★★ Seeing Samara Weaving in the cast list for a horror film makes it an automatic must-see, especially given the rising star's stellar track record. Between Ready or Not, The Babysitter duology, and even a scene-stealing turn in last year's Scream VI, Weaving's penchant for working with mavens of the genre definitely makes her a … Continue reading Film Review: Azrael
Film Review: Long Gone Heroes
★★★ Apparently, the worst thing to ever happen to Venezuela was "discovering the oil underneath it." Yes, Long Gone Heroes has arrived in a blaze of glory to proclaim loudly that oil mining is bad, and corruption runs deep. Writer/director John Swab leans into every gritty action cliche in the book, collecting an ensemble of … Continue reading Film Review: Long Gone Heroes
TV Review: Terminator Zero
Was anyone really clamoring for an anime iteration of James Cameron's iconic Terminator franchise? After the box office misfires of its most recent series entries, there's no telling what fans truly want. Terminator: Dark Fate was the best since T2: Judgement Day, yet barely anyone showed up to watch it in theatres. Why not let … Continue reading TV Review: Terminator Zero
Film Review: Jackpot!
★★★★★ Last year, Awkwafina (Ocean's Eight, Crazy Rich Asians) played against type in the charming comedy Quiz Lady. Now, she fulfills the lead role of Prime Video's Jackpot!, channeling her undeniable charms for an action-heavy comedy extravaganza. From one potential grand prize winner to the next, Awkwafina proves her comedic prowess with ease. Director Paul … Continue reading Film Review: Jackpot!
Film Review: One Fast Move
★★★ As a massive fan of K.J. Apa, it was pretty much a no-brainer to check out Prime Video's motorcycle racing drama, One Fast Move. Our boy has certainly come a long way from his breakout performance in CW's Riverdale, leading a faith-based romance in I Still Believe and a pandemic-inspired thriller with Songbird. Now, … Continue reading Film Review: One Fast Move
Film Review: Stream
★★★★ With so much content constantly at our fingertips, there truly can be something found for any taste level. When it comes to the dark web or even the Elite Hunting Club of the Hostel films, we find depraved people getting their rocks off and profiting from the misery of others in the same breath. … Continue reading Film Review: Stream
Film Review: Twisters
★★★★★ 1996’s Twister, to this day, remains one of the all-time greatest disaster movies ever made, complimented by two core performances from Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. In the years since, it has become something of a cult classic. For this nearly three decades later spiritual sequel, director Lee Isaac Chung blends the charisma of … Continue reading Film Review: Twisters
Film Review: Atlas
★★★ Jennifer Lopez tries her hand in the action/sci-fi sphere with Brad Peyton's bombastic Atlas. The hot button topic right now of artificial intelligence altogether taking over has been done before, and better (see: I, Robot), but this is a nifty, breezy Netflix watch that should appease longtime viewers of the multitalented actress/musician. It probably … Continue reading Film Review: Atlas
TV Review: Knuckles
Spinning off from Sonic the Hedgehog and being set in between 2 and the upcoming third installment, Knuckles could have easily phoned it in to deliver an entertaining little side story. Take Knuckles, an outsider learning the customs of Earth for the very first time, present some manner of fish-out-of-water storyline, and sprinkle in some … Continue reading TV Review: Knuckles
Film Review: Knox Goes Away
★★★★ Academy Award-winner Michael Keaton, perhaps best known for iconic roles in Beetlejuice and Tim Burton’s Batman films, has not been behind the director’s chair for a project since 2009’s The Merry Gentleman. As his second-ever directorial feature, part-noir thriller/part-darkly comic drama Knox Goes Away provides a perfect starring vehicle for the aged actor. With … Continue reading Film Review: Knox Goes Away
