This week, we are Jack’s mixed film opinions. Being David Fincher’s highest rated movie, we expected maybe too much for our first rewatches in twenty years, but there is still a lot to admire about this very unique film. Fight Club (1999), directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt’s abs..

This week, we may be in November, but thats not stopping hollywood from giving us a late to the party horror movie with everyones favorite romantic comedy actor, Huge Grant. This extremely effective bottle episode of a movie has a trio of great performances, and the horror aspects are slowly and expertly introduced to make it one of the most tense experiences of the year. Heretic (2024), directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

This week, we watch the movie that famously and with controversy beat out Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption for best picture at the 1995 Oscars. This film also landed Tom Hanks a second best actor Oscar a year after his first, an achievement that only 4 other people have ever accomplished. Forrest Gump (1994), directed by Robert Zemeckis.

Happy Halloween! This week, we watch the low budget miracle of a horror film thats concept started one of the longest running film franchises in history. With just $57,000 budgeted for effects, this film showcases scene after scene of ingenuity, and images from the film stand among the best the genre has to offer. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), directed by Wes Craven.

Our halloween season movie selection moves into the 1990s with the 3rd entry in the Evil Dead series: Army Of Darkness. Leaning more on comedy and action than the previous two entries, it's still fun to see all the different ways Sam Raimi tries to get Bruce Campbell injured -- well, maybe that final action sequence goes on a bit too long. Army Of Darkness (1990) by Sam Raimi.

This week, we kick off the halloween season by watching the cult classic that nearly got buried during its initial release. Midsommar takes obvious influences from this movie, which plays more like a mystery / detective drama, although there is at least one moment that will make your stomach drop. The Wicker Man (1973), directed by Robin Hardy

This week, we watch a huge cast of A-listers dive into peoples dreams. For business purposes. And you can jump between peoples minds. But limbo is always in Leo’s head. Don’t ask questions, just watch the cool action. Inception (2010), directed by Christopher Nolan.

This week, we experience the most intense ride of the year. Nothing will prepare you for what this movie shoves in your face. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid all deserve award season consideration for their insane and brilliant performances. The Substance (2024), directed by Coralie Fargeat.
