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: 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.

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.

Bernie is an unassuming and strange biopic, standing out as one of Richard Linklater's most fascinating and unusual films.

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...

Review: Emma.

March 11, 2020

Autumn de Wilde's Emma does exceptionally well finding life within Jane Austen's story, condensing it in a way that preserves the romance and humor of it all.

Retro Review: Love and Friendship

March 2, 2020

Love and Friendship is easily one of the most propulsive, slick and well-produced period dramas to have recently come out of the film industry.

Retro Review: The Addams Family (1991)

October 23, 2019

The original Addams Family show first aired in 1964. Decades later, the Halloween favorite still carried enough clout to warrant its own movie, and the 1991 film was born. Posing as Gomez Addams' long-lost brother fester, Gordon works with his mother [...]
