The Empty Man is a thrilling horror film that has touches of Lovecraft. The acting is really good and felt remarkably genuine. The cinematography is also noticeably great. The story is gripping and keep’s it’s pace moving despite a rather long run-time. If you are a fan of movies about cults this will be up your alley.

Thoughts on I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is a stupid sequel to a fun 90s teen horror movie. The script is ludicrous and cringe-worthy. The story is pedestrian but also insanely convoluted. Plus, there are some shots that border on tasteless exploitation. I don’t think this movie is worth the bandwidth of a watch.

Thoughts on The Eternals
The Eternals is an MCU movie that is an anomaly. The cast is full of people who have extraordinary talent but it is in service of a story that is very hard to care about. The characters are poorly developed. The villains are worse. We have no reason to care for these characters and it makes very little sense that they live amongst other heroes of the MCU. See it if you must. I can’t imagine this movie being anyone’s favorite of the franchise.

Thoughts on An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn
An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn is a strange movie. The acting is great and very over-the-top. The story is like the funny aspects of Twin Peaks and a Daniel Clownes comic. It is unique and strange, but worth checking out.

Thoughts on Game Over, Man!
Game Over, Man is a comedy from the same guys that made Workaholics. The movie looks cheap. The effects are bad and most of the actors are bottom of the barrel. Still, there are some crudely funny moments that make it alright. The plot is a substandard Die Hard clone. If you enjoy schlock, it’ll do.
