    I loved this series so much. I binged most of it in one day, which I haven’t done in a while (especially for a dramatic series). The premise of interviewing serial killers made for some fascinating scenes — and some great performances — and I quite liked that they mixed these with a few “new”…

  • Hellraiser

    There was definitely a phase in my life where I loved what Clive Barker was doing (like this and Nightbreed). Sure, the effects are of the era, but this film is still incredibly creepy, and I can still appreciate how different this felt from most of the horror films of the era — body and…

  • Beverly Hills Cop II

    I think this, for me, is arguably the movie that represented 1987 the most for me. Eddie Murphy was at his peak, and I probably watched it a million times — re-watching it now, it was crazy how many of the lines came back to me (like with The Golden Child). It’s not a great…

  • The Lost Boys

    This is one of those movies that I remembered very fondly from the era, but hadn’t watched since then, and so was a bit worried at how it might have aged. I can happily say that I very much enjoyed revisiting this — oh yeah, it’s 80s as hell, but in a lovable way, and…

    And so here we go. Following all of the the year-based movie marathons I’ve done so far this year (1985, 1967, 1986, 1977) I kick off what I imagine will be the last one I do this year: 1985. I have a massive list of stuff I want to watch (60+ I think, but I…

  • Spielberg

    The second great documentary I watched last week (following the Clive Davis one) was the Spielberg documentary that aired on HBO. It’s a really fantastic look at the man’s career, and makes you appreciate even more what he was able to achieve through his life’s work (so far). Unlike the Clive Davis one, I didn’t…

  • Like it’s 1977

    Well, following my 1985, 1967, and 1986 movie marathons, I’m now done with my journey back to 1977. Just like for 1967, I kept it to down to 10 films, and it was pretty easy for me to come up with the list of films to watch — I immediately came up with all 10…
