Good on Paper is the based-on-true-events non-romcom comedy written by and starring Iliza Shlesinger.

The 2018 sci fi thriller Freaks works on the same premise as the X-Men, people with superpowers who are feared and shunned, but without the costumes and crime fighting.

2016's Midnight Run is about a child kidnapped from the religious community where he's being raised, or is it about something else?

I ended up screening several of Jessica Chastain's films all within a few weeks of each other and it's been interesting watching how a clearly talented actor changes her performance depending on the script and director.

It's fun and healthy to occasionally review a movie that's just awful, like 2015's admirably incompetent Into the Grizzly Maze.

Charlie Kaufman's films may look like traditional Hollywood films, but they are never simple and often make for a prickly, challenging experience.

Quarantine enabled to me to catch up on a few critical darlings I missed. One such film that I found lived up to the hype was Mike Mills' 2016 comedy-drama 20th Century Women.

One of my favorite unexpected discoveries from quarantine movie watching is 2016's tiny independent film Blue Jay.

I love just about everything there is to love about Amy Poehler except, sadly, her inability to make films that aren't bad.

This 2017 film starts out in a straightforward, even mundane, fashion, but accelerates into darker and more absurd territory as it goes along.
