The Roses (2025), directed by Jay Roach and written by Tony McNamara, reimagines the classic War of the Roses story for a modern audience. I wasn’t familiar with the original film, but in the end, that didn’t matter. The story is wildly entertaining, and that’s due to the fun script and
Idolatry in all its forms is hardly a new thing. Humans were born to worship whatever they could. But in today's well-connected modern age, the lie between idolatry and obsession becomes somewhat easier to blur and cross. That is squarely where Lurker lies. The feature debut of Alex Russell, who
This trio of episodes really tells us quite a bit about where DAN DA DAN Season 2 is headed. The episodes are as much about Evil Eye as they are about Jiji. Oh, and there's an epic volcanic eruption and power metal performances thrown in for kicks to boot. DAN DA DAN Ep. 16-18: Details in Brief

The final three episodes of Apocalypse Hotel are pretty representative of this quirky little original anime as a whole. The story goes all over the place and spans the genres from murder mystery to calm walking simulator to dramatic (mostly) space opera. And yet, throughout it all, the one constant
DAN DA DAN Season 2 Ep. 3 "You Won't Get Away with This!" is basically a situation where all of the cast jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. However, this applies to all of the cast. Including the big angry snake-worm thing trying to eat them all. Let's hope our heroes avoid becoming part
Nyaight of the Living Cat Ep. 3-4 basically tells us the story of how the catpocalypse began. As you can tell, this makes the beginning of the anime a serious case of in media res. It works very well for this anime though, because we now get some quieter moments to build up the story and characters
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.

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
