Color Out of Space
“What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science.” Color Out of Space (Richard Stanley, 2019) A classic example of a poorly executed great idea. This movie was either butchered by the studio or incompetently edited or both. This could have been something special in someone else’s hands.

The Laundromat
“‘Bad’ is such a big word for such a small word.” The Laundromat (Steven Soderbergh, 2019) The rare miss for Soderbergh. Everything about this movie is lazy. A poorly-aped, McKay-esque docudrama composed of haphazardly-constructed vignettes that utilize too many narrative styles to note. Did I mention that everything about this movie is lazy?

Possession
“Goodness is only some kind of reflection upon evil.” Possession (Andrzej Zulawski, 1981) Touted by filmmakers I love and respect as a classic of the horror genre. Nonsense. It’s incoherent drivel. I literally booed the movie when it ended.
