KARATE KID: LEGENDS MOVIE REVIEW In the latest chapter of ‘no once-successful IP will ever die’ Karate Kid: Legends marks the sixth film in the franchise. Moving the action at first to Beijing, the film centers on Li Fong (Ben Wang) a teenager training with his great-uncle and shifu of a successful school, Mr. Han […]

THE SURRENDER MOVIE REVIEW If the Conjuring series has taught major studios anything, it’s that the best time to release a scary film is summer time. In The Surrender,  Megan (Colby Minifie) has returned home but not under the best circumstances. Her father Robert (Vaughn Armstrong) has one foot in the grave and the other […]

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING MOVIE REVIEW It is truly a triumph that the Mission Impossible film franchise has lasted for nearly 30 years with almost no weak entries. It’s a testament to Tom Cruise’s sheer dedication that he has steadily brought audiences some of the best entertainment that movies can offer. Cruise is […]

BRING HER BACK MOVIE REVIEW The Philippou brothers, who brought us one of the biggest horror surprises of 2023 with their debut film Talk to Me, return with a considerably more sinister and mature second film. Bring Her Back follows step-siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and his mostly blind sister Piper (Sora Wong). Their father suddenly […]

CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD MOVIE REVIEW A clown? In MY cornfield? It could happen to you. Is your small town kept barely functional by the existence of a corn syrup manufacturing plant with a clown as the logo? Did that plant recently burn down and it at least appears that some local troublesome kids were […]

FRIENDSHIP MOVIE REVIEW So, this is why men shouldn’t have friends. Friendship is the new film by Andrew DeYoung starring the ever chaotic Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd in an absurdist comedy that delves into the nightmare territory of a metaphorical (and occasionally literal) sandbox and just let them weird each other out for 90 […]

FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES REVIEW 2025 is surprisingly turning out to be a big year for horror, and while returns to franchises that haven’t had a new entry in well over a decade certainly hasn’t consistently had gold results, we always hold out hope that a formerly great series can regain its glory once more. We […]

THUNDERBOLTS* MOVIE REVIEW The final film of Marvel’s Phase 5 (is anyone keeping track anymore) follows a group of d-listers gathered together reluctantly because of forces arrayed against all of them. No, this isn’t The Suicide Squad, it’s Thunderbolts*. Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) is our central character and first point of contact, as we watch […]

THE SHROUDS MOVIE REVIEW David Cronenberg does not make normal movies. This is a given. But the question always is going into one, what KIND of abnormal is this gonna be? With The Shrouds, Cronenberg directs one of his most personal films, perhaps a conduit for his grief after the death of his wife. Vincent […]

THE LEGEND OF OCHI MOVIE REVIEW While A24’s latest release The Legend of Ochi may be a film directed at children, the review Chris, Wright, and Marco did for it is decidedly not (despite Marco’s best efforts to keep it on track). While discussing this little injured cryptid creature the film centers around, it was […]
