Balder bless filmmakers who know how to make a 90-minute movie. Seems like everything these days is a 2 hour and 45 minute epic, and that’s fine, but sometimes I just want to watch a movie that’s not going to involve hitting pause so I can take the dog out. With THE VAST OF NIGHT […]
Read More The Vast of Night: A Mark Bousquet ReviewI’ve never watched SOYLENT GREEN because I know how it ends. Dumb. If you are like me and have avoided watching the movie because you know the big twist (which I won’t give away on the odd chance you’ve never heard of the film), rectify that mistake. Because while I knew where SOYLENT ended up, […]
Read More Soylent Green: A Mark Bousquet ReviewCome for the set designs, stick around for the costumes, marvel at how the power of Farrah Fawcett’s feathered hairstyle is impervious to the passing of centuries, and do your best to ignore everything else. LOGAN’S RUN is never better than an okay, but is nonetheless so 1970s it is well worth a watch. It […]
Read More Logan’s Run: A Mark Bousquet ReviewIf there were a theme running through the second season of Jordan Peele’s reboot of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, it would be called… …the mean season. Peele still sticks to the spirit of Rod Serling’s brainchild, but there are a lot of episodes that would’ve fit more in the horror vein as a continuation of Serling’s […]

Read More The Rise of Skywalker1993 Toho Pictures Directed by Takao Okawara Produced by Shōgo Tomiyama Screenplay by Wataru Mimura Godzilla movies are about a big monster causing massive destruction, and yet the first 19 films largely feel almost intimate to me. Perhaps it’s a result of Godzilla being a dude in a rubber suit, or perhaps it’s because […]

Mechagodzilla II: A Mark Bousquet Review1992 Toho Pictures Directed by Takao Okawara Produced by Shōgo Tomiyama Screenplay by Kazuki Ōmori I have not watched all of the Godzilla movies, but I’ve watched most of them, and this is the first time I watched a Godzilla film and found myself wishing for the human scenes to last longer and the kaiju […]
