★★ Writer/director Peter Stickland’s newest film Flux Gourmet is finally being served up on a platter for mass consumption! I went into this one completely blind, knowing little of Strickland’s auteur status, or his penchant for the bizarre. It must be stated that although Flux Gourmet has been touted as a horror/comedy, the horror element … Continue reading Film Review: Flux Gourmet

Film Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List
★★★★ Prancing in like a delicious mixture of Bridgerton and 10 Things I Hate About You, Mr. Malcolm’s List brings elegant romance and charming comedy to the main stage. 1802 England is the perfect setting, wonderfully channeling the snappy prose of book writer Suzanne Allain, who also took on scripting duties. A wealthy suitor, twists … Continue reading Film Review: Mr. Malcolm’s List
Film Review: The Sea Beast
★★★ The Sea Beast may be a predictable family film, but it is still cute enough to pass the time. The animation is stunning to behold, especially with the monsters in particular. It seems they went out of their way to lay the details on thick for these creatures, and all are wildly unique. The … Continue reading Film Review: The Sea Beast

All the … Continue reading Film Review: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Tribeca 2022: The Black Phone
★★★★★ One of my most anticipated horror films of the year has dialed up an appearance! Blumhouse’s The Black Phone, which first screened at Fantastic Fest 2021, is easily one of the best films of 2022’s Tribeca. This sadistic treat brings new material to the ‘children in peril’ subgenre, and delivers creepy survival horror that … Continue reading Tribeca 2022: The Black Phone
Tribeca 2022: Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
★★★★ Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a funny, touching film that echoes powerful messages about sex and body positivity. It manages to hit that dramedy sweet spot with the help of two phenomenal lead performances that are as different as they are harmonious. I have been a huge fan of Emma Thompson for … Continue reading Tribeca 2022: Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
