1980 | Horror
After almost 40 years since its original release (damn now I do feel old!), this is still one of the best horror films of its time, maybe it’s not on par for the younger audiences that have gotten oversaturated with the CGI and gore, but The Shining is psychological masterpiece that has to bee seen on a big screen for the full effect.

Twisted
A True Masterpiece of Psychological Horror
I am sadly disappointed to see this film so unappreciated as I truly believe it is nothing less of a masterpiece. From the carefully painted scenes to the perfectly executed acting this film holds nothing but love in my heart as it captures the true twisted outlook of today's world, carefully balancing racial ideas that would make many uncomfortable while hiding themes throughout the whole picture that keeps you watching again and again. When this film first came out I went to see it three times unable to get enough of this twisted, psychological thriller. This film is not for the faint of heart or those who get uncomfortable at the mention of racial topics. This is a film for those who enjoy tackling hard topics and are unafraid to face the truly twisted truths of the world.

Heavenly Creatures (1994)
Heavenly Creatures (1994)
1994 | Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi
Hmmm well it seems I'm in the minority but to call this a masterpiece is way off the mark for me. This was just a bit too surreal and odd. Based on a true crime in New Zealand in the 50's. It gets very strange later on as the relationship and madness intensifies! If you like wacky films or odd dramas you might love it, but it's not for me.

A Bug's Life (1998)
A Bug's Life (1998)
1998 | Animation, Family, Sci-Fi
A Bug’s Life, is loosely based on Kurosawa’s masterpiece, Seven Samurai. Watched side by side, the similarities between a Japanese revenge tale and a children’s classic are striking.


Kurosawa’s epic tells the story of starved Japanese villagers who hire seven unemployed Samurais to help them fight against bandits who continuously raid their town. Ya that sounds like the Plot to A Bugs Life.

 DONT GET ME WRONG I LOVE BOTH MOVIES.

An Animation So Unique it Holds Up Against Time
Even after all this time this film is outstandingly unique in every way. From the music to the iconic characters to the simple way the animation is translated over into film. This film was and always will be a masterpiece in its own right from the sheer uniqueness of the whole film.

The House That Jack Built (2018)
2018 | Horror, Thriller
The house that blah, blahblah! Another couple of hours spent watching artsy fartsy pretentious excrement that I'm sure some will assume is masterpiece of life changing cinema!
This director just doesn't improve with age, and although some may say that you need an open mind to take in all of the hidden meaning, I say invest your time better.
Matt Dillon is O.K, Film is Crap, be warned!
