Thoughts on The Wind

 The Wind is a slow-burn psychological thriller. The acting is great as is the concept and set-up. I might have liked it a bit more if the narrative was linear. But that is a minor nitpick. It is very slow and atmospheric. I temd to think the horror elements were all in the protagonist’s head. Check it out if you like subtle, psychological horror.

Thoughts on Space Jam: A New Legacy

 Space Jam: A New Legacy is a movie that wants to be loved. It reeks of desperation. It is choked with product placement and movie references that are baffling in a kids movie. The extras that are supposed to be these licensed characters in the crowd look like they were given costumes from Spirit Halloween. The acting is bad and the movie is a pointless money grab cynically clutching to nostalgia. Don’t waste your time unless you are a huge fan of the original.

Thoughts on Fear Street part one 1994

 Fear Street part one 1994 is the first part of a trilogy based on a series of books. It’s a hackneyed story with characters that suck. Nobody makes a logical decision. It feels too juvenile for adults and too grown up for teens. It’s not really worth seeing unless you loved the books or really want to see how the trilogy pans out.
