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 […]

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH MOVIE REVIEW Seven of these Jurassic movies now. SEVEN. The hope was that after the terrible (but, of course, financially lucrative) last three entries, this new creative team led by director Gareth Edwards (who knows a thing or two about giant monsters) would rediscover what made that first Jurassic Park movie so […]

28 YEARS LATER MOVIE REVIEW With 28 Days Later‘s explosive success, Danny Boyle’s Oscar win with Slumdog Millionaire, and Alex Garland’s own film career, it’s not entirely surprising to see these filmmakers go back to the zombie well. 28 Years Later is the third film in the horror franchise and you guessed it, takes 28 […]

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 […]

A WORKING MAN REVIEW Say what you will about this new found collaboration between David Ayer and Jason Statham, but they really know how to turn b-movie action plots into ridiculous and eccentric flicks. Jason Statham stars as Levon Cade who works as a foreman on a construction site run by mild mannered Michael Pena. […]

SEPTEMBER 5 MOVIE REVIEW On September 5, 1972 in Munich Germany, the televised world-wide Summer Olympics was ground zero for a terrorist attack known as the Munich Massacre. Writer/Director Tim Fehlbaum with co-writers Moritz Bender and Alex David blend together real news footage with an sizable ensemble cast. The film tackles the ABC sports news […]

THE BRUTALIST MOVIE REVIEW Who knew a nearly 4 hour sweeping historical epic could move at a breakneck pace? Brady Corbet’s newest feature, The Brutalist, achieves that in spades and very well could be one of the best films of the year. Adrien Brody stars as László Tóth, a Hungarian holocaust survivor emigrating to America […]

NOSFERATU MOVIE REVIEW Nothing says “Merry Christmas” quite like a prestige horror film. Robert Eggers is back and has delivered his 4th feature film with his version of the classic, Nosferatu . Bill Skarsgård stars as the titular vampire whose shadow looms over the picture like a cold blanket while Lily-Rose Depp stars as Ellen […]

JUROR #2 MOVIE REVIEW Whenever a jury duty summons comes in, I’m annoyed, aren’t we all, but definitely not mad about it either. However, if I received this notice while my wife was enduring a second pregnancy in the third trimester, I’d be quite angry. Enter our protagonist Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult). A recovering alcoholic, […]

MEGALOPOLIS MOVIE REVIEW Once heralded as one of the most gifted filmmakers of all time, Francis Ford Coppola has finally achieved his nearly 40 year dream in releasing his epic vision, Megalopolis. The film is jam packed full of incredible actors and some problematic ones. It is led by Adam Driver who plays Cesar Catilina, […]

MY OLD ASS MOVIE REVIEW Elliott (Maisy Stella) has grown up in a beautiful lakeside town with her family, who grow cranberries there for a living. While there had been some expectation that she would continue on in the family business at some point, she has since made clear that she has no interest. Soon […]

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE MOVIE REVIEW After many, many, MANY, many many attempts to get a sequel to 1988’s smash cult hit Beetlejuice off the ground, Tim Burton finally got somebody to pony up the dough all these decades later. Everyone is back (except for Jeffrey Jones because of…well, look it up) and it’s a family reunion […]

TWISTERS MOVIE REVIEW In this age of rapidly changing weather, as disasters begin to significantly increase, it’s par for the course for Hollywood to parallel it with action films. So let’s resurrect a film from 1996, beloved by some, make it plural, and largely have no other connection to the original. It’s Twisters and now […]

MAXXXINE MOVIE REVIEW Even if you’re not a fan of the films, you’ve got to hand it to director/writer Ti West: no one has ever made a horror trilogy in the fashion that the X series is constructed. Each one distinctively different in style, and believe me, style is in charge here, but ultimately with […]
