Movie Reviews
Film and television reviewed the way I’d want to read them — with a rating that means something, an honest accounting of what works and what doesn’t, and craft notes for writers who want to understand how the machinery operates.
Each review includes a craft notes section for writers — specific observations about structure, character, world-building, and what the film does that you can actually use. Not theory. Technique you can steal.

Re-Animator (1985)
Stuart Gordon adapts H.P. Lovecraft's story about a medical student who develops a serum that revives the dead.
The Fly (1986)
David Cronenberg's body horror about a scientist whose teleportation experiment merges his DNA with a housefly.
