In the two thousand years that I've been alive, I've watched many flicks and TV shows, most on assignment for Daily Grindhouse and Cut Print Film (in case you're wondering why I not only let 2017's Baywatch happen to me, but also why it appears on this blog) as well as lots of flicks for leisure. Most of them are standard reviews while others are either mini-reviews as part of a larger discussion, extra-special retrospectives on certain flicks I feel are worthy of more attention, or extra-special deconstructions of some of the worst movies you could ever see. The below is the end result of ten years plus writing about film, so feel free to dive in and pick your poison.
I'll also mention that I generally don't respond to unsolicited requests for reviews anymore because I'm old, broken down, and broken-souled, but if you want to reach out anyway and test your luck, I'm always willing to hear someone out.

Found footage movies go by many other names: the mockumentary, cinéma vérité, first-person POV. Love 'em or hate 'em, this device has been part of the horror genre since the turn of the century. (Seriously!) The Blair Witch Project showed how so much could be done with so little, while Cloverfield proved you could go big – very big. The Found Footage archives is a definitive list of flicks – from big budget to no budget; from all four corners of the world; from the released, to the unreleased; the good, the bad, and everything in between. Check it out.
