★★ Frequently frustrating yet not without its charms, She is Love ultimately fails to impress. One big missed opportunity after another hang over the film like an ugly scab that cannot be ignored. The mismatched coupling at the center may be to blame. However, both Haley Bennett and Sam Riley are also host to the … Continue reading Film Review: She is Love

Film Review: Pamela: A Love Story
★★★★ Hulu’s Pam & Tommy was one of my favorite pieces of media that I watched in 2022. A key feature was not addressed, and until I caught Netflix’s Pamela Anderson documentary, I did not quite realize just how vital it would be. Pamela was not consulted about the series, nor would she have participated. … Continue reading Film Review: Pamela: A Love Story
Sundance 2023 Wrap-Up
Last year, we covered much of 2022's Sundance virtually, and 2023 marked the first year since 2019 where things returned to Park City in full swing! Though unable to attend in person, Allison and I managed to see a few gems that we both really enjoyed. Check out our full coverage for the fest after … Continue reading Sundance 2023 Wrap-Up
Film Review: Fear
★★★ The concept of fear is a fascinating one indeed, varying drastically from person to person as to their ultimate fear. Taking fear as a construct and manifesting it into a tangible, dangerous entity is another story entirely. Co-writer/director Deon Taylor crafts a predictable film so filled with horror genre cliches that it is barely … Continue reading Film Review: Fear
Film Review: Maybe I Do
★★★★ I must admit that despite a stellar cast, I had pretty low expectations when sitting down to watch Maybe I Do. Perhaps it was the odd premise or the fact that it’s being dumped straight to VOD. However, my fears were unfounded, and Maybe I Do is actually an adorable, fun time at home. … Continue reading Film Review: Maybe I Do
Film Review: Blood
★★★★ There is nothing I love more than a fresh genre surprise, and Brad Anderson’s Blood perfectly fits the bill. Though I was not a fan of the director’s incredibly well-received movie Session 9, Blood is a different beast entirely. Dealing with very dark and heavy themes about parenthood and protecting the ones you love, … Continue reading Film Review: Blood
Sundance 2023: Infinity Pool
★★★★★ For anyone wondering what it feels like to be on hallucinogens, stumbling their way through unspeakable horrors while questioning the very fabric of reality, boy is there a movie for you! Ultraviolent and beautifully realized, there are just not enough words to describe the feeling of heaviness and unease the viewer is left with … Continue reading Sundance 2023: Infinity Pool
TV Review: Wolf Pack
In a surprising turn of events that must be confusing to a number of people, Teen Wolf creator/showrunner Jeff Davis has set his sights on another werewolf show set in a brand-new universe! Aptly titled Wolf Pack, this Paramount+ series carries the star power of Buffy icon Sarah Michelle Gellar, and a cast of young … Continue reading TV Review: Wolf Pack
Film Review: Teen Wolf: The Movie
★★★★ Back in 2011, MTV’s Teen Wolf came roaring into a very different kind of television landscape ready for a major shakeup. Heavily inspired by the format and style of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jeff Davis’s Teen Wolf become one of my favorite shows during the course of an impressive 100-episode run. Nearly six years … Continue reading Film Review: Teen Wolf: The Movie
Film Review: You People
★★ For what it’s worth, I would consider Eddie Murphy to be one of the greatest living comedians of our time. Starring in countless gems throughout the 80s and 90s, the only major notable films from Murphy since the early 2010s, Dolemite Is My Name and Coming 2 America, earned relatively mixed reception. Now, Murphy’s … Continue reading Film Review: You People
