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”

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 Movie Reviews: All of Us Strangers / Night Swim / They Cloned Tyrone
One clear loser this week. All of Us Strangers One film that needs more awards and audience attention is Andrew Haigh‘s All of Us Strangers, arguably the exceptional British auteur’s best. Perhaps it’s because every Oscar movie this season is big and loud with a capital L – Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, etc. Not to mentionContinue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: All of Us Strangers / Night Swim / They Cloned Tyrone”
2024 Movie Reviews: Ferrari / American Fiction / Birth/Rebirth / The Outwaters
Three hits and a surprising miss. Ferrari One of my most anticipated movies this Oscar season was Michael Mann‘s return to filmmaking after eight long years, Ferrari, a picture he’s been trying to make for decades. I had heard it was an amusing throwback to 90s and 80s historical dramas set outside the U.S. that cast AmericanContinue reading “2024 Movie Reviews: Ferrari / American Fiction / Birth/Rebirth / The Outwaters”
PUNISH YOURSELF WITH THESE AWFUL HORROR MOVIES
Shut up. You deserve it. I. Werewolves, Vampires and Incestuous Shape Shifters The Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf (1985) Also known by its alternate title Howling II: Stirba – Werewolf Bitch is a perplexingly awful follow-up to an already bad werwolf hit, The Howling. It retcons a bunch of a plot elements, takesContinue reading “PUNISH YOURSELF WITH THESE AWFUL HORROR MOVIES”
