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
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
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

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
At the end of last week's episode of The Pitt, we finally learned what happened to cause Westbridge to shut down. As PTMC preemptively secures itself from a possible cyberattack, the younger doctors and nurses get a trial by fire on how their superiors did their jobs "in the 1900s." With
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
Cultural phenomena like Elvis Presley simply don't come along very often. As a follow-up to his 2022 Elvis Biopic, energetic director Baz Luhrmann unearthed and restored never-before-seen footage of Presley, including 45 minutes of audio where he discussed his life and work, and made all of
