You know that stands for automated teller machine. You’re not funny.

‘...Barbershop’s less-good sequel...’

Let me tack Iron Man 3 onto that list. The best of the trilogy.

The lawnmower scene in Sinister. That is all.

The comic aspects suck, but as a thriller, it’s not too bad.  It’s pretty anonymous among Carpenter’s resume, but I liked it.

James Wan. That’s a funny way to spell J.J. Abrams.

Zoidberg Jesus aside, I’ve always found ‘A Tale of Two Santas’ rather meh. ‘Xmas Story’, on the other hand, is a freaking Swiss watch. The clock gag alone is just plain genius.

You mean The Buttler.

Okay, maybe COVID is screwing with my brain, but didn’t The Black Phone come out this year? I distinctly remember going to see a movie with that title. A damn fine horror movie, so I naturally assumed it would end up on this ‘Best Horror Movies of 2022' list. Nothing. Not even an honorable mention.

Shot by Robert Richardson, same cinematographer as Django Unchained.

Minor correction: Brightburn was a Screen Gems release, not a Universal release.

Danny, I’m killing my eyes. Killing my Danny. Kill Danny.

Loved me some Stumptown. Fascinating cases, fun characters (personally, Dex may be Cobie Smulders’s best role). Goddamn Covid.

With its bawdy humor and biting social commentary, Duckman was *the* must watch without parental knowledge show of my formative years. However, given how touchy people are these days, I cannot imagine bringing this show back and having it be a fraction of what it was in its heyday. And cleaning it up is not an option,…

Didn’t even know about this movie until now. That’s not a good sign.

Disappointed by the absence of Your Name, which folds body-swapping into its time-travel plot...and masterfully, at that.

This was pretty decent, but holy shit. Someone who says “Guard your carnal treasure!” or waxes poetic on a girl’s “six different smiles” is a serial killer, not a romantic lead. How does the movie not understand this?

“If I were in the same position, would I be able to say no to her?”

All the more reason to put the show out of its misery. It’s like someone turned her Karenness up to 11, then broke off the fucking knob.

The Grinch whistles for Max. He jumps on the sleigh like, ‘Oh boy! Oh boy! We’re going for a ride!’. Cut back to the Grinch with a wonderful Chuck Jones deadpan. Love that moment.
