MOVIES AND SHOWS WATCHED THIS WEEK
Roadgames (1981) – A truck driver plays a cat-and-mouse game with a mysterious serial killer on a desolate Australian highway. It’s a bit slow, but Stacy Keach and the dingo are great in it. 3.5/5
The Voices (2014) – A mentally unstable factory worker has to decide whether to listen to his talking cat and dog. One wants him to become a killer, the other wants him to keep striving for normalcy. Ryan Reynolds is really good in this as the unhinged lead. He also provides the voices of the dog and cat which are great. 4/5
eXistenZ (1999) – This one is a bit of a mind-fuck. It constantly has you questioning what is reality and what isn’t. It’s very Cronenberg and yet somehow doesn’t feel like Cronenberg at the same time. I can’t really explain it. 3/5
The People Under the Stairs (1991) – Listed as a horror comedy, I didn’t laugh much. Sure the “humor” is dark, but that really is a stretch. Plus, the kid wasn’t very good as a lead. Overall just kinda boring and makes me wonder if Wes Craven just got lucky with ANoES. 2.25/5
