‘Judas And The Black Messiah’ Review

‘Judas And The Black Messiah’ Review

It has been several decades since a film has managed to capture the sheer energy of the 70s auteurs. And I don’t just mean on an aesthetic level, although the crackling 35mm appearance of lush urban decay certainly possesses a power that many...

‘Supernova’ Review

‘Supernova’ Review

Telling a story well can really work as a salve to all sorts of issues. After all, there’s really only ten archetypes of stories, and most of them have been told in every possible way (look at Hallmark, if you need any proof). So it’s up to a...

‘MLK/FBI’ Review (New York Film Festival Review)

‘MLK/FBI’ Review (New York Film Festival Review)

There are very few documentary styles that drive me up the wall more than the “tell things we already know as if it’s a revelatory discovery” genre. A documentary is a look inside a subject where most audiences lack insight, whether historically...

‘Pieces Of A Woman’ Review

‘Pieces Of A Woman’ Review

Every so often a new film comes out, and you slowly realize you’ve seen it before. It might be a new plot, with new actors and new directors, but you’ve most certainly seen it before. It’s a glorified film school project made by a pretentious fop...

‘Promising Young Woman’ Review

‘Promising Young Woman’ Review

Every once in a while, a film comes along that blows the doors clear off the building. It could be a dazzling technical accomplishment that catches the eye and betwixt the soul. It could be a bravura acting setpiece that features one performer...

‘Soul’ Review

‘Soul’ Review

It’s always fun to see a studio paint themselves into an inescapable corner. I don’t mean that they’ve narratively screwed up and reached convolution – I mean seeing someone so desperate to outdo their own impressive resume that they set...

‘Class Action Park’ Review

‘Class Action Park’ Review

There’s a unique aura that surrounds the infamous Action Park, the New Jersey-based water park founded by shamed Wall Street guru Gene Mulvihill in the late 70s. The story truly has everything, especially if you’re a cynic like me: Wall Street...

‘Onward’ Review

‘Onward’ Review

Whenever the name “Pixar” enters the picture, it’s hard not to approach a film with a certain sense of expectation. After all, Pixar is essentially synonymous with quality at this point. However, whether the film is a hit (Toy Story, Inside Out)...

‘Mank’ Review

‘Mank’ Review

It’s something of a fool’s errand, trying to make a movie about the greatest movie of all time. There’s a reason Citizen Kane holds that title; while it often feels like homework to watch a film everyone and their mother calls “Important and...

‘Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)’ Review

‘Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn)’ Review

The DCEU has been a roller coaster since the start. After trying to make a name for themselves by being the “serious” comic book adaptation (and failing miserably), they finally found their footing as the “Here’s Some Money, Do Whatever” studio...

‘Dick Johnson Is Dead’ Review

‘Dick Johnson Is Dead’ Review

For the first time since implementing the rule, I have come to regret my long-held belief that documentary filmmaking is a completely different artform than traditional cinema. It’s not meant as a snobby rule – I just believe that...

‘Fatman’ Review

‘Fatman’ Review

While I am always a proponent of Hollywood getting its freak on, there is such a thing as too weird. It’s damn hard to hit – after all, cinephiles are willing to crawl around inside John Malkovich’s mind or watch Nicolas Cage and John...
