I had a pretty good June as far as movie-watching is concerned. I didn’t break any records (2008 – 25 viewings) but I did triple my numbers from last year’s paltry 6 viewings. I made good progress in my Bond set and managed some memorable theater viewings. All in all not a bad month. You can see the full chronological list of my June viewings here. Continue reading

Letterboxd – ObsessiveViewer- Halloween, 1978 - ★★★★½ October 29, 2020Watched on Wednesday October 28, 2020.
- Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, 2020 - ★★★ October 25, 2020I liked it. A few really great laugh out loud moments and some good/disturbing "what the fuck has happened to the US" moments. The Giuliani scenes at the end are as advertised.Amongst all that, however, is a pretty sweet father-daughter story. It feels like they knew they had lightning in a bottle with Maria Bakalova and had Borat take a bit of a b […]
- Friday the 13th, 2009 - ★★★ October 24, 2020Much, much better than I expected it to be. It's a good palate cleanser after a couple of the other later Friday movies. The violence and gore effects were good. The kills were pretty inventive and (aside from some nearly incomprehensible quick cutting action) executed well.I didn't like the sort of "humanity" the movie gives Jason. He wo […]
- Freddy vs. Jason, 2003 - ★★★ October 23, 2020Surprisingly not bad. I really like the way the movie incorporates both legends. I kind of wish it did more to expand Freddy's use of Jason to help bring him (Freddy) back into his victims' consciousness.The movie has plenty of super fun gore effects and some cool kills throughout it. The fighting between J-man and Fred-dog (I'm sorry) is fun […]
- Jason X, 2001 - ★½ October 23, 2020It's kind of insane to me how much of this movie actually kind of worked for me. The early 2000s low budget Syfy original movie aesthetic was kind of charming in some instances and Jason's first kill on the ship is really cool.It tried to return the franchise to its cheesy fun roots but ultimately doesn't really stick the "fun" part […]
- Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, 1993 - ★½ October 22, 2020Yikes. So I watched the unrated cut and, to its credit, there is some really good gore and body horror effects work in this movie.But that's about all this movie has going for it. It's a Friday the 13th movie in name only, which isn't even the case since New Line didn't have the rights to the name, apparently. So I've commended Frida […]
