Tubi TV is a fascinating, free service full of cult oddities from around the world. It’s got a little bit of everything a movie fan could ever want. As such, on a recurring basis, we’re…

“CHICK FLICKS DON’T HAVE TO SUCK.” This quote from Movieline’s Jen Yamato was splashed across movie posters for Bridesmaids leading up to its wide release on May 13th, 2011. The marketing team must have loved…

I’m quietly a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I didn’t grow up watching it and only discovered it in the last few years, but I really enjoy it. Riffing on bad movies is basically…

A jiggered presentation order, notable upsets, and Glenn Close dancing to “Da Butt” were only a few of the oddities that took place during the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony. Soderbergh went full Soderbergh, changing the…

It was a day like any other: Chad McSmithJohnson was guiding the large cargo ship through the Suez Canal as he normally does. He looked down at a picture of him, his estranged wife, and…

Donnie Darko, Fight Club, The Thing… all ‘cult’ films that made the square root of nada at the box office but have been critically vindicated since. 20 years ago, Josie and the Pussycats joined this hallowed…

“That was a pretty savage review that Adina had, let’s see what it’s actually like.” “Ralph Fiennes is really leaning into this whole pipe schtick. I wonder if that’ll be a thing this whole movie?”…

On the surface, Memento and 50 First Dates don’t have much in common except for their main plot device of short-term memory loss. Even digging a bit deeper, it’s hard to find the connecting thread between the two.…

This year’s awards season has been somewhat chaotic. From the wildness of the Golden Globes to the BAFTA Jury selections, and even the steady rise of Borat 2, this awards season has been far from normal. However,…

I’m a sucker for a good Robin Williams flick. The Birdcage is one of my favorites because of the departure it takes from his normal roles. Of course, the rest of the cast really makes the movie, particularly Nathan Lane and Gene…

Even if you’ve never actually read anything by Jack London, likely you’re familiar with his two most famous novels, The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which have both been adapted into films a…

The 15th of February marked the 30th anniversary of Nothing but Trouble, which to date, is Dan Aykroyd’s only directorial feature. Hailed as both a critical and commercial flop at the time, I do have…

For all the griping we do collectively when child performances go wrong, we don’t often give them enough praise when they go right. Sure, even the best actors can struggle to connect with an unsteady…

Tired of all the awards bodies awarding the same films over and over? Well, how about an entirely unconventional awards ceremony, presented in a single article, sourced from a voting pool of one? This is…

The Silence of the Lambs scares the living daylights out of me. Anthony Hopkins is possibly the most terrifying actor to exist. I’m not sure if he should take that as a compliment or not, but…

It’s fitting that The Criterion Collection is releasing Ramin Bahrani’s Man Push Cart as part of its February releases just a few weeks after his latest film, The White Tiger, dropped on Netflix. Superficially, seeing Bahrani…

The Misfits is quite an obscure little movie. Despite it being the last performance for both Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, it isn’t talked about quite enough. Many people most likely don’t even know it exists.…

Before I rip into The Mechanic (2011), I’d like to start with a little story. Once upon a time, I saw this movie was having an anniversary and rushed to write an article on it.…
