In Honor Of Juneteenth

For those who are not aware, Juneteenth marks the day the last group of enslaved African-Americans in Galveston, Texas were freed after the arrival of the Union Army. It’s an important day, should be a national holiday, but the point of the matter is that there is still a nationwide protest to combat systemic racism and white supremacy today. I’ll continue with reviews next week, but for right now if you can please make a donation to one of these great organizations!

If you’d like a movie recommendation for this weekend, I’d suggest Horror Noire, a history and analysis of black horror. It’s an informative, entertaining, and thought-provoking film that chronicles many important black horror films. It’s also currently free to watch on Shudder, with instructions below on how to do so. Thank you for reading and stay safe.

I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)

I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)

Directed by Sylvain White

I could finish this review in one sentence. The director of I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is the same person who directed Slenderman and this is just as bad. If you are one of the unlucky few who actually saw Slenderman then you know exactly what’s in store for us today! If you are blissfully ignorant of the horrors of Slenderman, don’t worry, I’ll tell you exactly why this movie should not be watched by anyone. Time for a venting session, because I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is Citizen Kane compared to this.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

      Now it’s time for the gloves to come off. There was a lot I didn’t like about I Know What You Did Last Summer, but I recognize that there was good filmmaking and acting there, it just wasn’t always properly utilized. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer does not have that problem. Every silly concept, every dumb idea, every absurd circumstance that the first movie kind of made work comes crashing down here in new and exciting ways. Sometimes that’s fun. Sometimes it’s painful. I’ve bigged it up enough so now I need to get into the thick of it and explain why I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is so bad, pull up a chair, this could take a while.

      I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

      I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

      Directed by Jim Gillespie

      It’s that time of year again. The weather is heating up, peaches are on sale, school…has been in a bit of limbo for a while already. Okay okay, summer this year probably won’t be like the summers we’re all used to. Except for me, because I plan to spend this summer the same as all the others, inside and watching tons of movies, and what better way to start off the season than with a movie that has summer right in its title? This week I’ll be taking on all three entries in the short lived I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer franchise and I’ll finally be able to tell you if it’s worth knowing what happened last summer.

      Something More Important Than Reviews.

      Due to recent important developments I’ve decided to postpone this week’s planned posts so that we can instead use this time to listen to and learn from the many people who have spoken up regarding systemic racism.

      In addition, please take this opportunity to donate what you can to one of the many charities providing support and services for communities of color, like the NAACP. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/naacp-1

      Thank you for reading this, I’ll return next week with a bevy of reviews, but this is a bit more important.

      Please stay safe.
