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

The Apothecary Diaries begins its long-awaited third season, introducing Maomao to a potential plague in Ep. 49 "Locusts". The nature of the plague is quite obvious as you can tell from the title. The real mystery here is how all the characters plan to deal with this looming threat to the entire
By now, you know how much of a sucker I am for wholly embraced absurdity and weirdness in cinema. Movies that know what they are and have no shame in being them will always be for me. Back in Black has that all covered in spades. A pitch black comedy thriller that satirically uses the macabre and
