Movie Review – Ballerina
—
Writing reviews for C-grade movies is the worst. There’s not much to praise, because, obviously. And there’s not much to hate on, because it wasn’t gawd-aweful. It’s basically the Big Mac of food. It will fill you up if you’re hungry for that sort of thing, but later, you sort of wish you hadn’t eaten…

Movie Review – Bring Her Back
—
Bring Her Back should have been a homerun for me. After trashing A24’s earlier films so badly they actually contacted me (yes, that really happened), recent gems like The Iron Claw and X had completely won me over. When I heard the Philippou brothers – who delivered the brilliant Talk to Me – were back…

Movie Review – Karate Kid: Legends
—
“Two branches, one tree.” So begins the latest chapter in the beloved Karate Kid saga—Karate Kid: Legends—a film that proudly grows from the roots of a franchise that has inspired audiences for over four decades. As a lifelong fan who vividly remembers being captivated by the original 1984 classic, I approached this sequel with a…

Movie Review – The Last Rodeo
—
Angel Studios delivers another winner with The Last Rodeo, and I’ll admit it – this one had me in tears. When a horror fan like me gets emotional over a rodeo drama, you know something special is happening. Neal McDonough absolutely carries this film as aging cowboy Joe Wainwright. After loving his performance in The…

Movie Review – Lilo & Stitch
—
I’ll be completely honest with you – walking into Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch felt like stepping outside my comfort zone. I’m the person who gets excited about jump scares and practical gore effects, not heartwarming family tales. But sometimes you’ve got to trust the process, and in this case, I decided to let the…

Movie Review – Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
—
Hands down, this was the movie I was most looking forward to this year. Based on the quality of the action and drama of the previous four movies in the Mission: Impossible franchise, I expected excellence. Of course, high expectations are the main ingredient for disappointment. I’m not hugely disappointed. Nevertheless, disappointed I am. Acting:…

Movie Review – Final Destination: Bloodlines
—
Oh look, Death’s playing the same old game of Whac-A-Mole with forgettable teenagers again. Final Destination: Bloodlines has me wondering if the Grim Reaper is suffering from creative burnout. While the original made me actually care whether those kids escaped their fate, this installment left me rooting for Death to hurry up and get it…

Movie Review – Hurry Up Tomorrow
—
Hurry Up Tomorrow starring The Weeknd is a psychedelic fever dream that leaves you questioning reality at every turn. Much like A24’s more experimental offerings, this film throws conventional storytelling out the window, replacing it with a kaleidoscope of visuals that might impress in a music video but left me disoriented in a feature-length format.…

Movie Review – Friendship
—
Living in isolation rarely suits us humans. We’re wired for connection, craving that sense of belonging—even if we’re not always ready to admit it. That longing is front and center in Friendship, the quirky new comedy starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd. At its heart, this film is about the odd, messy, and often hilarious…

Movie Review – Clown in a Cornfield
—
What a hayride of a movie! Clown in a Cornfield is a must-see for anyone who appreciates Children of the Corn (obvious reference due to the cornfields) or Terrifier (total clown reference there). This is not just another horror movie—there’s a semi-campy feel to it, but more importantly, it’s unique for some very cool reasons.…
