CHAD POWERS SERIES REVIEW Its the 4th quarter with the clock ticking and the game on the line in front of a sea of fans and that one person in the stands that matters more than anything. Lesser men would crumble under the pressure and the moment calls for a true hero. Unfortunately, that’s not […]

SENTIMENTAL VALUE MOVIE REVIEW After his critical success from 2021’s The Worst Person in the World, Joachim Trier’s new film Sentimental Value dives right back into the complex “feels” pool. The film follows Nora (Renate Reinsve) and her deeply fraught relationship with her father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), who is a celebrated film director on his […]

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). This time he gets a theatrical release, like his previous two should have, and again he finds a way to tell a story very different from your traditional Predator film entry. Dek […]

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. I mean, lately. This year it’s Guillermo del Toro’s turn and he dives into the Mary Shelley creation that he’s spent […]

BLACK PHONE 2 MOVIE REVIEW Based on a Joe Hill short story, 2021’s The Black Phone was a surprise late-pandemic success, a modestly budgeted supernatural horror film that found a sizable audience despite not having any big stars, or recognizable IP. With success comes expectations – and sequels – so director Scott Derrickson and frequent […]

TRON:ARES MOVIE REVIEW Has it really been FIFTEEN years since Tron: Legacy? Disney has been trying to get a third Tron film up off the ground ever since Legacy with multiple stumbling blocks, including the cast of that film being unwilling to return for a third. So of course they go to everyone’s favorite leading […]

SHELBY OAKS MOVIE REVIEW A popular online video series of paranormal haunt investigators turns into a huge mystery when after going to investigate an abandoned town, Shelby Oaks, all four members of the cast go missing. The case drags on for years and years until only the sister of one of them still is determined […]

HIM MOVIE REVIEW First, you need to be clear: despite the deceptive marketing, Him is not directed or written by Jordan Peele. It’s coming out under his production label and that’s it. Second: football is America’s #1 religion. At least, it certainly seems that way. Third: Him wants that to be scary. The story follows […]

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 […]

THE NAKED GUN MOVIE REVIEW There’s a handful at best of good absurdist spoof comedies after the early reign of the Zucker/Abrahams films (Airplane, Airplane 2, Top Secret, The Naked Gun series). There’s a LOT of terrible ones. So, the relaunch of the beloved Naked Gun series without the involvement of the original team, and […]

THE BEAR – SEASON 4 REVIEW The kitchen is open, the countdown is ticking, and the heat has never been higher. After last season’s rocky launch of The Bear, the dream is still alive—but barely. Uncle Jimmy’s slapped a ticking clock on the whole operation, Sydney’s eyeing the exit, and Ritchie’s trying to plate leadership […]

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER MOVIE REVIEW With the Scream franchise on temporary (but probably not VERY temporary) hiatus, Hollywood in their quest for continuing the trend of 90s nostalgia is forced to turn to some of the not-even-as-close-to-as-good horror franchises of the time. Naturally, you’d first go to the one by the […]

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 […]

THE REHEARSAL SEASON 2 TV REVIEW Once in a great while, a hero emerges from the shadows and shows the world that nothing is impossible. All it takes is…a little rehearsing.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING MOVIE REVIEW It is truly a triumph that the Mission Impossible film franchise has lasted for nearly 30 years with almost no weak entries.

FRIENDSHIP MOVIE REVIEW So, this is why men shouldn’t have friends. Friendship is the new film by Andrew DeYoung starring the ever chaotic Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd in an absurdist comedy that delves into the nightmare territory of a metaphorical (and occasionally literal) sandbox and just let them weird each other out for 90 […]

FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES REVIEW 2025 is surprisingly turning out to be a big year for horror, and while returns to franchises that haven’t had a new entry in well over a decade certainly hasn’t consistently had gold results, we always hold out hope that a formerly great series can regain its glory once more. We […]
