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.…

Movie Review – Fight or Flight
—
This movie was not worth the price of admission, and my ticket was free. The only entertaining thing about it was seeing it with my movie-amigo and making fun of all the ridiculousness. And it isn’t like I expected this movie to be great in the first place. I would have been impressed if it…

Movie Review – Thunderbolts*
—
I’ve been waiting a long time for this type of MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie. It’s certainly not the best MCU movie, but it has some soul to it, something that has been sorely lacking from every MCU movie since Avengers: Endgame. My impression is that the creators of the recent MCU movies believe the…

Movie Review – The Accountant 2
—
Here’s why I didn’t enjoy The Accountant 2: it feels like someone took a 10-hour streaming series that was compressed it into a 2-hour movie. There is a lot of apparent depth in this story, but there’s never any follow-through. What stood out to me the most was the group of hacker kids and their…

Movie Review – The Legend of Ochi
—
The Legend of Ochi is A24’s version of E.T. While The Legend of Ochi clearly draws inspiration from classic coming-of-age creature features, director Isaiah Saxon brings his own artistic sensibilities to this tale. Unlike Spielberg’s optimistic suburban fantasy, Saxon crafts something more reminiscent of a folk tale—mysterious, occasionally menacing, and deeply rooted in the isolation of…

Movie Review – Until Dawn
—
Last night I watched Until Dawn, and I won’t lie – I was skeptical about another “Groundhog Day” horror concept. We’ve seen it all before, but this one managed to surprise me with its creative kill scenes and laugh-out-loud moments mixed in with the screams. The whole “stuck in a time loop” thing has been…

Movie Review – Sinners
—
Sinners is a gripping journey into the heart of the 1930s South, brought to life by Michael B. Jordan’s captivating performance. His portrayal strikes a perfect balance between vulnerability and strength, anchoring the film’s emotional depth. The production design is nothing short of remarkable; the sets beautifully recreate the cotton fields and rural landscapes, immersing viewers…
