For being one of the shortest books in Stephen King‘s entire bibliography, Carrie has somehow been adapted into a 70s cult classic, an entertaining sequel to the original, a TV movie designed as a backdoor pilot that never took off, and a stylish remake. That’s a whole lot of mileage for a concise novel. What … Continue reading TV Review: Carrie
Film Review: Charlie Harper
★★★★★ What is the true meaning of love? Do we actually make an impact on the people we touch in our lives? Is it possible to find success and love with the person most important to us?

Film Review: Camp Rock 3
★★★ We (still) rock? Yes, it may be a jaw-dropping sixteen years since we last visited in 2010's Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, but this three-quel makes a solid case for reopening the comforting musical franchise for a whole new generation. In the years since, original stars Demi Lovato and Jonas Brothers trio Nick, … Continue reading Film Review: Camp Rock 3
Film Review: I Want Your Sex
★★★★★ Indie favorite Gregg Araki really knows sex. From early favorites The Living End and Totally F***ed Up to the masterful Mysterious Skin and even his ultra-gay, oddball Starz series, Now Apocalypse, the best of Araki's works find a way to alchemize eroticism and dark comedy. I Want Your Sex may be Araki's most audience-friendly … Continue reading Film Review: I Want Your Sex
Fantasia 2026: Someone’s Daughter
★★★★ Canadian survival thriller Someone’s Daughter may seem on the surface to be a typical stuck-in-the-wilderness flick. However, in the vein of Sam Raimi’s excellent Send Help, this film has much more on its mind. After a riveting cold open that leaves the kidnapper dead, two unlikely people must work together to make it off … Continue reading Fantasia 2026: Someone’s Daughter
Fantasia 2026: No Rest for the Wicked
★★★★★ A moody, atmospheric gay love story set against the backdrop of a gorgeous fishing town? Count me in! No Rest for the Wicked is akin to Call Me By Your Name in the visuals department, even if the focal point is a love story even more tragic. The couple seems doomed from the moment … Continue reading Fantasia 2026: No Rest for the Wicked
Film Review: Heartstopper Forever
★★★★★ Back in 2022, an absolutely adorable LGBT series debuted that became a cultural smash, buoyed by the vibrant source material of Alice Oseman's graphic novels of the same name.

TV Review: Lucky – Season 1
Crime thriller Lucky, starring Anya Taylor-Joy, totally lives up to the prestige quality of many Apple TV titles. In fact, the series is so well-written that it could conceivably become a long running staple on the streaming platform despite being billed as a limited miniseries. Collecting an entire A-list ensemble—including genre mainstay Timothy Olyphant, major … Continue reading TV Review: Lucky – Season 1
4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Crime 101
★★★ Bart Layton’s Crime 101 has all the ingredients of a modern crime classic: a stacked cast led by Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan, gorgeous California locations, and a basic jewel-heist hook. While it never quite reaches the heights of Layton’s previous movie (see: the masterful American Animals), his script still … Continue reading 4K Blu-Ray Film Review: Crime 101
Film Review: Young Washington
★★★★ Who knew George Washington was once a twink? Angel Studios targets the origin story of one of America's most notable historical figures in Young Washington, an incredibly engrossing drama. As someone who only has the most basic knowledge about this 1700s era of American history, there was plenty about Washington that surprised me. William … Continue reading Film Review: Young Washington
