When a horror movie does something different, it gets a lot of credit from yours truly. Big or small, a fright flick with something on its mind, as well as an unusual way of executing things, they get some leeway from me. With Breeder, it’s a strong enough film to not have to be graded […] More
Welcome back to my Home Movies! Today, the most recent Guillermo del Toro film is joining the Criterion Collection as Frankenstein gets this special treatment (my review of the movie from the Telluride Film Festival is here). This week also features some horror themed 4K re-releases, which is quite appropriate since we’re approaching Halloween, as […] More
There’s an efficiency and economy of storytelling that Paweł Pawlikowski possesses which few of his contemporaries do. For example, this is his sixth feature and he’s yet to make a film that’s 90 minutes long. His longest movie to date is 88 minutes, which says something about how he can capture his story, as well […] More
The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead. Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the […] More
Today, I’m headed down to Savannah to continue festival season. While once upon a time, the devil famously went down to Georgia, now I am too. The occasion? The beginning of the 29th SCAD Savannah Film Festival. This point in festival season is where the regional fests kick into high gear, and while there’s not […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
One of the biggest surprises of Wicker is just how much fun it is. That fun isn’t just something viewers experience, as I learned when talking to the movie’s stars, Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. They had a blast making this film, as did pretty much everyone involved. You can see it too in the […] More
Last weekend, audiences finally got to see what pundits like yours truly have been raving about since the Telluride Film Festival. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim‘s You Can See Everything opened in theaters, taking in a phenomenal $15.6 million in only 855 theaters. This weekend, the film goes wide and may well challenge Clayface for […] More
Noah Segan has truly outdone himself with The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. The actor, probably best known as Kid Blue in Rian Johnson‘s Looper, turned writer and director, has one of the films of 2026 in this wonderful character study. The movie, centered on a towering turn from John Turturro, has been impressing […] More
I’ve wanted to see the character of Clayface on the big screen ever since I first saw the Batman villain show up in 1992 on Batman: The Animated Series. The idea of a Clayface film always seemed very hard to pull off and do right, yet hope remained. Then, when Mike Flanagan was pitching his […] More
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that Laika is able to do what they do. Stop-motion animation is so difficult, so expensive, and so time consuming, anyone who is able to complete a project deserves my deepest respect. At the same time, as impressive as Laika’s visuals always are, I don’t always fully connect with […] More
There are a lot of ways that someone could have made a film about Chris Hansen and To Catch a Predator. For writer Ajon Singh, he chose to pen a movie unlike anyone else would have even attempted. That director Lance Oppenheim, as well as producer and star Robert Pattinson, shared that vision, speaks to […] More
