Palm Springs is a delightful new sci-fi rom-com bursting with imagination.

The Last Days of American Crime (2020)

June 10, 2020 0

The Last Days of American Crime is a staggering waste of 150 minutes.

Verotika (2020)

May 28, 2020 0 42

With every conceivable level of filmmaking and storytelling, Verotika shows that Danzig is not remotely ready for the big screen.

Among Them (2019)

April 28, 2020 0 44

If you’ve ever wanted to watch a disappointing 90s indie crime version of Waiting for Godot, then Among Them is chief among them.

The Platform (2019)

April 19, 2020 0 3

I’m glad Netflix is able to bring small, strange, foreign movies like The Platform to, arguably, the biggest audience platform in the world.

The Hunt (2020)

March 27, 2020 0 3

The Hunt might have been cursed with bad luck but it also might have the distinction of the last new movie in theaters in what is proving to be an increasingly challenged year of content.

Guns Akimbo (2020)

March 24, 2020 0 18

Guns Akimbo is easy on the brain and maybe a little too easy on itself.

The Invisible Man (2020)

February 28, 2020 0 3

The Invisible Man is the first great film of the new year and the new decade.

Color Out of Space (2020)

January 28, 2020 0

Color Out of Space is a mostly successful, eerie, and occasionally stomach-churning little horror movie.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) – Take One

December 21, 2019 0

Star Wars will always be Star Wars but it can also be much more if it wanted to be.

Knives Out (2019)

November 29, 2019 0

Knives Out is an incredibly fun movie to watch fly by for its extended 130-minute running time.

Night Work (2019)

November 8, 2019 0 3

Night Work is a fun, ribald little movie that has its own sense of charm, from its budgetary limitations to the expansive possibilities of its strange world.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

November 4, 2019 0

I’m here to report that Dark Fate is the best of the sequels, a satisfying mix of action, character, and world building, but I’m also ready to let this series go away into its own dark fate.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)

October 30, 2019 0

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is made strictly for the fans, and if you count yourself among that throng, you’ll likely find enough to justify a viewing, though it may also be one of diminished returns.

The Lighthouse (2019)

October 25, 2019 0 6

The Lighthouse feels exactly like somebody meticulously melded an episode of The Twilight Zone with an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

October 7, 2019 0 1

Joker is a movie and should not be held responsible for the actions of others and what they may read from the film.

The Fanatic (2019)

October 2, 2019 0 3

Travolta’s wince-inducing go-for-broke, almost Nicolas Cage-ian performance is the best reason to watch The Fanatic.

Ad Astra (2019)

September 23, 2019 0

Ad Astra is more art film than thriller, more father-son reclamation than sci-fi, and more a drifting homage to Apocalypse Now in Space than something that can stand on its own merits.
