★★ The legend of the Sasquatch has persevered for decades at this point, becoming the subject for many a horror film. Too often we have seen the Sasquatch depicted as a menace, some manner of odd, overly-large creature intent on harming anything that crosses its path. Curiously enough, writer/director David Zellner and his directing partner, … Continue reading Film Review: Sasquatch Sunset
Film Review: Lisa Frankenstein Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray
★★★★★ Coming to Blu-Ray at long last (and currently streaming on Peacock as of this writing), underrated horror/comedy/romance Lisa Frankenstein has a hell of a life for the lumbering dead! Written and directed by two bold female creatives in Diablo Cody and Zelda Williams respectively, this flick did not make much of a splash when … Continue reading Film Review: Lisa Frankenstein Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray
SXSW 2024: 3 Body Problem
From the creators of the legendary fantasy epic Game of Thrones comes… a character-based sci-fi thriller? While David Benioff and D.B. Weiss may not necessarily be the first names that spring to mind concerning aliens, they nevertheless make a bold entrance into the genre with gripping 3 Body Problem. Based on a massive trilogy of … Continue reading SXSW 2024: 3 Body Problem
Film Review: Damsel
★★★★ Right at the top of Netflix’s fantasy/action flick Damsel, Millie Bobby Brown’s Elodie exclaims that this is very much not a simple damsel in distress story. No princes will be swooping in to save the day, nor will first love’s kiss set her free. Elodie will be a different brand of princess, relying solely … Continue reading Film Review: Damsel
Film Review: The Tiger’s Apprentice
★★★ Asian representation in animated film gets a major push in Paramount+ title, The Tiger’s Apprentice. The first thing that caught my eye here was the obviously excellent voice cast, including Brandon Soo Hoo (Incredible Crew, Tropic Thunder), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians, A Simple Favor), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve), and Michelle Yeoh … Continue reading Film Review: The Tiger’s Apprentice

Goodbye 2023! It's time to prep for a sequel-heavy new year. Allison and I have compiled a list of the twenty-five films we are most looking forward to seeing.

Film Review: Candy Cane Lane
★★ Is it just me or are holiday-themed movies getting lazier each year? New Eddie Murphy vehicle Candy Cane Lane definitely fits the bill as one of the least inspired major holiday offerings to stumble along for quite some time, alongside slightly-more-terrible Melissa McCarthy flick Genie. While host to a few cute moments, Candy Cane … Continue reading Film Review: Candy Cane Lane
Film Review: Teddy’s Christmas
★★★ As the years go by, recapturing that same sense of whimsical delight once felt as a child for the Christmas holiday cinematically seems increasingly out of reach. Norwegian import Teddy’s Christmas, now dubbed to reach a wider audience, definitely encapsulates the spirit of the holiday for younger viewers to enjoy. The movie itself is … Continue reading Film Review: Teddy’s Christmas
Film Review: Genie
★★ A feel-great family movie, especially around the holidays, has the power to bring people together, and make them appreciate what they hold dear. Each and every year without fail, countless companies jump for the chance at their own new Christmas movie in the hopes that they will remain in the conversation for years to … Continue reading Film Review: Genie
TV Review: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
Edgar Wright’s 2010 masterpiece, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, may have bombed at the box office upon initial release, but in the years since, it has leveled up into an endlessly rewatchable cult classic. As an audience member, I eagerly awaited a chance to see this story continue in one way or another. A sequel … Continue reading TV Review: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
