Sinners, Lake Mungo, Being John Malkovich Movie Reviews and Deep Dive

from I Watch More Movies Than You · host Ken Palmer

Ryan Coogler's breathtaking genre film, Sinners (2025), has taken the audience by storm! Coogler reunites with Michael B. Jordan as the Smoke Stack twins and invites us into one of the most culturally unique places and times in American history, the Mississippi Delta. Miles Caton as Preacher Boy is an absolute breakout performance, plus the always amazing Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim, Hailee Steinfeld, Omar Benson Miller, and the powerful Wunmi Mosaku all come together to give the richest character development I've seenthat sets the stage for horror, blues, and history to form a Faustian bargain of sorts to create one of the most unique films in recent history.Sinners is truly a MUST SEE film on the biggest screen possible, preferably IMAX, as Coogler shot the film on an I-MAX camera and can large in part thank Christopher Nolan and a conversation they had prior to filming. Sinners is truly a unique genre film, garnering a lot of comparisons to From Dusk Till Dawn but absolutely carving its own path and diverging half-way through to become a potential masterpiece. An incredible script, unforgettable music from Ludwig Göransson, strong performances, gorgeous scene-setting one shots and pans over a haunting and beautiful Mississippi backdrop, to one of the coolest stories to ever play out on the big screen brought to life by lived in costumer design and to-die-for set pieces... do NOT miss Sinners, in all movie theaters now, and enjoy our SPOILER-FREE review! Our next film needs no introduction to anyone that enjoys horror movies, Lake Mungo (2008). 'Lake Mungo' is also known as the Australian Blair Witch Project, but it is so much more than that. Do you remember that feeling a truly scary movie used to be able to elicit from you, maybe earlier in your horror watching career before you became desensitized? I'm talking about a movie that has you checking the back of your car after you leave the theater, looking down the dark hallways of your house a little more closely that night. For me, Paranormal Activity achieved this on opening night in a cinema, a horror flick that truly followed me home. Lake Mungo deserves to be in that conversation, and is for so many horror fans.Lake Mungo, in my opinion, is part of the Twin Peaks extended universe- watch and let us know in a review if you agree! The worst happens to the Palmers and they lose their 16 year old daughter, but that is only the beginning. From strange happenings around the house, to horrific and dark secrets unveiled about Alice and seemingly another life lived, to grief laid bare by the Palmers, and the weirdo brother and inexplicable bruises and ghostly photography he captures- Lake Mungo has it all. This mockumentary is of dark and haunting proportions, unsettling in the best of ways, and an ending scene that will be carved into your mind for the rest of your life. Go watch 'Lake Mungo' now and do it in the darkest setting possible- sorry in advance but also you're incredibly welcome! A stone cold classic saved for last. Think Severance, think mind-bending cinema goodness, think Being John Malkovich! 'Being John Malkovich' came out in the LOADED film year of 1999 and, in a lot of ways, isn't spoken about nearly enough. See what's behind the most recognizable VHS cover you've ever seen- we dive deep into the cerebral exploration of Cartesian Dualism, cinema and its exploitation and exploration, and one of the most original screenplays you have ever seen come to life! Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman come together here first, and proceed to set the movie world on fire with the help of John Cusak, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, and the powerful John Malkovich.  'Being Tom Cruise' was almost a thing, join our convo and find out what the heck that's about!Now go forth and watch Sinners in theaters, and go watch these other two phenomenal films- you have three absolute bangers here! And, please share us!
