Hokum is a story about telling stories, and all of the elevated frights and scares mined from timeless sources of culture lend it all to feel but lived in and supernaturally surreal. Smart choices like this leave me wanting more from both McCarthy and Irish folktales. They gave us whiskey and
“From” is a stunning original horror series from John Griffin, now on its fourth season at MGM+ (and the most-watched series in MGM+ history). Its newest season sees Sophia, played by Julia Doyle, enter the town in a startling car wreck. MGM+ has been a streaming home to a growing number of
Like many quaint New England island towns (at least if you ask Stephen King), Widow's Bay is full of old history and rampant superstitions. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) wants to modernize and revive the place into the next Martha's Vineyard (making it a hopping tourist destination), even though
Anne Hathaway is back on the big screen this weekend in The Devil Wears Prada 2, and it comes not too long after the release of A24's Mother Mary, with the two films contributing to a big year for the actress, who has three more movies to come out in the coming months. It's great to see Hathaway

Will Gluck's new movie One Night Only pairs Monica Barbaro & Callum Turner in a very unexpected romantic comedy. Universal just dropped a trailer for the film. Fans can't get over how familiar the premise feels to movies that are in a completely different genre. Universal just gave us a massive
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a master class in sequels. While fans have been begging for the return to Runway, the story of waiting 20 years is exactly what was needed. The film is a sequel built on patience, not nostalgia bait, and that restraint pays off. When we last saw Andy Sachs (Anne
Video game adaptions have always proved challenging in cinema. The transfer of playability to watchability has far more failures than successes, and that's not even including the long list of ill advised Uwe Bol films. You would think that videos games, packed with complex protagonists, intriguing
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
The last few episodes of HBO's The Pitt have been a whirlwind of activity. Though not covered here, the show ran the gamut from staff assaults to ICE's appearance. The latter was a prescient addition to the storyline given the current climate in America, and something the show portrayed correctly.
