IS THIS THING ON? MOVIE REVIEW Comedy can be good for a lot of things but personal healing is not one you hear as much about. Writer/Director Bradley Cooper offers this year in an unusually low-key release his take on the subject, Is This Thing On? Loosely inspired by the life of British comedian John […]

ANACONDA MOVIE REVIEW If you’ve ever seen the 1997 horror film Anaconda starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Owen Wilson, and Eric Stoltz, you know that it’s not exactly a masterpiece of the genre. And yet, it stubbornly exudes a weird cultural fascination that only comes with movies that are very bad yet oddly […]

SONG SUNG BLUE It’s Christmas time so you can expect a few things: people acting like Mariah Carey is some horror movie villain, reconsiderations of the Grinch as a powerful anti-capitalist figure unjustifiably bullied by a bunch of yokels, and lately Hugh Jackman playing a singing role in a film. Song Sung Blue tells the […]

THE HOUSEMAID MOVIE REVIEW Ready for some trashy Paul Feig twisty silliness? The Housemaid is one of those films that you’re either going to be with its over-the-top, elevated Lifetime movie dramatics as super fun, or totally bored by it. Sydney Sweeney plays Millie, a desperate woman with a troubled past who is sleeping in […]

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH MOVIE REVIEW James Cameron has constantly been pushing the needle throughout his career in terms of visual F/X. If there’s a new Cameron movie, you can be sure you’re going to see some digital work that is the newest and shiniest thing out there. With the third in his Avatar series, […]

ELLA MCCAY MOVIE REVIEW Writer/Director/Sitcom creating legend James L. Brooks is back with his first feature film in fifteen years with Ella McCay.

DIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 366: DOCTOR LORD SIR JOHN GHOLSON ON HOME RELEASES Ok, before you do anything else, go buy the movie Man Finds Tape which is available right now on VOD.

HAMNET MOVIE REVIEW It’s important to remember when looking at biopics about real people that we actually know very little about, that being queeny about the historical details is entirely besides the fact. Guarantee that director Chloé Zhao knew that when she signed up to make the film Hamnet and it was never intended to […]

KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR MOVIE REVIEW Quentin Tarantino’s tribute to all his favorite geeky things Kill Bill Volume 1 originally came out in theaters in 2003, with Volume 2 following in 2004.

MARTY SUPREME MOVIE REVIEW The Safdie brothers appear to have, for now, split up their teamwork.

The film stars Timothée Chalamet […]

PREDATOR: BADLANDS MOVIE REVIEW Director/writer Dan Trachtenberg gets his third go-round helming a Predator film (definitely watch Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers).

DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE MOVIE REVIEW There are few American musicians more iconic and more blue-collar than Bruce Springsteen. Despite huge swaths of choads not actually listening to the words to Born in the USA and using it as a right-wing rallying cry, Bruce has firmly always been a poet of the people. What director […]

FRANKENSTEIN MOVIE REVIEW It’s officially getting into that end of the year Oscar qualifying season and you know what that means: elevated horror directors put out their own remakes of classic monster movies time.
