Reviews, Discussions, and Interviews – All from Nashville
‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is Silly, Beautiful, and Ultimately Rewarding (Review)
It’s not often we see films that successfully throw in the whole kitchen sink. And sure, while this concept of the “multiverse” is starting to appear outside comic book films, it might overstay its welcome if the formula starts to show any signs of becoming stale....
Mark Rylance was Tailor-Made for Clever Crime Thriller ‘The Outfit’ (Review)
As we roll on through March, studios continue to steer clear of The Batman throughout most of the month. By not presenting the Warner Brothers’ film with a blockbuster challenge, it provides an opportunity for other studios to release smaller films. And thankfully,...
‘The Adam Project’ is Ryan Reynolds’ Finest Film to Date (Review)
More often than some might realize, a majority of Netflix’s big budget films are mostly forgettable, even though they may feel appropriately fine for their streaming service. These films come and go the second the credits roll, as the streamer offers you a variety of...
‘You Won’t Be Alone’ is an Affecting Arthouse Folktale with Aspirations for Grandeur Amongst its Horrors (Review)
Folk horror has become a niche of interest among filmmakers within the horror genre in recent years, from Robert Eggers’ debut feature The Witch and Lukas Feigelfeld’s criminally overlooked debut Hagazussa to Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, an epic documentary...
‘Deep Water’ is Bizarre and Unintentionally Funny (Review)
It’s nice to see Ben Affleck all but move on from his take on Batman for Warner Brothers (minus one more brief appearance in next year’s The Flash). Hopefully, means we’ll get to see him in more dramas and thrillers that capture viewer’s eyes. While his latest film,...

With the annual bombardment of comic book movies we see every year, it’s hard to believe that it has been a decade since we last saw a Batman solo movie (The Dark Knight Rises). During that span, some of those films have left a lasting impression on cinema consumers...
Unfunny and Already Outdated ‘The Bubble’ is Judd Apatow at his Worst (Review)
We are a few days removed from the 94th Academy Awards, but it already feels like Will Smith slapping Chris Rock will be among the most talked about things for the rest of the year and beyond. After the incident occurred, director Judd Apatow in a now deleted tweet...
Interview: Two years later, Daniel Lombroso reflects on the impact of his documentary ‘White Noise’
When filmmaker Daniel Lombroso released his 2020 documentary White Noise, he couldn’t have possibly known that an unprompted “sequel” was just around the corner. It wasn’t one of Lombroso’s making, more of a culmination of what his observational political documentary...
‘Cyrano’ is a Marvelous Musical Film Adaptation of a Timeless Tale (Review)
Director Joe Wright’s career has been uneven in its attempts to reach the heights it did with the one-two punch of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement in 2005 and 2007 respectively, although his WWII-set period piece Darkest Hour received awards recognition in 2018. His...
