One clear winner this week, though two others are definitely worth your time. Heretic Heretic is the prototypical 2024 horror movie – a very straightforward psychological thriller with a simple premise that doesn’t overreach until the overly ambitious and inevitably unsatisfying conclusion. It doesn’t break new ground but it doesn’t fuck up the basics either.Continue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: Heretic / Juror #2 / It’s What’s Inside / Blink Twice / My Old Ass / Red Rooms”

2024 Movie Reviews: Anora & Conclave
Two great films this week. Anora One thing you can never say about indie filmmaker Sean Baker is that he’s boring. His films, while having varying degrees of quality, never fail to hold your attention. In 2015, Baker exploded onto the screen with his debut feature, Tangerine, which stood out for casting a lot of non-actors in bit parts,Continue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: Anora & Conclave”
2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Smile 2 / Megalopolis / Industry / Rumours / A Different Man / Mr. McMahon / V/H/S Beyond
A lot of stuff this week. Smile 2 2024 has been a disheartening year for horror films. Only a few have been good, and only one has been great. That’s why I had absolutely zero expectations when I went into Smile 2. I was very lukewarm on the first one, finding it too campy to beContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Smile 2 / Megalopolis / Industry / Rumours / A Different Man / Mr. McMahon / V/H/S Beyond”

2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Hacks / The Sympathizer / In A Violent Nature / Movie Pass Movie Crash
Hacks One of the best comedy series of the past ten years is finally back for a third season, and while it doesn’t quite reach the heights of its near-perfect first and second seasons, it’s a lot funnier than anything on television right now. When we last left, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava DanielsContinue reading “2024 TV & Movie Reviews: Hacks / The Sympathizer / In A Violent Nature / Movie Pass Movie Crash”

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”
