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

Sometimes SXSW is the perfect festival for a film to premiere at: The festival is very audience-driven, and those attending know exactly what they're there for. Such is the case for Kirill Sokolov’s action horror comedy They Will Kill You. With elements of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise in
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.
Prime Video’s Pretty Lethal does not tiptoe in. It crashes through the doors in pointe shoes and dares you to keep up. The story follows a group of American ballerinas traveling to Hungary for a major competition. But, before they even get close to the stage, everything that could go wrong goes
Drag is the kind of film that you want to go into completely blind. I will not spoil anything in this review! Drag (2026) comes from the mind of Raviv Ullman, who co-directed with Greg Yagolnitzer, best known as the star of Disney’s Phil of the Future. Coming out of SXSW, this is my favorite film
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

In Wishful Thinking, love isn’t just complicated, it’s cosmically unstable. Charlie (Lewis Pullman), a struggling musician, and Julia (Maya Hawke), an ambitious video game designer, are stuck in that uniquely frustrating relationship purgatory: they can’t make it work, but they can’t seem
The Evil Dead formula might be the most successful in the modern era of horror movies. You take the book of the dead, the Necronomicon, and you hand it to a new fresh filmmaker and let them get on with it. It worked with Fede Alvarez and Evil Dead (2013), it worked with Lee Cronin and Evil Dead
This is a first for Marvel Studios and their Marvel Television branch for their Special Presentations. We've had others like Werewolf By Night that introduced a new character, but not one for an already established character like The Punisher. The Punisher: One Last Kill comes off the heels of his
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
