50 Word Critique of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
Featuring a mother’s enduring love and enemy turned surrogate father, this coming-of-age tale serves as a stark warning about technological hubris that we can no longer ignore. Unprecedented action and cutting-edge special effects underpin the message that there is NO FATE and we can only save ourselves.

Carrie
In this revenge tragedy, terror is what happens when a supernaturally gifted, telekinetic girl gets parentally abused and mercilessly bullied by her schoolmates. All it took to trigger death and destruction on a grand scale was a well-aimed bucket full of pig blood at the Prom. Be afraid, very afraid.

Imagine waking up to discover you're dead! This happens to Grace and her children. At first, upon hearing strange footsteps, voices, and a piano that plays itself, Grace believes her house is haunted by ghosts. She later discovers she and her children are the ghosts. The others are the living.

Barbie: Not For All Ages
An explosion of pink and feminism, of equality that might be truly equal one day. Filled with inappropriate jokes and nostalgia, this is not your daughter’s Barbie movie. So please, do not bring your young children to this movie and then complain about it; it is rated PG-13, after all.

"The Lighthouse", a bite-sized critique. Second Place in Critique Challenge.
At the A24 logo: your eyes roll, mine light up. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are weird, gross, old-timey men. They're perfect. It gets trippy; a love letter to Weird fiction. The end, an allusion, on the nose. Call me pretentious, it's right up my alley. I own the Blu-Ray.

The Exorcist
Youngster Linda Blair effectively portrays tortured Irish Catholic preadolescent Reagan MacNeill in the movie “The Exorcist”. Diabolically set, close to the America’s governing heartbeat the domestic sacramental war pitting priests against evil forces rocks both furniture and mind as possession crosses the line, leaving the audience wanting guilty pleasure forgiveness.

Skinamarink
Would you like to see two hours of ankles, door frames, and ceilings? If you answered yes, Skinamarink is the movie for you. Never in my life have I watched such an awful movie, and I’ve seen Christmas Vacation 2, so that’s really saying something. This horror movie is horrible.
