Journal with Witch has Asa set herself free with a very personal revelation about her future in Ep. 11 "Set Free". After seeing all the love and chaos in her Valentine's Day surroundings, it finally looks like she has a grip on her life at long last. Not only that, it's a rather musical grip to
I am not the target audience for 1000 Women In Horror. I'm a seasoned horror fan who knows how important women are and have been to the history of the genre. Horror is a woman. Think about it, sure, the masters of horror might all be men (until we make a new bunch of masters), but they all used
Writer/Director Macon Blair is trying to bring back the chaotic road-trip comedy with The Shitheads. But does it work? I’m unsure. There are moments that land and genuine laughs sprinkled throughout, but it has left me wondering if the movie itself misses the mark or if I’ve simply outgrown this
TRIGUN STARGAZE has one last laugh for our heroes Vash and co. before the big battle against Knives in Ep. 9 "Reunion". It's quite the laugh too, full of ridiculous comedy and fluffy slice of life galore. However, it also looks like it's the last bit of calm before they finally got into the last
Journal with Witch has young Asa struggling to find the right words for an original song for her band in Ep. 10 "Bind". Even with Makio's help, she still struggles to find the words for it throughout the entire episode, but she is making progress...of sorts. All while in the background, we see
TRIGUN STARGAZE gives us our long-awaited duel between Nicholas and Livio/Razlo in Ep. 8 "Good Bye, My Friend". As you can imagine, it's an epic duel of the fates worthy of a Star Wars movie in more ways than one. And as readers of the original manga by Yasuhiro Nightow will know, this duel
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride is fantastically unhinged in the most delicious and deliberate way. This is not a nostalgic retread of Frankenstein. It is a reclamation project. A gothic romance filtered through 1930s Chicago Mob grit, stitched together with satire, horror, and a sharp awareness of
Journal with Witch gives both Makio and her niece Asa a serious case of writer's block for their respective tasks in Ep. 9 "Intersect". For different things, of course. One is having writer's block on writing a novel, and the other is getting the same thing writing song lyrics. But regardless of
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
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,
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
