Review: The Munsters
When I heard Rob Zombie was making a big screen adaptation of The Munsters, I, like probably everyone, thought, “Why would he make this?” Then I saw the trailer, which was quite ghastly, and I thought, “Why would he make this?” Now, I have seen the movie for myself, and I have to ask: Why […]

Review: Bros
Nicholas Stoller’s Bros feels like the first studio comedy in a long time. If it isn’t, well, it’s definitely the first LGBTQ+ romcom to be made for a major studio, and it’s kind of crazy that it took us this long to get here. It’s a major bummer that audiences didn’t really flock to it […]

Review: Don’t Worry Darling
Florence Pugh, what a doll. She’s had my attention since Lady Macbeth, but she had my full investment after the triple threat of Fighting With My Family, Midsommar, and Little Women in 2019 (the latter of which nabbed her an Oscar nomination, and hopefully not the last). Now she’s doing the Marvel thing, and it […]

Review: Moonage Daydream
I hardly ever talk music on here, but I’m a big David Bowie guy. David Bowie the actor is pretty good (I’ll of course always have a soft-spot for Labyrinth, and he took a lot of interesting swings); David Bowie the musician is transcendent. Peculiar, weird, and proudly androgynous, the David Bowie persona is about […]

Review: Clerks III
Kevin Smith is an interesting filmmaker. I like some, love some, and loathe some, but he’s at least always trying something, whether it be in his wheelhouse or something new. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t. That about describes the experience of his latest, Clerks III. The movie is sometimes hilarious, but sometimes Smith […]

Review: Pearl
I have yacked on a lot about Ti West’s X, which was released this past March. I had a great time at it, and it’s among my favorites of the year. When West was doing the press for this movie, he revealed (and if you stayed past the end credits, it revealed) that immediately after […]

Review: Barbarian
Hell yeah. If you haven’t noticed, movie theatres are going through a little bit of a drought. The highest grossing movies last weekend were Top Gun: Maverick (released last May) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (released last December). Great movies, but whew, that’s tough. Well, there’s been a bit of buzz surrounding this weekend’s Barbarian, […]

Review: Pinocchio (2022)
You know, it’s really tough to witness someone you love and respect go down the wrong path. I could equate that statement to people in my personal life, but in this case I’m talking about Academy Award winner Robert Zemeckis. He’s made a number of movies that I love, but for the last few years, […]

Review: Beast
You pretty much know what movie you’re getting into when you see something like Beast. You expect something pretty thin and maybe unremarkable, but you at least hope to have some sort of a good time. Beast is pretty thin, but at least they don’t really go much past the 90 minute mark. The problem […]

Review: Three Thousand Years of Longing
Three thousand years? That’s uh… that’s a lot of longing. George Miller, the Academy Award winning visionary behind Happy Feet and The Witches of Eastwick returns with his first film since Mad Max: Fury Road, Three Thousand Years of Longing. Chances are, you’ll hear that title and your eyebrows will raise. Chances are, your eyebrows […]
