Before I begin this review I feel that I should admit to something. As a general rule, I don’t like splatter films. It’s not that I’m squeamish, or get faint at the sight of blood, or am in any way opposed to watching violence on the screen, I just find
Bad Times at the El Royale is the new tarentinoesque (congrats on the new word!) thriller from director Drew Goddard, whose previous credits include a couple of episodes of The Good Place, and The Cabin in the Woods…I haven’t seen either of those, but I’ve heard good things about Cabin

After enduring the film Metropolis (1927), I decided it was time for a lighter, funnier movie. I decided on Diner, and Tommy and I settled in for movie night. Diner came out in 1982 and was written and directed by Barry Levinson, who also brought us Liberty Heights (a film
