Disappointments and surprises this week. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Theaters are likely going away, at least how we’ve known them for the past 100+ years. Streaming is here, and everyone has a big T.V., so even though we can’t replicate the theater experience exactly in our homes, we can come close. This means studiosContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga / Baby Reindeer / I Saw the TV Glow / Snack Shack / Conan Must Go / The Contestant”

Top 100 Films of 2000s: Part 5 (#60-51)
Around the time I started this site, I did a “Top 100 of the 1990s” with the intention of doing a new decade every year. I had meant to do a new decade every year, but as with life, stuff came up. I got overwhelmed by my primary responsibilities on this site: reviewing new filmContinue reading “Top 100 Films of 2000s: Part 5 (#60-51)”
2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Fallout / Challengers / Shōgun / Chucky / Drive Away Dolls / Saw X
Mostly great stuff this week. Fallout “Based on a video game” used to be the worst thing you could ever hear about a movie. Resident Evil, Silent Hill, House of the Dead, Street Fighter, Doom, Max Payne, any Uwe Boll adaptation—all terrible. The live-action Mortal Kombat movie from 1995 is very fun to watch, but its sequel, Annihilation, is a strong contender for one ofContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Fallout / Challengers / Shōgun / Chucky / Drive Away Dolls / Saw X”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Civil War / The First Omen / Curb Your Enthusiasm / Regime / Ripley
Only one stinker this week. Civil War My first thought after leaving the theater showing Civil War was, “I wonder how this movie will fare in 10 years?” I have a sneaking suspicion it will all but mostly be forgotten about. This isn’t to say Alex Garland (Men, Annihilation, Ex-Machina) has made a bad film because he hasn’t. He’sContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Civil War / The First Omen / Curb Your Enthusiasm / Regime / Ripley”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Monkey Man / Immaculate / Road House / The Truth vs Alex Jones / The Program / You’ll Never Find Me
Nothing is particularly great this week. Monkey Man If there was ever a ‘kitchen sink’ movie, it’s Monkey Man, the debut feature of underrated young actor-turned-writer/director/producer Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, The Green Knight, Lion). While it often feels like fourteen different movies starting and stopping throughout a 113-minute runtime, it’s more or less a hyper-stylized revenge tale. When aContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Monkey Man / Immaculate / Road House / The Truth vs Alex Jones / The Program / You’ll Never Find Me”

2024 TV & Film Reviews: Love Lies Bleeding / Late Night with the Devil / Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV / Monster
Everything good this week. Love Lies Bleeding 2020 was a barren wasteland for movies and even some of its best films wouldn’t even rank for me in other years. Obviously this was all because of Covid, so it’s no big mystery why this was arguably the weakest year in cinema history. Still, there was aContinue reading “2024 TV & Film Reviews: Love Lies Bleeding / Late Night with the Devil / Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV / Monster”
