My Dress-Up Darling Ep. 23 "I Didn't Think Anything Good Would Ever Happen to Me" is basically the calm before the storm. With the calm being a chance for Juju to finally get over her hangups about cosplay. All while the storm being the upcoming Coffin group cosplay, which is coming along

I watched Black Phone 2 as part of Beyond Fest at American Cinematheque. You can check out the full schedule here. How would it be possible to make a sequel to The Black Phone? That's the question I asked myself when they announced that Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill were working on Black
Luca Guadagnino’s body of work looks like a roller coaster when you chart the genres involved. Everything from horror (Suspiria) to biopics (Queer) has seen the Italian filmmaker operating on a broad spectrum of tone - always leaving his mark in one way or another. After the Hunt is no exception,

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the most important and influential films ever made. The Tobe Hooper classic has been debated, talked about, imitated, copied, remade, and everything in between on film. The new documentary Chain Reactions is all about the cultural impact of the film from the

We've got a dearth of traditional slasher movies these days. There's an even bigger valley of mystery-based slashers out there. Night of the Reaper combines those vibes with a nostalgic look, but not one that hits you over the head with it. Night of the Reaper is set in the 1980s, but there aren't
Paul Thomas Anderson has a knack for films about power, vice, and isolated protagonists. Boogie Nights centers the Wild West of the 1970's pornography scene, with well-endowed stars fighting to maintain relevance against the perils of an often shady fledgling industry. There Will Be Blood was a
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, starring Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Colin Farrell (The Penguin), lives up to its title in both style and spirit. The cinematography is stunning with its use of striking color, light, and shapes that make nearly every frame look like a painting. But underneath the

Undertaking a story like The Odyssey on screen is a titanic trial. Like the trials that Odysseus faces in his return to Ithaca, Christopher Nolan's decision to make his next film based on Homer's epic poem was a choice. I come from a storytelling background, and I have a degree in screenwriting.
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
