It

Having just recently been dragged to the re-release of an old movie (Terminator 2), I was momentarily confused into thinking this was another of the same, and not a remake.

I figured it out when I realized that the clown was most certainly not that handsome devil Tim Curry.

Get Out

It's wall-to-wall microaggressions--and then things get really spooky.

I'm not sure which part was more discomfiting.

Don't Breathe

The violence got progressively more appalling, until the only relief was in the idea that at least there would be no one left around for a sequel.

And then they left things wide open for a sequel.

10 Cloverfield Lane

What a film--a lot of really horrific things take place over the course of this story.

The most appalling of all is a sandwich made of marshmallow fluff & peanut butter.

The Cabin in the Woods

This comedy-horror-schlock is sure to become a cult classic--the next big midnight movie is born!

But of course, I said the same thing about "Titanic."

Monsters

I do appreciate that rather being a big, explosion-y, look-at-the-looming-monster-y type of alien invasian movie, this is more about the journey of and relationship between the two leads.

It's a good thing, too, considering the loony octopus-on-lobster-legs, floaty-pasted-over-CGI look of the beasts.

Rifftrax Live: The House on Haunted Hill

The original movie makes almost no sense--and has almost nothing for an ending--so I can say that giving it the MST3K treatment is doing it a HUGE favor.

My favorite film of the event, though, was the "Bewitched"-inspired supermarket witch in "Magical Disappearing Money."

RiffTrax LIVE: Plan 9 from Outer Space

A one-night Fathom Event broadcast featuring the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on stage lampooning Ed Wood's anti-masterpiece, this had everyone present howling from start to finish.

I wish they'd do a film a week.
