The Toxic Avenger
Rating: 4 of 5 glowing mops
Funny, violent, vulgar. But, what else would you expect? It’s the Toxic Avenger. Good update to the original Troma version. Much bigger budget, but keeps the B-movie feel. And fun Troma easter eggs.

Remarkably Bright Creatures
Rating: 5 of 5 octopi
Happy and sad and interesting stories of multiple lives intersecting in a small town. Oh, and an Octopus. Great performances, touching and realistic storylines. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’ll become a part of you.

Another take on “The Most Dangerous Game”. Pretty well done, amazing photography (I got vertigo just watching the TV). Good action sequences. Only thing is, you know how the story ends. Protagonist gets hunted, a ton of close calls happen, protagonist survives, antagonist dies. And this followed the formula to a “T”.

Slow, a bit confusing, and really not scary. Just got bored after an hour, and turned it off.

If I Had Legs Id Kick You
Rating: 0 of 5 cell phone videos
I guess there’s good acting and stuff, but between the difficult to watch video, the angst-ridden plot, not really knowing if the main character is simply hallucinating, I never finished it. Tried to continue 3 times, but each time, it just made me uncomfortable.

The Family Plan
Rating: 4 of 5 Summer Vacations
Watched this after really enjoying the sequel. It’s another fun ride, where Mark Wahlberg plays a suburban car salesman with a secret past as an assassin, unbeknownst to his family. His past comes to find him, and again, hilarity and drama ensue.

Train Dreams
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
A turn of the (19th) century drama about a mans adult life. Finding work, finding love, building a homestead, and of course, it needs tragedy and loss, or it’d just be boring. Moderately paced, it never really speeds up or slows down, just keeps plodding along, like the protagonist. Lovely photography and cinemaphotograpy. Wasn’t until 1/2 way through I realized it was filmed in 3:2 aspect ratio. That just fit the intimate nature of the filming.

Anaconda
Rating: 3 of 5 Ant Men
It’s a comedy staring Jack Black. So, that about sums it up. A couple friends go to remake “Anaconda”. Fun ensues. There are snakes, water, jungle boats, bad guys. All the things you need. And, the result is fine. Shut off your brain, grab a soda and some popcorn, and double screen away.
