Coming off Fear Street Part One: 1994 — a nostalgic 90s-style teen slasher and a fabulously fun entry into the genre in its own right — I was concerned that the follow-up sequels in the trilogy…

In the never-ending LeBron James-Michael Jordan debate, it always comes back to counting championships. For many, LeBron will never surpass Jordan until he at least earns his sixth NBA title. Sitting at four currently, that…

If you know a thing or two about horror movies, you are probably aware that the heydays of Italian horror are long over. Instead of coming up with something original, directors Roberto de Feo (also…

Stop me if you’ve seen this one before: a highly-skilled assassin working for a shadowy organization gets betrayed by their employers and is hunted down; said assassin, though merciless if need be, becomes emotionally attached…

Teen slasher flicks — we all know how they work. The kids are horny (unless you’re the bullied virgin), the night is dark and full of terrors, and the blood is fire engine red. Wash,…

Crystal blue water, golden hour sunshine, delicious pasta, and plenty more lovely vibes. While watching Luca, you may come to forget it comes from the same company that made three Cars movies. It probably won’t…

Kids. Love ’em or hate ’em, we can all agree they’re emissaries of Satan sent to destroy the Earth, amirite? Or possibly vampires. Or something that isn’t right. At least that’s the case for young mother Laura…

This is the time of the year when Oscar rumors are beginning to make the rounds. Let me be helpful and add some: I predict that The Tomorrow War will not win an Oscar for its…

Netflix is home to far too many crime documentaries, especially about murder, so you might be tempted to skip this one. However, that would be a shame. After all, Murder by the Coast isn’t a…

Gather ’round children, an old man is going to tell you about ye olde action movies. Let me take you back to a time when Chuck Norris headlined films. When Michael Dudikoff had a career.…

It’s safe to say that no American filmmaker working today is quite as polarizing as Zack Snyder. Detractors renounce the Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel et al. director as the hack creator of one dour,…

As I’m sitting at my laptop writing this review, I’m drinking a glass of red wine — partly inspired by The Woman in the Window’s central protagonist Anna Fox, and partly driven to drink by…

All hail Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, purveyors of all things deliriously unhinged, meta, and yet still somehow deeply thoughtful. I still contend one of the biggest mistakes in blockbuster moviemaking the last decade was…

A woman wakes up in a cramped cryogenic pod. She can’t remember who she is or how she got there and as the pod’s AI matter-of-factly informs her, she’s fast running out of oxygen.  Alexandre…

I find myself thinking about 2017’s Get Out, a lot. It being one of the best movies made in my lifetime aides to that, but I often find myself reflecting on Jordan Peele’s decision in…

With the world slowly starting to show signs of normalcy, the impact of COVID-19 on the entertainment industry, and specifically film, is undeniable. The visible wake of the impact from the virus grows more apparent…

High school movies are a dime a dozen. Though the specific narrative, characters, and details will vary, the genre, for the most part, is pretty cookie-cutter. The new Netflix film, Moxie (based on the book…

Well, it couldn’t last forever, could it? Week after week, I have been able to watch and review some splendid movies on this very site. Unfortunately, Red Dot is not one of them. In fact,…

The third installment in the To All the Boys canon follows Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) as they prepare for their post-high school future at Stanford together. Everything is neatly scheduled, including the…

Sam Levinson’s lockdown project Malcolm & Marie will go down as one of the most divisive movies this year. Starring the incredible Zendaya as Marie and John David Washington as Malcolm, the film is based…

I don’t know about you, but I certainly didn’t go into Outside the Wire expecting it to function as a critique of the U.S. military. Mikael Håfström’s latest operates with the idea that if the military continues…

Pieces of a Woman is Kornél Mundruczó’s first full feature in English. The acclaimed Hungarian director teamed up with big names such as Vanessa’s Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, and Ellen Burstyn, and the movie chronicles the consequences of…

What Does Hollywood Have Against 2049? 2049 and three weeks after what is referred to as “The Event”, humanity faces extinction, except for the extravagantly named Augustine Lofthouse (George Clooney), who has remained at his…

Every year, a day after the Oscars ceremony, I start writing an article about the awards for the following year. This year was no exception. Of the movies that I predicted to be nominated, some were…

Citizen Kane. Decent flick. Odds are you were forced to study it endlessly in your Intro to Film course in college — it’s second only to Breathless among the films you were most likely to hate…
