NYT published an interesting little piece where-in the director for The Outwaters and the director for Skinamarink interviewed each other, as well as had some probing questions from the man hosting the interaction. At least, that's about what I remember. But, while I had been hearing buzz about Skinamarink, I had heard nothing about The Outwaters other than learning it was a similarly strange indie-horror feature making its shocking rounds across the country. It hosted a few stark screenshots from…

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion 2013
Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion is probably the first experience I've had where a movie would refuse to settle comfortably in my mind. It is in a constant state of inconsistency. I've never fully embraced it nor fully denied it, yet at times I have also fallen head-over-heels for it and also outright abhored it.

Then I had a dream. A dream where minions were dying. They were sick in a…

Dangerous Lies 2020
There's a character named Dwight in this movie and you don't understand how funny that is until you see the directors name.
Thank me later.
