This week on The MovieBabble Podcast, we ask the tough questions that other critics are too afraid to tackle. For example: What does the abolition of the Paramount Decrees mean? When does the Kissing Booth Franchise…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

With the abundance of streaming services, it has become apparent that cord-cutting, and the mass adoption of streaming is inevitable. However, with the diversified selection, it is becoming harder and harder to get all the…

HBO Max is here, and it is loaded to the brim with classic and contemporary content. Between Warner Bros’ century-old library, Turner Classic Movies, Studio Ghibli, and more, it is a real contender with Netflix…

The internet (or at least the specific corners of it) finally got what it wanted: The Snyder Cut is coming to HBO Max in 2021. Zack Snyder will go back to the editing bay and…

LEVINE. To those even decently well-versed in the classical music world, the name James Levine is likely to bring forth a slew of contradicting reactions. On one end is a sense of deep reverence: Levine…

Star-studded erotic thrillers have long been out of fashion. Perhaps this is due to the viewer being more desensitized to sexual content. The stuff you see on your regular HBO show is often far more…

To write a year-in-review list immediately after the year ends is always a fascinating experiment. What ends up sticking in your brain five, ten, twenty years after the New Year’s Eve confetti has settled is…

An odd year, 2021. We returned to theaters, kinda. Some studios tried baiting people back with mixed results, some gave the option to stay safe while screening their new releases. As for the films themselves,…

Cape Fear is a Hitchcock film without Hitchcock. Who better to make it than Martin Scorcese, the master of all things bloody and dark? It’s the kind of film that theaters were made for. Cape Fear is…

Red Notice is an action-comedy starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot — three people whose movies I generally avoid. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might have definite star power but he has a track…

Two and a Half Men is an abominable sitcom and I’m ashamed to admit that in my younger, and far more vulnerable years, I did watch an episode or two. If there was one good…

The Night House opens with Beth (Rebecca Hall) returning home after her husband’s funeral. She lives inside a luxurious lake house, itself designed by her late husband Owen (Evan Jonigkeit). Owen’s death was self-inflicted. It…

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…

1988’s Coming to America is possibly the last ‘classic’ Eddie Murphy film. After that, most of his films either missed the mark critically or commercially, oftentimes both. Personally, I do think some of his later…

Many former SNL titans have taken the leap to movies. MacGruber, Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, Master of Disguise, Caddyshack, National Lampoon, Talladega Nights, Baby Mama, are just the titles I can think of at the…

Following up their recent Academy Award-nominated feature, the Japanese animation stalwart and truly a standard-bearer brand synonymous with quality animated film, Studio Ghibli turned to a classic novel by famous British young adult fantasy author Dianne…

For Context: When Inside Out was released in 2015, it was a revelation. On one hand, it was simply another link in the Pixar chain of “what if ________ had feelings?” (pick an object and…

Stereotypes are a detriment to good writing. They create clichés, generalize the vast amount of nuance many cultures hold, and worst of all, they’re unoriginal. The Irish stereotype of a lush green land full of…

The original Tales from the Hood from 1995 was an enjoyable mixture of horror schlock and social commentary, emulating the spirit of the classic HBO TV series, Tales from the Crypt, with its whimsical attitude…

Oh look, that new Woody Allen film is finally coming out in the States, the one with Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez. Huh. Guess it’d be interesting to review that, to see if it’s any…

The original The Babysitter was a surprisingly odd showdown between Cole (Judah Lewis) and his babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving)’s gang of satan worshipping teens. In The Babysitter: Killer Queen, two years later, Cole is a…

We all have movies that stop us in our tracks. Whether you watch hundreds, dozens, or just a couple of movies a year, there is always one that just hits differently than the others. It…

Surprise! Tenet has once again been rescheduled, but Christopher Nolan is probably more frustrated by his greatest films being streamed via Fortnite…  In the wake of another round of COVID-19-related delays, will The New Mutants face…

Trying to wash the memory of Artemis Fowl from their minds, Brennan and Nick take some time to deep dive into Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods (spoilers). It’s also a crazy time in the movie world, with…

This past week was strangely one of the more crowded for movies since the start of quarantine with the releases of Da 5 Bloods, Artemis Fowl, and The King of Staten Island on various streaming platforms and VOD. (If…
