408) LIGHTYEAR
(2022 dir. Angus MacLane) Date Seen: June 30 2022

quality space opera. 
quality Spaceman Spiff opera.

I always enjoyed the video game sequence that kickstarts TOY STORY 2 & this believably felt like the event movie that game could've derived from.. Purist haters need to clam up & just be happy we got this instead of something aggravatingly generic like ABC's Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.













407) HATCHING
(2022 dir. Hanna Bergholm) Date Seen: June 30 2022

please give a warm welcome to this slick & thematically rich newest member of the S
ymbiotic Killer horror family (e.g. MONKEY SHINES, De Palma's SISTERSBAD MILO, BRAIN DAMAGE, SPUTNIK, etc.) Did anyone else think the creature's earliest stage in this movie was oddly cute?? In a goblin-ish Smeagol way? Anyway, thing's not half as gross as the materialistic "influencer" mum & her draconian standards of perfection. I guess that's sort of the crux of the thing.













406) CYST
(2022 dir. Tyler Russell) Date Seen: June 29 2022

There's a body horror visual early on in this that's almost as gross as the nastiest part of Junji Ito's "Glyceride".
Lots of fun intentionally goofy acting and rubber monster effects going on at all times, but halfway through I sort of found myself wishing it was either funnier or scarier. Just something of lasting significance.















405) THE PASSENGER 
                        [LA PASAJERA]
(2022 dir. F.González Gómez / Cerezo) Date Seen: June 29 2022
