Saturday was Indy Film Fest’s “best of” screenings, which featured screenings of each of the festival’s winning shorts and features in their respective categories. Fortunately for me, one of the movies I wanted to see most of all this year, Charles Hood’s Night Owls, won best feature in the American Spectrum category. This gave me the opportunity to see it as the other screenings conflicted with my schedule. As an added bonus, it was paired with the “Best American Spectrum” short film, Michael Goode’s The Answers. Below you’ll find my review of both. Of course, you can find all of my Indy Film Fest coverage here.

- Sometimes They Come Back, 1991 - ★★★ January 15, 2021Rewatched this while working from home solely because I've been working on a Top 19 Stephen King Movie/TV Works list for an eventual Tower Junkies episode.It's currently at my number 19 spot on my list.

It probably would […]
- The Last Blockbuster, 2020 - ★★★★½ December 24, 2020Finally got around to watching this. What a delightful documentary covering a piece of our culture that has all but become extinct. The nostalgia trip that this doc provides is so wonderful.But the most satisfying and fascinating thing about The Last Blockbuster is how much it's about how this massive corporation that was once a dominant force in its in […]
- The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two, 2020 - ★★ December 24, 2020Cheer or fear? Belsnickel is here! I judge your Netflix sequel…as impish!The first Christmas Chronicles was fun, cheesy, and overly sentimental. Basically, everything I want in a Christmas movie. Part Two becomes a bit too wrapped up in its lore and doing cutesy North Pole stuff, though. It loses sight of what made the first one so solid and doesn't giv […]
