Editor’s Note: The following review of The Truth initially ran during MovieBabble’s coverage of the 2019 Denver Film Festival. The Truth (La vérité) seems a particularly tricky film to handle. It covers the stormy reunion…

Odds are you’ve seen a bad Happy Madison movie. Adam Sandler’s production house has produced plenty of limp comedies only a 13-year-old boy can love. Granted, I was one of those 13-year-old boys at one…

By now, everyone knows that Tommy Wiseau is by far one of the greatest actors in history. No other person can reach his level of emotion or his infectious charisma. Ever since his breakout performance…

As a filmmaker, Josh Trank is less famous for his body of work than for his public persona. It all started with the modestly budgeted, Chronicle. Told via a found-footage narrative, it entailed the story…

When you hear that Netflix is releasing a documentary involving comedians, actors, chefs, musicians, and others, all sharing their psychedelic drug trip stories, what do you imagine? Whacky animations? Bizarrely retro skits? Nick Offerman dressed…

Some actors were just made for the screen. They were practically born into it. Hollywood was just an inevitable part of their childhood — molding and shaping who they were. For these actors and actresses,…

Recency bias affects us more often than we realize when it comes to analyzing films. Many are so quick to spread effusive praise, claiming some film as the “best” in one way or another. You…

It’s been three and a half years since the Obamas left the political stage, and I still miss them. And guess what? I’m not even American! Still, I miss the ex-president, because of his intelligence,…

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…

Get In opens with a black man being manhandled by the police on his own front porch. A freakishly prescient scene, as there’s never a shortage of news concerning police brutality against minorities. For many,…

Wartime comedies must walk a fine line. Obviously, they have to be funny. But they also have to fully present in a world in which war is the norm. In 1942, the original To Be or…

So, you’ve never heard about Tubi TV? If you are a movie freak, then you are missing out on some really cool stuff. Tubi TV is a lot like Netflix and Amazon Prime, except that……

Yesterday morning, it was announced that Jerry Stiller had passed away. Upon hearing the news I felt sad. But why? I’ve never met Jerry Stiller. He’s not a relative of mine. We’re not personality connected,…

Three days. It took me three days to finish watching Mrs. Serial Killer. What torture! And it will be even bigger torture not to write anything mean about Mrs. Serial Killer. Frankly, I don’t think…

I always think it’s a little silly when we ascribe descriptors to a film that never intended to have them. Clementine has been described by many as an “erotic thriller”, which is pretty hilarious when…

How To Build A Girl is based on the semi-autobiographical novel by English journalist and broadcaster Caitlin Moran. As a woman who was writing for a national music magazine at 16 and writing for The Times…

On April 15th, 2020, we lost the great Brian Dennehy. It goes without saying that, as an actor, he left behind a great legacy. As with many people, the first time I noticed him was…

Days before the release of Bad Trip, I had discovered the wonderful stupidity of The Eric André Show. It’s a baffling show, not just hilarious, but sometimes eerily surreal. It’s not a show that wants you…

Did you know that YouTube is home to a lot of really good short horror movies? There are even some channels that are devoted to them, such as ALTER, Omeleto, and Screamfest. My favorite by…

The Half of It, the most recent iteration of Cyrano de Bergerac, after Sierra Burgess is a Loser, follows Ellie, a shy, hardworking nerd, as she helps Paul, a slow but sweet jock, try to win the…

Clark Duke has made a sizeable living being the dependable comic relief. He was the one who traveled to the fictional eighties alongside John Cusack in Hot Tub Time Machine; he was the nerdy sidekick…

Some TV shows we (mostly I) just can’t let die. I personally cannot watch the final episode of M*A*S*H because it makes me so sad to say goodbye (also, it’s three hours long and I don’t…

On April 30, 2010, a remake of the classic 1984 horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street was released. Many, including me, asked the burning question: “Why?” How could you tackle something so iconic, and why even…

When I came to live in Spain two years ago, I knew exactly three directors of my new home country. They are Alex de la Iglesia, Pedro Almodóvar, and Alejandro Aménabar. Moreover, I was acquainted…

You probably don’t need me to tell you that ICE detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants throughout the United States is a hot button issue. You also probably didn’t need me to start this review by…

Mutations. Zombies. Mutilation. Violence. Disease. Contagion. Transformation. These are some of the elements of the subgenre called “body horror”. You might think that this is a recent phenomenon. But nothing could be further from the…

I agonized over the title of this article for some time. (SEO is tough, ya’ll.) But sometimes, when a movie is as ridiculous as Deerskin, being as plain as possible can do wonders. It paints…

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…

In January of 2019 at the Sundance Film Festival, I saw a film that I was convinced was going to resonate wide and far in Martha Stephens melancholic coming-of-age film To The Stars. The film…
