A Revisit: Body Parts (1991)

As I’ve recounted in several past reviews, the early nineties were a glorious time for me and my little band of horror movie-loving knuckleheads. Being in our early teens at the time, we were out to devour every bit of R Rated mayhem we could get our grubby mitts on, and into the mix of […]

Sinners (2025)

I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while, going back to it’s theatrical release. As usual, Life got in the way and I missed this highly praised little genre gem when it swept over our local Big Screen. What I did not miss was the increasingly vocal and almost overwhelmingly positive scuttle-butt that […]

Doctor Zhivago (1965)

Or, as the onscreen title proclaims it – David Lean’s Film of Doctor Zhivago For years, the only relation I had with Doctor Zhivago was the title’s prominent usage in my Second Favourite Movie Ever – True Romance (1993), inserted by Quentin Tarantino and Tony Scott as a clandestine place-holder for character conversations revolving around […]

THEKNEEJERKREACTION’s Favourite 100 Movies

A Revisit: Wild at Heart (1990)

His key titles are predominately dark, absurd, violent and erotic, always with a sly and subversive sense […]

A Revisit: Cowboys and Aliens (2011)

In the way back years of 2007-2011, I was a film revisor at a company in Vancouver BC called Technicolor Cinema Distribution and during my tenure there, this admittedly absurd and right-to-the-fucking-point titled flick came through my revising workspace, mildly intriguing me with it’s hefty marketing campaign and why-the-hell-not premise. While I didn’t end up […]

The Post (2017)

In my near half century on this small blue world of ours (damn, that’s depressing to see in writing), I’ve come to realize that there are three tiers, when it comes to the work of one of the finest filmmakers who’s ever lived – Steven Spielberg. In the top level, Tier One, you have most […]
