Highly Suspect Reviews

THE LONG WALK MOVIE REVIEW Based on the first novel Stephen King ever wrote, although not the first published (later released under the pseudonym Richard Bachman) The Long Walk has had many attempts to bring it to the screen. But it’s a challenge: The Long Walk is a conversation film interrupted by occasional brutal killings. […]

CAUGHT STEALING MOVIE REVIEW Director/writer Darren Aronofsky is known for making really intense and usually very surreal films, like Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, and Mother!. Sometimes he chills a bit to focus on telling a great character based story like in The Wrestler. Caught Stealing is a bit of an oddball choice for […]

HONEY DON’T MOVIE REVIEW Ethan Coen and his wife and co-writer Tricia Cooke return with the second in their Lesbian B-Movie Trilogy (after Drive-Away Dolls), Honey Don’t. Again, Margaret Qualley is their lead, this time playing Honey O’Donahue, a gumshoe in the sun-bleached town of Bakersfield California. The useless police detective Marty (Charlie Day) who […]

NOBODY 2 MOVIE REVIEW Just give us the Bob Odenkirk & David Cross action team-up already! The team that brought you John Wick and The Fall Guy are back with their follow up to their hit actioner Nobody starring Bob Odenkirk. After the events of the first film, Hutch (Odenkirk) constantly finds himself on high […]

FREAKIER FRIDAY MOVIE REVIEW If you want a seriously freaky friday this weekend, you should probably go see Weapons. But, if you’re looking for a retread of the 2003 film with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan only now with more folks switching bodies, well, there’s Freakier Friday. Anna (Lohan) is now a music producer […]

WEAPONS MOVIE REVIEW Weapons has one of the most intriguing premises in recent memory. At 2:17am in Maybrook, seventeen children in the same class leave their homes and vanish in the middle of the night. Not only does Zach Cregger’s newest film sets up the audience for a mysterious and haunting story, but then reveals […]

THE NAKED GUN MOVIE REVIEW There’s a handful at best of good absurdist spoof comedies after the early reign of the Zucker/Abrahams films (Airplane, Airplane 2, Top Secret, The Naked Gun series). There’s a LOT of terrible ones. So, the relaunch of the beloved Naked Gun series without the involvement of the original team, and […]

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS MOVIE REVIEW In what seems to be fantasy wish fulfillment for fans who’ve been saying what they ACTUALLY want from a Fantastic Four movie, the MCU finally gets into the game with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Set on a parallel retro-futuristic Earth (don’t expect any ties to the current […]

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER MOVIE REVIEW With the Scream franchise on temporary (but probably not VERY temporary) hiatus, Hollywood in their quest for continuing the trend of 90s nostalgia is forced to turn to some of the not-even-as-close-to-as-good horror franchises of the time. Naturally, you’d first go to the one by the […]

EDDINGTON MOVIE REVIEW No matter how much some of us may want it, Ari Aster seems to be done with horror for now. He certainly isn’t done with horrifying though. His latest film Eddington reteams him with Joaquin Phoenix, this time playing Joe Cross, the sheriff of the titular small town in New Mexico. When […]
