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...

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...
DC has been struggling to come to terms with how to make a good film ever since Batman v Superman tanked critically and commercially. They have literally tried everything – depressing like Snyder, visionary like Wonder Woman, colorful like...
Ugh, this is the post I knew I would have to write one day, but dreaded actually having to put into words. They say “all good things must come to an end.” And while I knew it couldn’t sustain for much longer, I thought there was hoping that...
In theory, there’s nothing I could imagine as more unnecessary than a sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. While the novel possesses an entirely different ethos surrounding alcoholism, parental abuse, and the legacies of generations, the film...
