The Dead Don’t Die is a comedic horror movie from director, Jim Jarmusch. The dialogue is witty and delivered with dry pathos. The actors all seem to be enjoying the absurd nature of the humor. I enjoyed its humorous nilhilism.
Cinematic Coup de Grace

Thoughts on Nosferatu
Nosferatu is a remake of the 1922 silent film. It’s pretty and stylized to look like a bygone era. For the most part, much like the original film, the movie basically is the story of Dracula with some names changed and slight plot details altered. It still works as a solid vampire film. Check it out if you dig gothic horror.

Thoughts in Talk to Me
Talk to me is an Australian horror movie. The story is similar to many other horror movies in the genre. It does feature some creepy moments and disturbing imagery without coming off the gratuitous. The ending is clever and makes the film stand out. All-in-all a solid movie with a tight run time that will entertain most horror fans.

Thoughts on Happy Gilmore 2
Happy Gilmore 2 is the sequel to the Adam Sandler comedy film of the 90s. At times there are jokes that land but most of it felt pandering for easy laughs. It is not awful but it is the sort of mediocre netflix swill that i’ll likely forget about soon. Watch it, or don’t. It is not likely to be on anyone’s favorite movie list.

Thoughts on Sinners
Sinners is a great movie. The story is solid and the characters are well-developed. The horror elements build up to an exciting crescendo. It has elements of movies like From Dusk ‘till Dawn but with classy layered themes that give the movie a lot more depth. It is a great addition to vampire horror.

Thoughts on A Minecraft Movie
A Minecraft Movie is a movie based off the hit game. The characters are all fine and the movie itself seems very formulaic. It isn’t bad, but it also isn’t anything bold or new. I am not the audience for this as my experience with Minecraft is fairly limited. My kids loved it though and they play Minecraft. So take from that what you will.

Thoughts on A Complete Unknown
A Complete Unknown is a biopic about Bob Dylan hitting the music scene in New York. The acting is great but the story is fine although a bit aimless. It doesn’t paint Bob Dylan as a genius or saint. The music is good and actors bring a charm to their performances despite the subject matter being a little dull. It’s certainly worth a watch if you ever dug Bob Dylan’s music
