There was a time when the stoner comedy was a reliable genre, particularly among the coveted demographic of young men. I remember those late nights in the college dorm quite fondly. Up late working on a paper last minute, ready for the weekend, and a friend suggests ordering a pizza and popping in
Leave it to pure independent cinema to remind us that there are still some new tricks up the old sleeve of cinema. The indy scene is where the biggest risks are still taken, and nothing is a bigger swing than And Her Body Was Never Found. A truly singular film that, even drawing from inspirations
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
There's a growing trend in cinema right now, and that is the trend of movies being fun again. Just a good old-fashioned time at the theater (or home since streaming accounts for most viewership these days) filled with laughs and action and heart that remind you why you go to escape in the first
From the music-minded duo behind Once, John Carney and Peter McDonald trade soft romance for something far more morally grey with Power Ballad. If you thought “Falling Slowly” was an earworm, wait until you hear “How to Write a Song (Without You)” to move in and start rearranging furniture.

Dead Eyes drops you directly into the nightmare…whether you want to be there or not. Told entirely through a first-person POV, the film follows Sean (Rijen Lane) and his fiancée, Grace (Ana Thu Nguyen), as they venture deep into a remote forest in search of Sean’s missing father. His
I remember seeing the trailer for The Dog Stars and having my eyes roll back in my head. Do we really need more post-apocalyptic stories when we're living in a real life apocalypse? Do we need another movie that has an analog for COVID-19 and the aftermath that had on our own society. Well,
Daemons of the Shadow Realm reveals the depths a certain hunter named Ivan has in Ep. 20 "The Hunted and the Hunter". It's very bloody and dark depths, but it does show that Ivan will likely be a major recurring villain in the story, and will play a major role in that story somehow. As well as
Dinosaurs may be the most beloved creatures to ever exist - sans cute puppies and cats on the internet. They're usually everyone first obsession when they're young, and no one ever gets tired of seeing a T-rex. So why are most dinosaur movies, built on the backs of surefire hit animal so bad all
