Don’t be a Grinch: It’s a blast! It’s a slasher that’s a remake of a slasher from 40 years ago that was one of the most protested movies in history due to its depiction of Santa Claus as a killer. The original Silent Night Deadly Night is jam packed with cult classic lines shouted like…

Not bad, just needed a stronger editor. What does guilt do to a man? Johan is a regular man, with a regular job and a regular life. He could have done nothing to prevent the guilt and by all accounts is not responsible. So why is he so bothered by said guilt when he isn’t…

Give it a few days before making a final call. After making their busting-through-the-walls movie last year with The Substance, Mubi is back and they’re throwing more arthouse on the table. Lynne Ramsay’s latest movie Die My Love is a hard hitting flick about a woman spiraling into madness due to postpartum depression. It’s stacked…

Stream if this is your thing. ****This review contains spoilers, however, it isn’t anything you can’t find with a Google search**** There’s a rising trend in female athlete movies. They all seem to be very hollow. Last year’s Queen of the Ring about Mildred Burke, the first female wrestler in the 1930’s-50s, was such a…

Stream it, if you really want. Remember all the way back in 2007 when Blumhouse started making noise with “You have to vote on this movie to have it shown in your area” style of distribution? Although the name had been around for several years at that point (Blumhouse’s inception was in 2000), no one…

Check it out. When I hear there’s a movie that puts a new spin on an old genre I immediately roll my eyes. It’s not that I’m some geezer who hates what the kids are doing these days, but all the “new spin” style of films are usually terrible. Let’s spice things up a little…

Really doesn’t seem like it is the kind of movie it is. Every once and a while an amazing trailer hits theaters and the movie winds up a humdrum experience. Sometimes a trailer comes out and it’s basically what’s shown. Very rarely does a trailer come out and the movie is basically the trailer, but…

I liked the beginning. Oh boy, there’s a new Strangers in town. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I saw the painfully slow, waste of actors and zero-chemistry-with-the-leads box office smash The Strangers: Chapter 1. It did make $48 million on a budget of $8.5 million, and the new trilogy was filmed…

Stream it. What if your world had been rocked to oblivion? There’s no money, very few jobs and what you knew (or your parents knew) of the past world was illegal to talk about and you damn sure better not have any relics of this era if you want to keep your life. Poor, destitute,…

Check it out in theaters. It’s not for everyone. I’m not a sports guy and I really don’t care for football. After finishing Him, the latest release from Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, it’s quite clear that neither the writers nor the director of the movie are as well. There, I said it. Save all your…
