It’s been four years since we last saw our favorite Marvel misfits grace theater screens in their own movie. Anticipation for their return couldn’t be higher, especially when you consider all the roadblocks the third Guardians of the Galaxy entry has already faced. Writer/director James Gunn was fired in 2018 by Disney for decade-old offensive […]

Tony and Ridley Scott are two of the most successful directors in Hollywood history. They are each responsible for numerous bona fide classics. The England-born brothers share many other similarities, but they also have just as many stark contrasts that make them stand entirely on their own. The Scott brothers were both trained as visual […]

Glass is the completion of M. Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy that also consists of 2000’s Unbreakable and 2016’s Split. While Glass’ screenplay suffers from a number of contrivances that easily could have been fixed, Shyamalan’s execution still manages to make the film an overall success. Bruce Willis is underused (most likely for budgetary reasons) as […]

Zack Snyder is a great filmmaker who has yet to make his definitive masterpiece. He perhaps never will. He may very well be destined to create flawed, overstuffed, obsessively and minutely detailed, innovative-to-the-point-of-being-distracting, and overwhelmingly bold movies for the rest of his career. And, if appearances are not deceiving, that should suit him and his […]

Above Suspicion Director Phillip Noyce returns to full form with this marvelously crafted, reality-based, and character-driven thriller. Feeling like it should have been made in a previous decade, Above Suspicion is the kind of intelligent and adult-oriented movie we don’t see enough of, anymore. The revelatory and provocative film hits all the right notes and […]

Angela Bettis stars as a nurse who makes extra money by illegally selling organs, and her schemes eventually catch up with her during the course of one extremely unlucky evening. Unpredictable and chaotic, […]

2020 changed everything. It was a nightmare of a year for reasons we already know quite well. The Covid-19 virus propelled us into a realm of science fiction and horror, and no movie could ever match the reality we’ve all lived for the better part of this horrendous year. Every business has been affected in […]

If there were ever a cinematic equivalent to getting punched in the gut, it’s The Devil All the Time. The breathtaking and paralyzing film puts its characters through many harrowing ordeals, and they just keep getting darker and more dangerous with each new entry. When you think it couldn’t get any worse, The Devil All […]

It’s hard to say what, exactly, is going on in Charlie Kaufman’s new movie, I’m Thinking of Ending Things. There is no definitive conclusion to come to other than there is no definitive conclusion to come to. It’s simply not supposed to fully make sense. One could argue, however, that it does provide just enough […]

A young couple (Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots) is looking for the perfect home. A strange real estate agent (Jonathan Aris) takes them to the surreal subdivision, Yonder, where all the houses are literally identical. While inspecting one of the modest homes, the agent disappears and leaves the couple alone in the otherwise vacant neighborhood. […]
