Film Review: Uncharted
The latest gaming entry in the Uncharted franchise is six years old, the movie itself having been caught in development hell since 2008. The finished product is another addition to the library of OK movies based on better games.
Film Review: Nightmare Alley
Brewing over the course of the late 1930s to early 1940s, Nightmare Alley exposes the selfish pursuit of profits created by the ego of those which prey upon the needy, and the desperation of those who have nothing to lose.
Film Review: Scream
No longer will we see silly Shaggy from Scooby Doo stabbing his friend before getting stabbed himself… No, no, no. Scream will make you squirm as the knife twists in each subsequent teen.
Film Review: Ghostbusters: Afterlife
When lasers fly from the Ghost Gun as the Ecto-1 shreds the shaking streets of Summerville, that’s when Afterlife shines brightest, with stunning practical effects instilling the same love of the original Ghostbusters appreciated immensely throughout Afterlife.
Film Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home
The latest movie in the Spider-Man franchise continues the webslinger’s penchant for redefining what cinema can achieve.
Film Review - Nine Days
Nine Days makes the most of the short time it has on the screen, a powerful lesson that it spends every waking minute exploring as the clock continuously counts down and the existential dread in finality begins seeping in.
Film Review: Pig
My infatuation with the truffle schtick is the absurdity in it. Like I said, sure, this could certainly happen today. But how twisted is director Michael Sarnoski, in his directorial debut, to make us even use the phrase ‘truffle underworld’.
Film Review: The Card Counter
The Card Counter is an exceptionally packed movie, one starring Oscar Isaac, Willem Dafoe and with help behind the scenes from Martin Scorsese. It’s just a jaw-dropping shame that this is the movie to teach us all that even the greats have their off days.
Film Review: Dune
You will not be taken back by such gripping immersion again for a very long time. Dune has earned its spot as 2021’s most anticipated movie.
Film Review: Cry Macho
Why is a rodeo rider sent to modern-day Mexico to smuggle a child? Why is a 91-year-old geriatric the only man who can get it done? I don’t know.
Film Review: Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a wild ride through unexplored terrain in recent superhero – err... I mean, anti-hero(?) – movie history.
Film Review: Eternals
Eternals toys with the idea of human evolution, tracing our timeline through its century-spanning plot and pondering the effect of nature vs nurture on a grand scale.
Film Review: The Suicide Squad
This is a high-risk mission, life or death, and I want to see someone’s head blow up!
TV Review - The D'Amelio Show
It’s hard to justify watching The D’Amelio Show as mind-numbing reality television in the same way that Keeping up the Kardashians could be at its finest.
