The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) – Schlock and Awe

February 22, 2022February 18, 2022 by M.C. Myers
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Jessica Biel

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is far more willing to recreate its original than to understand it. The result is vile. And not in a good way.

The Santa Clause 2 Tim Allen

The Santa Clause 2 has Tim Allen’s standup and farting reindeer, but it feels like Christmas. Let me explain why I keep watching it.

Inglorious Basterds: Killer Cover-Up

December 23, 2021November 8, 2021 by M.C. Myers
Inglorious Basterds

Inglorious Basterds resurrects the best in war films while ignoring the worst in war. The result is wrathful Tarantino magic.

The Happening: Hitchcockian Plodder

December 23, 2021November 3, 2021 by M.C. Myers
The Happening Mark Wahlberg

The Happening was supposed to be Shyamalan’s take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The only thing that got snatched was more of his own appeal.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Homemade Magic

October 13, 2022November 1, 2021 by M.C. Myers
Harry Potter

The first Harry Potter film is not an epic but an invitation. Dark as a forest. Nice as a librarian. Warm as a fireplace.

Hulk is a Marvel film made from spirituality and angry power. Nothing it does wrong can stop its difference from being beautiful.
