Film Review - Venom: The Last Dance
While Venom: The Last Dance can’t quite save Sony’s universe, it is still leaps and bounds ahead of some of its other entries.
Film Review - Terrifier 3
Overall, Terrifier 3 proves that a little Yuletide seasoning and some punchy editing go a long way to finally giving Art the film he clearly deserves, a raucous and thoroughly cruel slasher fiesta that's sure to be a Halloween season hit.
Film Review - Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
Super/Man is a remarkably grounded and thoughtful profile of a man whom we all believed could fly – and maybe we still do.
Film Review - Joker: Folie À Deux
It's interesting that for all the film's grappling with Arthur's identity crisis, Folie à Deux winds up having one of its own
Italian Film Fest 2024 Review - Gloria!
Margherita Vicario’s directorial debut is a lively feature that sings with heartfelt moments and comedic witticisms alike, pulling audiences in for a story that is nothing short of glorious.
Film Review - Subservience
SK Dale’s direct-to-streaming suckfest Subservience, […] dares to ask the brave question “what if we made the robot… sexy?”
Film Review - Speak No Evil
With strong performances, and a compelling narrative that deviates just enough from the original, Speak No Evil is worth a hearty recommendation for fans of the genre.
Film Review - Megalopolis
It's hard to say how the film will be received by audiences now, but it is sure to have an impact.
Film Review - Runt
If you’re into Aussie battlers, beautiful Australian scenery, cute speedy dogs, and blatantly crying your heart out in public then Runt is the film for you.
Film Review - Transformers One
From my formerly substantial experience with the Transformers fandom I can say that this will please them, and whether you choose to interpret that as an indictment on them is up to you!
Film Review - The Wild Robot
If you’re going to see one animated robot film this spring, check out The Wild Robot.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - Us and the Night
I don’t know if I will ever get to watch Us and the Night again given its unique formatting and distribution, but it’s quite radically put my love of film into perspective.
Film Review - The Crow
The best part of the screening was the little black cupcakes that were handed out outside the cinema afterwards, almost like a little treat for slugging through the disappointment that was this movie.
Film Review - Bookworm
Bookworm is a delightful ride that offers the humour, heart and thrills of the best old-fashioned adventure films, while remaining grounded and character-driven.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - Timestalker
Timestalker tells the story of a woman named Agnes who keeps falling in love with the wrong man in several different time periods, after being continuously reincarnated.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt
A quietly ambitious work sure to attract allegations of pretension, Raven Jackson swings big in All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - Cuckoo
With complex, figurative ideas, eccentric leading performances, and a tense atmosphere, Cuckoo leads with promise.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - DEVO
Like its idiosyncratic subject matter, DEVO is a poignantly hyperkinetic ninety-minute examination of rock music’s most misunderstood band.
Film Review - Alien: Romulus
All in all, Alien Romulus is a worthy - if conflicting - addition to the franchise.
MIFF 2024 Film Review - The Substance
If there was ever a flick to skip the popcorn on, it’s this one. Coralie Fargeat’s latest film, The Substance (2024), is a stomach-churning concoction of body horror and comedy that makes for an insanely monstrous watch.
