There was a time where the path of a stand up comedian was straight and narrow: create a killer 30 minutes, tour that across the county, wait for the sitcom or movie offer and then convert that special into a Hollywood hit. It was a rinse and repeat method that has led to many of the most famous
Indulging every absurd idea that pops into his head, the film unfolds with propulsive vibrance and unshackled execution. That approach turns out to be a bit of a gift and a curse for Riley; a gift in the sense that we get something fresh and original, but a curse because its unbridled approach
I'm actually quite fond of irreverent road trip/coming-of-age comedies. I find the simple premise of a ragtag group of unlikely friends taking an unlikely journey for a pretty silly reason (usually a girl) and getting into hijinks along the way a lot of fun. It's a repetitive narrative that never
The Sheep Detectives is a towering testament of how powerful animated stories can be when done right. A genuine crowdpleaser, the film is sure to warm and break your heart, wrestling with richly textured explorations of death and grief, lost and found families, and the necessity of memory.
Putting your name in the title of the movie is a bold move for anyone not named Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino, even if it's just to separate it from familiar IP. I don't know that Lee Cronin quite has the repertoire to demand such a thing, but in his latest film, he most certainly works to
I'm not completely sold on the Bob Odenkirk action star rebrand. That's not a knock on him, either. I actually think he fits the role quite well, given the right circumstances - those being the break out Nobody which remains the best use of his new look. But something about it feels off and

Sometimes the best way to access the core of a film is to let it take you over completely. Locked behind metaphorical dialogue and an obtuse artistry, the key to the door is simply letting it all in and fester inside until the understanding comes to light. You can't second-screen a film like this,
Solidifying itself as the international breadwinner of studios, Neon has quietly become one of the most prominent and successful "smaller" studios since its 2017 inception. They grew from 5 employees at a WeWork to a fully independent studio is less than a decade, quite the run for a new up and
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
It was just three years ago that the world was introduced to the magical world of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. That film was a runaway success at the box office and was surprisingly great, considering some of the gripes coming into it. Now, we're getting a sequel that is adapting one of the most
"Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair" is now available on Hulu. The title of the show really sells how fans of the franchise that ran from 2000 through 2006 should feel about the series. I promise I will explain. This "revival" brought back as many stars as they could, including Frankie
