little world and lore set-up here. I think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Also, it’s got a feminist streak a mile-wide, which I am here for.
★★★½
After being wrongfully convicted for stealing a pair of shoes, Stanley Yelnats is sent away to Camp Green Lake, a boys detention facility where inmates are forced to dig holes all day in the hot desert sun as a form of character building. As he endures the brutal routine, Stanley begins to uncover a hidden truth behind the camp—one that connects to a dangerous secret and his family’s history.

I assume what makes most of this great is the source material but it was still a lot of fun, especially the adult roles!
★★★½
Turns out my 11-yo daughter has developed a love of disaster movies. Go figure?

Watched it with the kids (11/14). Had to preface that the dog doesn’t die but Grandma does. Aside from the close up on the gnarly compound fracture, all good!
★★★ (contains spoilers)
In Depression-era West Virginia, a serial-killing preacher hunts two young children who know the whereabouts of a stash of money.
Yeah, I agree, what he said.
