I was a little off base about the first Five Nights At Freddy's movie when it came out. I watched it, didn't really care for it, and gave it a bad review. Then I watched it again with a bit of a different lens. I watched it as if it wasn't made for a seasoned horror movie veteran like myself. I
So did you know anything about Keeper when you went into the movie? Have you seen a trailer? What about a synopsis? Just the bare bones information? Good. That's how I'm going to try to keep this review. Because really, based on the marketing and everything else about this film from Osgood Perkins,
It's been since 2016 that we've had a Now You See Me movie in theaters. The mashup of magic and heist with whatever ideals the Eye has was a fascinating one for audiences. For those first two movies, they end up as entertaining bits of action where you have to stretch the suspension of disbelief.
At their best, 1970s crime thrillers (think Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver, The French Connection) have a distinct, gorgeous visual atmosphere and built-in intensity that really sells an immersive exploration of criminality. That decade is a half-century away, but Dead Man's Wire, Gus Van Sant's
It's the end of the world, still, as we pick up with the Garrity family not long after the events of "Greenland." Gerard Butler is back as John, exploring the wasteland outside the Greenland bunker, while Morena Baccarin's Allison remains inside, holding meetings about dwindling resources with the
Have I listened to very much Bruce Springsteen? Besides his most classic songs, not really. So a movie about the making of his album Nebraska wasn't very high on the list of things I would want to see in a movie theater. I know The Boss is a cultural icon and a favorite of plenty of people out
Good Fortune was a movie I saw the trailer for at CinemaCon 2024, and I was intrigued by the premise. Then it was sort of radio silence for the movie after that. It was supposed to be released in early 2025 and was then moved to its final release date of October 2025. The movie combines the premise
We don't have nearly enough sword and sorcery films these days. Like the Western, the musical, or any other genre that was popular in yesteryear, sword and sorcery films have been tossed to the wayside, until now. Yes, with the release of Deathstalker from writer/director Steven Kostanski, we
Daemons of the Shadow Realm has Yuru and his Daemons turn the table on his pursuers in Ep. 4 "Jin and Yuru". It's pretty clearly a case of the hunters becoming the hunted here, and in a very action-packed way to boot. Now we wait and see if this is a good thing for Yuru, or if he has bitten off
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.
Witch Hat Atelier takes Coco's calm and peaceful slice of life fantasy life, and then tosses her into the fire in Ep. 4 "Meetings in Kalhn". Oh, and with her new apprentice friends from the atelier all being thrown in with her when they follow her. That friendship looks like it's going to see quite
