Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village (2023)
So I just saw Demon Slayer: To the Swordsmith Village and it was… a thing. It was moving images projected onto a flat surface commonly referred to as a screen. And in this crazy world, isn’t that better than a kick in the delicates? Look, I’ll level with you. I wouldn’t normally choose to see…

Cocaine Bear (2023)
I just saw Cocaine Bear and it was okay. It moved very slowly for far too much of its first act and never quite develops the pace that a film like this needs, but it has a couple of great set pieces and amusing performances, and is overall a relatively slick piece of work for…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Wherein my featured image is a comic book because none of the film posters will export. I just saw Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and it was surprisingly enjoyable. It’s getting a lot of nasty reviews and I’m not sure why. Maybe I’m out of the loop with what people expect from a comic book…

Knock at the Cabin (2023)
So I just saw Knock at the Cabin and it was… alright. A solid 2/4 movie.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2023)
I just saw Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and it was really good. It’s the best new film that I’ve seen in 2023, which indicates either how good it is or how bad my choices have been. January’s always a slow month for movies, of course, and now it’s February maybe good ones are…

Unwelcome (2023)
Well, I just saw Unwelcome, and although it’s only January, it’s a hot contender for my worst film of 2023. I take back every hurtful thing I said about Halloween Ends. I was but a spoilt, callow youth when I let loose my bile on that innocent picture. I did not know how good I…

Babylon (2023)
I just saw Babylon and it was solid. You could weight your papers with it. It wasn’t much more than that, though. The film that it reminded me the most of was Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, which also starred Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie as movie people whose lives intersect, but…
