Review: The Vast of Night

August 3, 2020
The Vast of Night is a lovingly low-budget, sci-fi mystery helmed by a first-time director. The odds sound stacked against it, but could this be a must-see on Amazon Prime?

Review: Guns Akimbo

July 30, 2020
If you're curious about that crazed Daniel Radcliffe meme, then Guns Akimbo will answer all your questions. Too bad it's the only real reason to watch this film...

Review: Mr. Jones

July 27, 2020
Mr. Jones may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it is still considered essential viewing due to its daring critique on the events surrounding the Holodomor.

Review: Hamilton

July 19, 2020
Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes, "Hamilton" is the story of America then, told by America now.

Review: The Jesus Rolls (2020)

July 16, 2020
Under the pretence of being a pseudo-sequel to The Big Lebowski, The Jesus Rolls sounds like a good watch. Too bad it's one of the most lecherous and uncomfortable indie films to have graced the screen in years...

Review: Greyhound (2020)

July 14, 2020
The closure of theaters hasn't slowed the release of Tom Hanks' newest World War II action film, Greyhound. Released on Apple TV+, does it suit the small screen?

Retro Review: Batman & Robin (1997)

July 9, 2020
Batman & Robin is notorious for managing to kill one of the most successful comic book film franchises for years. But does time heal all wounds?

Review: Shaft (2019)

July 8, 2020
Some may scoff at the idea of another Shaft movie, but director Tim Story manages to pull it off, playfully evolving and reinterpreting the 1970s Blaxploitation genre.
by Maurice Pogue

Review: The Lovebirds

July 2, 2020
Issa Rae has been hitting nothing but home runs in the past few years, but The Lovebirds might be her first strikeout.
by Maurice Pogue
 
8.8

Retro Review: Casino (1995)

June 29, 2020
Casino may not be as great as Goodfellas, yet it is still another epic Scorsese crime drama that isn't coy about the destructive nature of sin and greed.
by Tyler Hummel
 
6.2

Review: Scoob!

June 24, 2020
Scoob! hardly deserves the exclamation point at the end of its title, let alone the place in this Great Dane’s half-century legacy.
by Tyrone Barnes

 
6.9

Review: Crazy Rich Asians

June 22, 2020
The movie adaption of Kevin Kwan's novel, Crazy Rich Asians, sold like gangbusters in theaters in 2018, but does it hold up to scrutiny on the small screen?
by Maurice Pogue
 
8.2

Review: Blood Quantum (2020)

June 17, 2020
Got a Shudder subscription? Blood Quantum is a highly engaging and very entertaining spin on the zombie genre, that is good enough to stand alongside Shaun of the Dead and Train to Busan.
by Tyler Hummel
 
8.6

Review: The Assistant (2020)

June 16, 2020
If you can handle a movie that's more honest than dramatic, then you might find The Assistant to be a movie you'll enjoy. 
by Tyler Hummel

Review: The Way Back (2020)

May 30, 2020
The Way Back is a quietly competent and engaging drama that will appeal to viewers even if they don't enjoy basketball.

We Are One Film Festival

May 29, 2020
We Are One—an unprecedented collaboration of over twenty film festivals—kicks off today for free on YouTube. Is this the future of film distribution or will this be just another anomaly of 2020?

Review: Hail, Caesar! (2016)

May 24, 2020
Hail, Caesar! is one of the strongest comedic films of the last decade and a minor miracle in the otherwise excellent filmography of the Coen Brothers.
by Tyler Hummel
 
9.1

Review: The Platform (2019)

May 22, 2020
Winning the award for the most freakish timing for its release, The Platform has several deliciously relevant messages to deliver about the nature of society.
by Juliana Purnell
 
9.0

Retro Review: Bernie (2011)

May 21, 2020
Bernie is an unassuming and strange biopic, standing out as one of Richard Linklater's most fascinating and unusual films.
by Tyler Hummel

Retro Review: The Untouchables (1987)

May 19, 2020
The Untouchables is a complete and satisfying package comprised of the talents of many Hollywood legends.
by Tyler Hummel

Review: Capone (2020)

May 18, 2020
After his disastrous version of the Fantastic Four, Josh Trank directs a morbidly fascinating biopic which focusses less on Al Capone's infamous crimes and more on his uncontrollable bodily fluids... Worst film of 2020?
by Tyler Hummel

Review: Mad Max: Fury Road… Five Years Later!

May 14, 2020
Mad Max: Fury Road remains one of the strongest films to come out of contemporary Hollywood. It's an enthralling action movie from start to finish, and a masterpiece of film making as a craft.

Retro Review: Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

May 8, 2020
Kingdom of Heaven is enraging, complex, shallow, sensitive, nuanced, and spiteful all at once as it explores complex themes of faith and politics.
by Tyler Hummel
 
7.3

Review: Extraction (2020)

April 30, 2020
Extraction is a fun distraction, almost managing to become one of the leanest action films in years.

Review: Trolls World Tour

April 23, 2020
Yes, Trolls World Tour is at its heart a shameless remix of Avengers: Infinity War, and I’ve actually mixed up the titles in my brain while writing this...
by Tyrone Barnes

Retro Review: Ben-Hur (1959)

April 19, 2020
Never has there been a film as big as Ben-Hur. Over sixty years on, is it still worthy of the saying?
