THE RUNNING MAN MOVIE REVIEW The Stephen King adaptations won’t stop coming of late and we’ve gotten some pretty good ones like The Life of Chuck and The Long Walk. Now, Paramount is going back to the well with The Running Man, which had a somewhat successful 1987 adaptation as an Schwarzenegger film. Problem with […]

SORRY, BABY MOVIE REVIEW Most films that deal with overcoming trauma do it either as it being represented as a growing black gulf of evil (see at least half the horror films made in the last 5-10 years), or with a good deal of saccharine. The debut film from writer/director/star Eva Victor is something new. […]

THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME MOVIE REVIEW The thing about Wes Anderson films is, you’re either here for all of them, no matter what, or maybe just a few (probably early ones). His 2025 entry, The Phoenician Scheme, features (as usual) a metric ton of actors, many of them legendary. But the story tightly focuses on only […]

THE BALLAD OF WALLACE ISLAND MOVIE REVIEW Imagine you had more money than you knew what to do with that came upon you like unexpected manna from heaven. After you had traveled the world, bought your perfect house on your perfect island, what then? If you’re Charles (Tim Key) you make an offer to your […]

BLACK BAG MOVIE REVIEW Who knew after Steven Soderbergh’s retirement back in 2017 that he would ultimately make another fifteen feature films? We all did. Now with his 40th film, Black Bag is a return to sexy form for Soderbergh with an all star cast. Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett play husband & wife spies […]

NOVOCAINE MOVIE REVIEW Full disclosure: This was our first experience seeing a film in 4DX, which are, as Beau puts it, massage chairs that kick the crap out of you. Some of us loved the experience. Some of us had to gag a few times. But either way, it definitely affected our experience of watching […]

MICKEY 17 MOVIE REVIEW A new science fiction dystopian satire with Robert Pattinson playing dual roles and with Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette as exaggeratedly evil bad guys is alone enough to sell one on being excited for the new film Mickey 17. When you see it’s the latest film by the legendary four-time Oscar […]

MEMOIR OF A SNAIL MOVIE REVIEW There are some filmmakers out there that appear to have an agenda to make the audience feel utter despair and sadness. Much like his previous film Mary & Max, Adam Elliot’s newest picture, Memoir of a Snail, drives home how truly terrible it can be to just exist in […]

Folie à Deux Movie Review The Clown Prince of Crime has taken on Batman, the Justice League, and the Gotham Police time and time again, but his newest foe…musicals? Joaquin Phoenix is back in his Oscar winning performance as Arthur Fleck in Joker: Folie a Deux. Todd Phillips’ approach to the 2019 film was an […]

LOVE LIES BLEEDING MOVIE REVIEW Rose Glass, the director of the hit psychological horror film Saint Maud, has turned her gaze to film noir, albeit in a tangentially Cronenbergian fashion, with her second film Love Lies Bleeding, and trust us, this is no sophomore slump. Set in 1989, a gym manager named Lou (Kristen Stewart) […]
