Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – The Dark and the Wicked

Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – The Dark and the Wicked

          Twelve years ago, writer/director Bryan Bertino made his debut with The Strangers.  The claustrophobic nightmare is one of the scariest movies I have seen in the last fifteen years and one of my favorite horror movies of the 2000’s.  It was an impressive debut film, yet Bertino’s follow-up films, Mockingbird and The Monster, failed to make a dent whatsoever.  In fact, I didn’t even know those films existed until I was looking up…

Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – Class Action Park

Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – Class Action Park

          Growing up, I was lucky enough to live right across the street from a Six Flags amusement park.  My family and I would get season passes every year and I basically grew up with Six Flags.  I grew up riding roller coasters and all the other rides in the park.  I grew up with the cheesy theatrics and food that tasted great when I was seven, but hasn’t aged very…

Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – Crazy Samurai Musashi

Fantasia Festival 2020 Review – Crazy Samurai Musashi

          Crazy Samurai Musashi looks at a battle of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi (Tak Sakaguchi) as he takes on 588 soldiers and defeats every single one.  Director Yûji Shimomura made the decision to shoot this battle in one, 77-minute-long uncut take, a bold and ambitious decision, yet one that if executed right, could have been an incredible feat and made for a great film.  Unfortunately, it isn’t as incredible as it could…

For illustrator Matt Furie, one of his pieces connected with a group he never would have expected and a group he wanted nothing…

Review – Project Power

Review – Project Power

            Project Power is the latest Netflix original movie and it is a movie I would classify as a “start-and-stop” movie.  It is a movie that you can start watching, pause or stop the film whenever you want, and pick it back up again whenever you want and won’t miss a thing.  You can do this multiple times and take however long of a break you want and you’ll be able…

Review – Lake Michigan Monster

Review – Lake Michigan Monster

          Lake Michigan Monster is a delirious midnight madness movie.  A micro-budget horror comedy that is unlike any movie I have seen in 2020.  What starts off as a monster chase turns into a trippy journey I did not expect.  I laughed, I was startled, I was confused, and yet I could never look away. Lake Michigan Monster starts with a simple premise: Seafield (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) and his crew are on…
