As we've...

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a burst of pure adrenaline that goes off-the-walls crazy with unbelievable practical stunts and a truly triumphant character. At 80-years-old director George Miller is still achieving the impossible as he delights audiences to wasteland battles that baffle and dazzle in equal measure. The creative endeavour behind crafting these incredible war machines is nothing short o...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes continues the story of Caesar's legacy generations later in a fascinating new tale populated with incredible new characters. As the simian flu rages on leaving the few humans left largely unable to speak, the Apes only continue to grow in their intelligence and their numbers, spreading out across the country and breaking off into different factions. When a young E...

Based on a true story inspired by an incredible Texas Monthly article, Hit Man follows Powell's banal college professor as he works sting operations for the Orland Police on the side. Working to uncover those that would put out a hit on loved ones...

As the Jedi grow comfortable with their positions of power and influence, a dark magic brews behind the scenes and sets forth a mystery after a respected Jedi Master is murdered in cold blood. Heavily influenced by the world building of the Clone Wars TV ser...

The Seattle International Film Festival finishes up its 50th Anniversary this year and I've had the privilege of being a member of the reviewing press this time around. As the festival winds down I wanted to share my remaining capsule reviews in order to highlight some of the best films of the festival and some films that deserve some spotlight! Take a look at SIFF.net and explore one of the best...

Resynator is the documentary feature which won the audience award at the 2024 SXSW film festival and now it's captivating audiences at the 2024 Seattle International Film Festival. A story about a young woman finding the Synthesiser her father built 25 years prior, director Alison Tavel explores the man behind the machine as she interviews his friends and family in hopes of discovering who he real...

Bob Trevino Likes It won the audience award at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival and after having a chance to see it at SIFF 2024 I can completely understand how it captured the hearts and minds of the audiences. It's a beautiful look at a young woman who's real father abandons her and the friendship she creates with a kindhearted man who shares her father's name on Facebook. Inspired by writer/director...

For SIFF 2024 I had the esteemed pleasure of getting to interview Chasing Time co-directors Jeff Orlowski-Yang and Sarah Keo. A 40-minute documentary short that serves as a companion piece to Orlowski-Yang's 2012 film Chasing Ice , Chasing Time examines the data behind the melting of glaciers worldwide and reunites Orlowski-Yang with Jame Balog, the founder of the Extreme Ice Survey. Equal parts b...

Thelma was the opening night film for the 50th Anniversary of the Seattle International Film Festival. A film about a grandmother who gets scammed and goes on independent ops to get her money back, Thelma touches on the way we view age and how it's okay to be vulnerable when asking for help. I had the great privilege of sitting down with Director and Writer Josh Margolin, as well as stars June Squ...

The Fall Guy makes for a lovely and entertaining romantic comedy, but it fails to achieve its full potential as a stunt work showcase for Hollywood’s unsung action heroes. For months now, many in the film and online community have heralded The Fall Guy as a love letter to the old action films Hollywood used to make and they’ve claimed that it honors the men and women who beat their bodies up to ma...

Led by an incredible trio of talented performers, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers delivers a steamy look at a unique love triangle built on competition and friendship. Setting a story of love, betrayal, and rivalry against the backdrop of professional tennis made for a rather entertaining time as energy and tension was rallied back and forth. With a non-linear approach to the story, Challengers teas...

Boy Kills World is a rowdy and ridiculously great action comedy that genuinely excites with some unbelievable fight choreography. Though it’s not technically based on any previous works, this film is littered with influence from pop culture hits and knows how to adapt without ever seeming like imitation. To stand out from the crowd, the violence is taken to another level as brutal video game comba...

Arcadian is a touching and entertaining family survival story set at the end of the world where terrifying creatures rule the night. As we often see during the end of the world, civilization and morality collapse as any remaining survivors fight to protect what little they have to keep themselves alive. When you’re protecting a family, the stakes are even higher as managing more than one person al...

Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver is an overall improvement upon the first entry that delivers more by way of emotion, action, and visuals. While I’m ecstatic to finally have the second half of Snyder’s story available, I won’t deny that it still only feels like part of something larger. In the weeks leading up to The Scargiver ’s release, Zack Snyder has talked at length about the R-Rated, thr...

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a non-stop bloody action fest that combines outrageous laughter and unearthed historical context to create a Nazi-killing grand time! As is often the case when military and government records become unsealed, there’s tons of chatter online as people parse through documents to get to something juicy. Winston Churchill taking on a Nick Fury role (a la assembl...

The Greatest Hits explores both the sadness and the joy in the ability for music to transport people back to specific places in time. I’m certain everyone has experienced the phenomenon of putting on a song they love and feeling, if only for a moment, that they were back in time when they first heard it. Bringing a new dynamic to time-travel, The Greatest Hits takes things a step further and quest...

Wicked Little Letters is a wickedly funny film that’s full of tons of heart and raunchy remarks to last you a lifetime. It’s only fitting that a posh and proper little town be the subject of lewd and sexual letters that send everyone into a panic. I’m not sure why it’s so satisfying watching prissy people react to offensive language, but here it’s handled so well and is even influenced by actual h...

Sasquatch Sunset is an utterly bizarre slice of life film that closely observes a band of eclectic Sasquatch through a year in their messy and simple lives. Straight from the mind of someone who just took too many edibles comes a feature film from brothers David and Nathan Zellner that completely challenges the audience on every level. It’s exactly the kind of art-house indie filmmaking you expect...

Civil War is an unflinching and unapologetic look at human nature and how the lines of politics and morals become blurred when people are left to fend for their own survival. I have zero doubts that this will be the most divisive film of 2024 for a plethora of reasons, most surrounding the fact that it’s uncomfortable to watch and might strike too close to home for American audiences. In a country...

Femme is a frightening and forceful look at revenge through the eyes of a young gay drag artist who's brutally attacked by a closeted homophobic psychopath. Leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination, this film never shies away from showcasing all the beauty and the horror associated with identifying as LGBTQ+. What we're witnessing here is a fictious depiction of the kind of violence and threa...
