LIVING Starring Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood, Alex Sharp, Tom Burke
Do you remember the movie Independence Day? Of course you do. Massive summer blockbuster that launched Will Smith into superstardom, right? Came out just a few years ago? Fun fact: after this summer, the release of Independence Day will be closer in history to the moon landings than to the present day. Why did I […]
MISSING Starring Storm Reid, Joaquim de Almeida, Ken Leung
The next digital screen flick told entirely from the POV of computer screens, text messages, facetime, and other social media, Missing, is out today exclusively in theaters. The film is directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick. Much in the vein of 2018’s Searching (which is also the same creative team behind the newest film), and 2021’s Profile, we see this […]
Movie Review: M3GAN Starring Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald
It’s nice. To have. A friend. Seem a little familiar? The tagline is reminiscent of another killer doll that we all know and love, Chucky. And, this revamped version of the killer doll horror flick is definitely Gen Z’s Child’s Play. M3gan is the latest film presented by Blumhouse, and it’s a safe bet to […]
Movie Review: A MAN CALLED OTTO Starring Tom Hanks, John Higgins, Tony Bingham
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: grumpy old person turns beloved neighbor and family member after opening up to their neighbors. It’s nothing original, yet if done well enough, keeps people coming back for more. And so it is with A Man Called Otto, in itself a remake of A Man Called Ove, […]
James Cameron Makes Grand Return to Pandora With AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER (Review)
James Cameron is a Hollywood juggernaut. Now, you may not think of his name first when you’re listing the top directors nowadays; you might think Spielberg, Tarantino, Nolan. But when you look at the list of movies for which he at least directed and wrote, aside from Piranha II, his success rate is astonishing. The […]
Movie Review: RAYMOND AND RAY Starring Ewan McGregor, Ethan Hawke
How do you say goodbye to someone you hate? I mean, in most cases, you don’t. If you see them in public, you’ll likely try to avoid them, unless you’re in a pugilistic mood and feel like confronting them. But what if that person is your father, and he’s passed away and specifically requested you […]
Movie Review: BLACK ADAM Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the biggest action star in the world, and rightfully so. He’s made movies where he blows sh*t up, fires big guns, wrecks cars, jumped off buildings, fought domestic terrorists, defeated a giant ape and even went head-to-head with an earthquake. The man has done it all. So, it’s pretty clear […]
Movie Review: BLONDE Starring Ana de Armas
Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) and adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name, Blonde is an uncomfortable look into the life of one of Hollywood’s most iconic leading ladies – Marilyn Monroe. While this fictionalized, sensational account of the actor’s life does make […]
Movie Review: DON’T WORRY DARLING Starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine
A film that brings up some interesting ideas, Don’t Worry Darling also feels very familiar. By the time we finally figure out what is going on, the movie is practically over – with no time to explore what sets it apart from similar stories. It’s hard not to be left wanting more by the time […]
Movie Review: BARBARIAN Starring Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long
With what seems like a very little amount of advertising and publicity before its release, Zach Cregger’s Barbarian creeps exclusively into theaters this weekend. Maybe the quietness surrounding the release was purposeful, as it seems the film is meant to be a hidden gem. With a rather ambiguous trailer, the plot of the film seems […]
