I would almost recommend watching the new Hellboy reboot for the same reasons I would Jupiter Ascending.

Having watched Hellboy this weekend, the extremely poor reviews feel a bit vindictive.

I’m keeping things light in this review for the reason that I want you, dear reader, to be surprised by the many twists and turns of Dragged Across Concrete.

For fans of King, or fans of genre horror, there may be enough standard thrills and chills to enjoy the new Pet Sematary.

SHAZAM! is a big, fun flick that should serve to give us all hope for the future of the DCEU.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Depraved, is that it in no real way attempts to live up to the salaciousness of its title.

Us is another tour de force in tonal horror that has a core of social commentary running through it.

Us is more a straight horror film and has plenty of excellent, terrifying, and smartly directed scenes to make an audience squirm in their seat.

What Destroyer almost does, but doesn't quite, is use the flashback as a parallel narrative.

Captain Marvel is missing a larger sense of vision and purpose, which is why it feels more like a throwback to those early days.

On the whole though, Captain Marvel is a very strong addition to the superhero genre.

The visual feast that this movie provides doesn’t stop with the sets, though.

This visual decadence of Battle Angel is the greatest reason to see it, especially on the big screen if able.

They Shall Not Grow Old is a painstaking restoration of footage from World War One to create a documentary that is without politics or propaganda.

To work, Velvet Buzzsaw needed to be 50% wilder and out of control.

Polar is such a thoroughly unpleasant film experience I was wondering if Lars von Trier had somehow made a comic book movie.

So, what are we to make of Steven Knight’s newest film, Serenity?

Just two years later, we now have the arrival of Glass, which works simultaneously as a sequel to both Unbreakable and Split.

Bird Box isn’t a movie worth strong feelings, good or bad.

Pop (2018), written and directed by J. Spencer, packs witty social commentary, grotesque special effects, and memorable scenes into a short 15-minute film.
