One of my biggest question marks for the coming year has been The Harder They Fall. Directed by Jeymes Samuel for Netflix, the film has all the makings of a movie I’d love: Western genre, a classic revenge story, and an all-star cast (Jonathan...
While there are several “correct” answers to the question “What’s the greatest TV show of all time,” it’s almost an inevitability that whoever you ask will have The Sopranos in the Top Five. Walking a very thin border between “epic drama” and...
You know, I gotta hand it to Adam Wingard and the team at Warner Bros. While the last trailers in the Monsterverse (or whatever it’s calling itself) have relied on a weird amount of mystery and buildup to their big reveals, they seem to know...
One of my most anticipated films of the year to date has been Clea DuVall’s Happiest Season. I’m a huge fan of the romantic comedy genre, and the idea of a classic rom-com, with big stars and a holiday setting, that also serves as one of the...
When Adam Sandler entered the Oscar race in 2019 for Uncut Gems, he made the humorous threat that “If they don’t nominate me for this, I will come back and make the worst movie in the history of cinema.” Well, the Academy failed to live up to...
IT’S SACRED WALLOWEEN TIME, BABY! That’s right, Spooky Season is upon us, which means it’s time for more Halloween listicles, horror movie reviews and trailers, and 31 Days Of Horror – or 38, if you include the build-up to the ELECTION! Hey-o...
It’s officially Oscar season, folks. For the remainder of the year, if I’m sharing a movie trailer, you can probably bet that it’s going to be an indie film or blockbuster making a push for Best Picture (ok, with a horror film sprinkled in here...
If there’s one film I can’t wrap my mind around, it’s Dune. Based on the legendary novel by Frank Herbert that revitalized science fiction, fans have been waiting for a proper Dune adaptation for years, after David Lynch’s admirable failure and a...
Last weekend, DC and Warner Brothers held a 24-hour personal Comic Con dedicated to new trailers, Q&As with the directors, and more. As with the rest of the DCEU (DC Extended Universe, for those who don’t understand that idiotic title), it...
I’ve been thinking a lot in recent days about Judas and the Black Messiah, and how so many of my fellow pundits have been sleeping on it. While director Shaka King is relatively unproven, it’s still a production that cannot be overlooked. It’s...
There are few writers in Hollywood as insanely brilliant as Chralie Kaufman. After breaking out in 1999 with his insane look at loneliness and fame in Being John Malkovich, he has tackled the complexities of life in a variety of bizare ways, from...
Having finally worked their way through their entire male catalogue, Marvel has finally realized that “Hey, maybe we should give women a chance to have their own movies.” So even though she (SPOILER ALERT) tragically sacrifices herself halfway...
