‘RRR’ is Back in Theaters Today and Here’s Why You Should Go
Few films deserve an #encoRRRe like this one.
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ is a Remarkable, Thrilling Sequel (Review)
Summer at the movies is just getting started, but Tom Cruise and company have set a really high the bar in this soaring sequel that finally is landing in theaters.
‘Men’ is the Most Bizarre and Divisive Film of 2022 (Review)
A24 has always been known for releasing weird and sometimes confusing movies. With Men, they might have gone the weirdest they ever have. Writer/Director Alex Garland has made some really interesting films with Ex Machina and Annihilation. Men is by far his most polarizing movie to date and it will leave audiences with tons of questions. But is it worth making the trip to the theater?
Subject Matter in ‘On the Count of Three’ Warrants Your Attention (Review)
Moments into On the Count of Three, you might utter the words, “Oh *insert any four-letter word*.” Going from first to fifth gear in seconds, things start off very, very bleak in Jerrod Carmichael’s feature directorial debut. You might think you know where this story...
‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ is a Horrifying Trip that Breathes Fresh Air in the MCU (Review)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off all the way back in 2008. We have been waiting years, but there is finally a horror movie in the universe. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may not be a full-blown terrifying film, but there are numerous horror...
‘The Northman’ is a Solid and Straightforward yet Brutal and Beguiling Depiction of Norse Legend (Review)
Writer-director Robert Eggers became a filmmaking auteur to watch following the one-two punch of terrifying mind-benders The Witch and The Lighthouse in 2016 and 2019, and his latest, The Northman, happens to be his first film outside the artsy confines of A24....
‘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....
‘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...
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...
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,...
‘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,...
‘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...
