Almost Popular is the latest indie coming-of-age movie capturing the chaos, humor, and awkwardness of high school. Centered on two best friends determined to be “cool,” the film takes viewers through a wild ride of buying fake social media followers, hiring a personal “coolness coach,” and
The Return of the Immortal When "SISU" first came out in 2022, in my opinion it was not only the best action film that year, but one of the best films of that year period. The film had a great ending and I never imagined there would be a sequel. Lucky for us director Jalmari Helander has done the
Doin' It is the latest film from comedian and creator Lily Singh (The Bad Guys 2). It is a bold, raunchy, and surprisingly heartfelt take on sex education and personal growth. The movie follows Singh’s character, a 30-year-old virgin with a dream of launching a groundbreaking app. To legitimize

My Dress-Up Darling Ep. 24 "Dear My Dress-Up Darling" ends the second season on quite the high note. All with the entire group getting in on the Coffin cosplay in a beautifully horrific way. Add in some interpersonal revelations among the friend group and even a confession from Marin to Wakana, and
Eleanor the Great, Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut, is a film that defies easy categorization. It’s a tender, messy, funny, and controversial drama that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Johansson takes a gamble by delving into moral complexity rather than offering a safe,

DAN DA DAN Ep. 24 "Clash! Space Kaiju vs. Giant Robot!" finishes the second season of the anime with one heck of a showdown. Seriously, when you're watching a fight between a giant mecha-Buddha and a lightning-tossing kaiju, you tend to just sit back and enjoy the show, mouth agape the whole time.
The survival of horror franchises hinges on their capacity to maintain suspense and offer new incentives for viewers to return. Many horror sequels, however, struggle to validate their existence. Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows, for example, famously abandoned the unsettling realism that made its

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.

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,
Remaking Faces of Death is a hell of a move in 2026. Although, this movie doesn't really remake that diabolical film from 1978, it instead takes inspiration from it and it even exists in the universe that this film takes place in. So getting that out of the way so that the horror "diehards" who
