    From Dusk til Dawn 4/5: Regal is doing throwback horror all month and this was my first. It’s crazy how quickly the tone shifts but it is crazy fun. Also I want to hear the conversation where QT convinced Selma Hayek to pour booze down her leg into his mouth

    Army of Darkness 4/5: More goofy horror but the original Evil Dead movies are just so much fun. I love how deadites are just shitty assholes, it’s so much funnier than a serious villain

    The Matrix 5/5: What’s there to say? It’s incredible, I love every moment

    Death Becomes Her 4/5: More horror camp this week, and I hadn’t seen this before. At first I was trying to understand why these women were fighting so hard for Bruce Willis then I got that this movie is crazy. This movie walked so The Substance could run

    The Mastermind 1/5: This was a mystery movie Monday dud. Some audience reviews as the movie ended “what the hell?” (x3) “that was the worst movie I’ve ever seen” “you know, maybe we should know what movie we’re going to see before we go in”. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, there’s some funny moments and it is very deliberate. Unfortunately they’re deliberately telling a dumb story. Watching a guy make progressively shittier decisions as his life unravels around him requires him to be compelling in some way, or the audience has no reason to care. His wife seems to aggressively avoid being in the movie which is weird considering she seems to be a co-conspiritor in the scheme. It’s frustrating, slow, long, and dumb. Which are bad ways to describe a movie
