#Peacemaker season 2 (2025)

Season 1 was okay at best, but season 2 really drew me in. Chris Smith (John Cena) is haunted by everything he's done in The Suicide Squad and season 1, notably having killed his brother and his psycho dad (Robert Patrick). He's a mess, and after a drunken orgy, he winds up in another dimension where everything seems perfect. Is it, though? Is it ever as good as it seems?

The Rock can go fuck himself. John Cena is where it's at. I didn't always like the guy, but he can act, and he'll give you an emotional punch in the gut. The side characters in most shows are always filler, but everyone's got great arcs in this. This was one hell of a good season with a hilariously dark twist. I know nobody on here will watch it, and you can all go fuck yourselves.

The movie database has been restored and updated. Here's what you ought to know about it:

Viewings are back. I might add them to the main page, but you'll find the link on the side bar. Log your viewings there! And ratings have shifted from the 5 star system to 10 stars. An IMDb ratings importer is in the works.

The title importer is back, and it mostly works. IMDb is a son of a bitch, though. They overcomplicated the ever-loving hell out of their JSON data, so you might run into a few bugs here and there, but I'm trying to stay on top of it. The updated system will automatically add the artwork, too, which I know was a pain in the ass before. And another nice twist is that you can log your viewings, and if a title isn't in the database, it will sync up to your viewings once it is added.

It ain't perfect, but it's better. If you don't understand some of the fields in the movie editor, ignore them. I'll try to sift through them from time to time and make sure the data is correct.

#Trap (2024)

I have so many questions about this damn movie.

Why is the concert taking place during the middle of the day, don't concerts usually take place in the evening?
How did they know the serial killer was going to be at the concert? Because they found evidence of tickets in one of his "homes"? What?? Wouldn't he have the tickets with him or on an app?
Why is he so afraid that they might catch him? Just because a FBI profiler is there? What are they going to ask him when he leaves, "are you a serial killer?", "no", "oh ok, you're free to go!". Wouldn't it have been better to risk that than kidnapping the pop star?
Why are there so many people randomly wandering about outside during the concert? What are they doing? Where are they going? Didn't they pay good money for the ticket? Why are there so many "breaks" during the concert? Concerts don't have breaks, they have an encore maybe but that's it.
Why are there so many close ups of people's faces, especially M Night Shyamalan's daughter whose face the camera lingers on for ages. Yeah okay, she has pretty face, we get it. Isn't that a bit creepy? Isn't the movie just an excuse to hype her up anyway?
Why was the FBI profiler commanding the SWAT team? Why did her taser gun work but the two other SWAT team members' taser guns failed to take the killer down? Why would she even have a taser gun?
Why is this movie even tagged as a horror?? It has a two second eye gouging and that qualifies it??

Most importantly of all though, where was the fucking twist?!

#CannibalGirls 1974

Marketed as a comedy from directory Ivan Reitman, this movie is actually more serious than expected. It's the usual stranded motorists plot with Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin (Phyllis from Black Christmas), and they get tangled up with the titular Cannibal Girls.

These cannibal girls are good looking. They can eat me any day. They belong to a cult that's ran by some Dracula type of fellow who reminds me of Montag the Magnificent from Wizard of Gore.

For an early horror outing, Ivan did pretty good with this one. I wouldn't even call this a comedy, but it does have a few somewhat funny moments. The score adds a layer of creepiness, reminding me of Pet Sematary, and the ending was probably pretty poignant for its time. Definitely not was I was expecting, but in a good way.

#TheNudeVampire 1970

Jean Rollin's second vampire flick of many, The Nude Vampire is about a guy who encounters a mysterious woman who is promptly killed by a bunch of creepy masked weirdos. He finds out his father is involved and that the girl isn't really dead, and you can guess why. Because she is nude ^{a vampire}!

This is the third Rollin flick I've seen, and I like his style. Artsy, surreal, and with beautiful women and weirdness. I may be illiterate, but at least there isn't a lot of dialogue & subtitles. The main dude runs like a total pansy, though. And what's up with the twin girls' glass tops? And that long dance scene with the drums? Whatever it is, I approve of this movie.

#WolfMan 2025

I'll preface this by saying I really liked Leigh Whannell's last couple of films, Invisible Man and Upgrade. I was hopeful that he'd keep up the trend and make another good Universal Monster flick, because every time they try to reboot those old classics, they fail miserably. I'm looking at you, Dark Universe!

Our story begins with a kid on a hunting trip with his irritable dad, who is obsessive about a dangerous creature in the woods. Years later, the kid is grown up with his own family and heads back to that old Oregon forest after dad dies, and shit goes sideways due to our hairy antagonist.

The film appears well-crafted. It checks all the boxes, yet it doesn't really do anything for me. Remember when they revealed the wolf man's design for that Universal horror nights? Fortunately, the creature didn't look that bad, but again... something about this movie is just vastly empty and underwhelming. Christopher Abbott isn't compelling, Julia Garner is weak sauce, and by the time it's over, I'm already off to something else and I wont think twice about it.

Is it just me, or are werewolves boring as shit?

“I Will Never Give Up”: Jason Blum Says ‘Friday the 13th’ and ‘Elm Street’ Are Still His White Whales
https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3908051/i-will-never-give-up-jason-blum-says-friday-the-13th-and-elm-street-are-still-his-white-whales/

If Jason Blum had his way, he’d be acquiring all the big horror franchises like Infinity Stones. But while Blumhouse has generated multiple new franchises of their own, including Paranormal Activity, Insidious, The Purge, and The Black Phone, the only white whales that Blum has been able to get his hands on thus far are […]

#LadyStayDead 1981

This Australian flick is about a stupid voyeuristic handyman who's hot over this bitchy actress who is always rude to him. It's not like he's undeserving of her scorn. He's a total tool who deserves every bit of it, but suffice to say, he's had enough of her shit! After having his way with her and offing her in a fish tank, he goes on a murder spree as the woman's sister comes over to visit, and what ensues is a fairly interesting mess of his erratic behavior.

The horror is minimal, with a dash of home invasion and a bit of a hostage/shootout dilemma at the end. Did I mention how much of a tool this guy is? Yet somehow, he has superhuman durability and walks us right into a cop-out of an ending. The characters in this movie are all kind of dumb and annoying, but the movie is surprisingly adequate.
