We are well within the James Gunn era of the DCEU and now we get a longer look at the upcoming Superman movie. Keep in mind the purpose of a trailer is to build anticipation, and I will leave it at that. Let’s check it out. I have a number of problems with the Superman

It’s rare that I don’t see a trailer for a movie before I see it but somehow, I had seen none for Death of a Unicorn. I’m a big fan of A24 movies so I decided to grab Mrs. The X and take in a Sunday movie. And after watching this dark comedy horror movie

Jada Toys once again is changing the game with this new line of Cyberpunk Edgerunners Line. So we’ve got a line with soft goods and extra heads, hands, and more accessories then your average Marvel Legends.

The Nice guys is one of those movies about which people lament: “They just don’t make em like they used to.” But movies like this one have always been rare. Clever jokes, engaging plot points, stylish sets, charismatic actors, on-point directing, and a believable story – it’s always been a compelling combination. But it’s just

So we decided to do a February comedy month – because honestly, we knew we couldn’t make it through a month of romances or even “rom-coms” (which so often seem to be much more eager to show the “romance” part). And we knew there’d be quite a few that didn’t age well: For instance- casual

This movie is, of course, incredibly funny. In that classic Mel Brooks type way, the super meta ending felt completely earned, the ridiculousness of the townspeople, the governor, and the badguy making his minions pledge allegiance to evil were amazing. Most of what makes this movie funny though are individual moments, visual gags, and one-off

The basic premise of this is, a serial killer goes to a concert with his daughter. Or a father who murders people takes his daughter to a concert that means a lot to her. Trap navigates this dichotomy brilliantly. I don’t know what to say about the movie. It is lazy in certain parts, and

A somewhat baffling but interesting movie. There are a lot of elements that kind of work. The main character is really good. She’s believable throughout and her transitioning into an alter ego is an interesting ride. I don’t really understand a lot about the guy that she’s in contact with. He’s empathetic and helpful as

“V/H/S Beyond” is almost as hard to review as it is to type out. It’s six pretty disparate stories held together by a loose theme, and each short film attempts its own storytelling style, actors, thematic elements, and perspective. But it would be far too generous to say each short actually achieves those heights. From

Pearl is beautiful, interesting at times, and well acted. But it’s not scary, and fails to make the characters compelling enough to feel high-stakes in the most important moments. Pearl is the prequel to “X”, and they share slasher vibes and a central location. But where X feels exuberant and almost playful, Pearl feels forced

I can appreciate movies that don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are. Freaky is one of those movies. What is unusual is it feels like both a good and a bad thing. It’s a parody of Freaky Friday, and when it hits the parody angle hard, it’s hilarious. The problem is that

Minor overall spoilers. Have you ever booked an Airbnb? Have you ever thought “Hey wouldn’t it be scary if I got murdered?” If the answer is yes then oh boy have I got a movie for you. This movie kind of feels like three movies duct-taped together. There’s an initial, somewhat typical build up for

Speak No Evil is a frustrating movie.

It looks like Hasbro wasn’t done with their Ghostbusters line.

So Kas had seen this one and I hadn’t. Midsommar is a weird cult story that makes me wish my people (white vaguely Scottish/Irish people) had more culture and legend (or at least that I knew our mythology better). At least I have mental illnesses and queerness to enrich my perspective (hooray?). There are a

A masterpiece. A Quiet Place has always been about the intersection between horror stories and stories about humanity and how we connect and communicate. This one does not disappoint. A Quiet Place tells the story of a terminally ill woman trying to make it through New York on, literally, day one of the invasion. She

If you like the original Scream, odds are you’ll like this. An absolute blast from start to finish. A classic who-dun-it with every flair typical to a Scream Movie, including a few directly matching shots. Everything from the plot, to the killers, to the cameos, exactly mirrors Scream as direct commentaries on current horror. The

Immaculate was one of the creepiest so far. The movie successfully balanced a lot of unsettling elements while intentionally refusing to prove something was definitely wrong.

Nicolas Cage gives a masterful performance as Longlegs. You read that right. Nicolas freakin’ CAAAGE, MAN!! I couldn’t take my eyes off of him anytime he was onscreen. Maika Monroe delivered in her performance as Lee Harker, the detective and main character, and so does Alicia Witt, Lee’s somewhat waifish mother. Nic Cage’s prosthetics were

No One Gets Out Alive is a truly modern horror movie…because it’s about the horrors of millennial housing. The movie is centered around Ambar (sic), an undocumented immigrant from an unnamed country, being paid under the table. When trouble comes knocking she has virtually no one she can turn to. The movie definitely is from

First of all, breathtaking shots. A horror movie this pretty is refreshing. Nell Tiger Free shines as the Margaret, particularly in a long shot in the third act of a horrifying transformation. There were obviously a lot of young women, and every single one of them held their own. Also, Bill Nighy made a surprise

The Visit was a weird one. It fails where you’d think it would succeed, and succeeds where you think it would fail. One of the biggest problems with The Visit is it doesn’t fully commit to the medium. For instance, the girl’s relationship with her documentary, her art, is never made clear. How does she

Late Night with the Devil is a highly stylized experience for the indie horror cinephile. While it’s not the scariest movie we’ve seen this year, it’s definitely a confident and well-told story that knows what it wants to be. It utilizes classic, practical effects (as well as digital effects) which fit the 70s aesthetic and

Oz Cobb may find walking painful, but the series premiere of The Penguin didn’t miss a single step. The Penguin picks up where The Batman left off. A flooded and disparate Gotham.

Serial mom The over-the-top nature of John Waters absolutely makes this one for the ages. Most of the performances are honestly just ok, but the writing and filming style is everything. The standout in this movie is definitely Kathleen Turner. Her eyebrow work alone is fantastic, but her entire performance gives this piece the absurdist

HBO’s new show, The Regime, used its pilot to make sure you knew just one thing: women can be narcissistic, irredeemable, power-obsessed, cruel a-holes, too!

I don’t think there’s been a series I was more excited for. Cowboy Bebop stands at number two of my all-time favorite anime series.
