The Infernal Machine
(2022)

Too overly complicated and disconnected
The Infernal Machine is a thriller movie directed by Andrew Hunt and starring Guy Pearce as a reclusive novelist who is haunted by his past and stalked by a mysterious fan. The film has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised Pearce's performance but criticized the slow pace and the unconvincing plot lines

The movie "The Infernal Machine" is inconsistent because it has a confusing and illogical plot twist that contradicts the established facts and character motivations. According to some reviews, the movie reveals that William Dukent, the obsessed fan who stalks Bruce Cogburn, is actually a fictional character created by Cogburn himself as a way of coping with his guilt and trauma over the Knoxville tragedy. However, this revelation does not make sense, as it implies that Cogburn has been sending letters and gifts to himself, and that he has been hallucinating the presence of Dukent in his house and in his phone calls. Moreover, the movie does not explain how Cogburn knows so much about Dukent's personal life and background, or why he would invent such a complex and menacing persona for himself. The movie also fails to address the role of Dwight Tufford, the mass shooter who claimed to be inspired by Cogburn's book, and how he is connected to Dukent and Cogburn. The movie leaves many questions unanswered and creates more plot holes than it resolves.

Depeche Mode: Ghosts Again
(2023)

Time is fleeting, see what it brings....
Depeche Mode is a British electronic music band that has been active since 1980. They have released 15 studio albums, including their latest one, Memento Mori, which came out on March 24, 2023. Ghosts Again is the first single from Memento Mori, and it was released on February 9, 20241. The song is about the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death, as the lyrics say: "We know we'll be ghosts again / Faith is sleeping / Lovers, in the end / Whisper we'll be ghosts again".

The official video for Ghosts Again was directed by Anton Corbijn, a longtime collaborator of Depeche Mode. The video features the band members performing in a dark and foggy forest, surrounded by ghostly figures and animals. The song is all the more poignant given the sudden death of founding member of the band, Andrew Fletcher...

The Exorcist III
(1990)

Original and we'll thought out storyline
The film is set 15 years after the events of The Exorcist, and follows Lieutenant William F. Kinderman (Scott), a police detective who investigates a series of murders that resemble the modus operandi of the Gemini Killer, a serial killer who was executed years ago. Kinderman's investigation leads him to a psychiatric hospital, where he encounters a mysterious patient (Miller) who claims to be the reincarnated Gemini Killer, and who also bears a striking resemblance to Father Damien Karras, a priest who died during an exorcism in the first film. Kinderman soon realizes that the patient is possessed by a demonic force that is somehow connected to the events of the past.

Mr. Harrigan's Phone
(2022)

Disappointed
Like so many movies out there I find myself asking why the writer didn't make a lot more of this movie, a lot of it was just pointless altogether, so much didn't make sense at all, why the crossed armed poses of victims?? Why the orchid?? Why the absolute hell did the schoolteacher that actually helped the main characterr get killed, totally out of the damn blue?? Why did it end so rushed and all these factors had nothing to do with the ending of this movie? Like I said with so many movies, why do the creative ideas always seem to dry up when normal Joe soaps like me could honestly have Done a better job of at least the climax of this movie? It was entertaining but overall it was disappointing...
