Well, I've seen far worse than this.
Film Noir, film sophistication.
Let's look at film noir and the surprising places you'll find it.
Timeless or Trash? How movies stand the test of time, or don’t.
Just remember that fad is one letter away from fade, because that is what fads do. So don't base your movie on a fad.

Who didn't see this coming?

Giant bugs? Outer Space? Gratuitous boob and butt shots? What more do you want?
Why are art films so pretentious?
It's a fine line between artistic expression and pretention.
Miscasting, and what it means to film.
It happens, but why does it happen?

The animatronic buffalo is the true star of this film, in my opinion.

It is a definite, unequivocal maybe.

Ramble a bit it seems.
Movie Shed Review #68 Stigmata (1999)
A movie I forgot about after watching it.
The FX of Jurassic Park are still amazing!

When you remake a cult favorite you might want to listen to the fan base.
Movie Shed Review #67 Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959)
A classic Disney live action movie from 1959, does it still hold up?
So Babylon 5 reboot is shelved, now what.
Just waiting for another show or two to get the axe is my thought.
Variety asked “Why are Indie films so strange now?”
My answer is "Where have you been these last 30 years?"
Movie Shed Review #66 Robots (2005)
An all star cast and great visuals what's not to like?
Jared Leto and TRON 3
Say what now? Yeah not a snowballs chance folks.
The hubris of showrunners.
From Halo to LOTR, Star Trek Discovery and Picard. Do showrunners actually not understand how fans react to their stupidity?

Don't forget your towel and Don't Panic!
Ignoring old films for being “problematic” is stupid.

Hellboy 3 with Ron Perlman?
Actually happening or pipe dream? I have a few thoughts.
Movie Shed Movie Review #62 Cocoon (1985)
Aliens, old people and very surprising!
Nostalgia is no substitute for good story.
This should really go without saying, but the studios won't take my calls anymore.
Director highlight: Roger Corman
The king of schlock himself is the subject for today!
Movie Shed Movie Review #61 Encanto (2021)
I'm not mad, just disappointed.

Are film critics just frustrated wanna be film makers?
It's silly, but it still gets thrown out there from time to time.
Toxic fandoms: Are they as prevalent as they say?
When your whole business model revolves around rage baiting is it any wonder that the truth gets lost or ignored?
Movie Shed Review #59: Dune (2021)
Nope, not the David Lynch one.

A film studio in space….right
With Blackjack and hookers, in fact forget the film studio!
Movie Shed Review #58: Eragon (2006)
A story about a boy and his dragon, no not How to train your Dragon. And no, it's not Pete's Dragon...it's the dull one from 2006.
Amazons LOTR Saga continues...
Well, at least we have a title now?
Who run Barter Town? Lets talk Mad Max.
