2020 Film Review: Vampires vs. The Bronx1/20/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Whoever made this movie watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer and thought "what if we made those vampires actually look good". (Image Courtesy of: whats-on-netflix.com) Quick Take: Vampires vs. The Bronx is an easy watch that is ridiculous and self-referential from start to finish. This over-the-top horror comedy knows what it is and fully leans into its own madness.
2020 Film Review: Freaky1/17/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  More slasher villains should just be teenage girls because few people are more terrifying when motivated. (Image Courtesy of: youtube.com) Quick Take: Freaky seeks out the same wit and fire that made Christopher Landon's other work so funny and scary, but it falls more into the amusing enough category. It is a fun slasher film ride with some emotional beats, but some of its humor does not land.
2020 Film Review: Enola Holmes1/12/2021 Written by: Kevin Berge  Do we still in 2020 need movies that are written expressely with the message "women are just as smart as men"? Maybe, given the current climate. (Image Courtesy of: denofgeek.com) Quick Take: Enola Holmes lacks nuance, but it is certainly a fun, lighthearted romp. With committed performances from the cast, it makes the most of what can be heavily exaggerated characters that simplify well known foundations.
Written by: Kevin Berge  Why do the old school Sith have such great edgy attire? Palpatine needed an intense white and red mask. (Image Courtesy of: youtube.com) Quick Take: Star Wars Knight of the Republic II: The Sith Lords is a dark dive into the deepest evil of Star Wars. It is buggy and awkwardly scripted in moments but engaging in a way that is unique to any other Star Wars entertainment.
Written by: Kevin Berge  That wallpaper should not be so frightening, yet there's something truly unsettling about pretty flowers. Just me? Maybe it's just me. (Image Courtesy of: wallpapersden.com) Quick Take: I'm Thinking of Ending Things may be too high concept for many, far more abstract than Charlie Kaufman's already odd filmography. It is bold and symbolic in its presentation with fantastic cinematography and atmosphere.
