Freddy Got Fingered poster

Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

RATING: ✨✨✨✨

This movie is one huge troll on out-of-touch producers who funded millions of dollars to Tom Green to create it. He crafted such an awful movie where the joke is always on civility.

964 Pinocchio poster

964 Pinocchio (1991)

RATING: ☠️☠️☠️☠️

Crazy proto-cyberpunk movie with tons of running and vomit. The atmosphere is off the charts in this film with plenty of practical effects, guerrilla shots, and kick-ass music.

House (1977) poster

House (1977)

★★★★★

A surreal masterpiece that is all subtextually about the struggles of growing up as a woman in Japan.

Alien 1979 poster

Alien (1979)

★★★★★

An absolute classic feminist psychosexual sci-fi horror masterpiece. The Xenomorph is wonderful and so is Ripley's character.

The Thing poster

The Thing (1982)

★★★★★

Regarded as one of the best horror films and deservedly so. It's paranoia-inducing on first watch and you can feel the cold from the screen. The practical effects are outstanding and have lasted the test of time.
