in ReviewsFilm Review: ‘Beckett’ Finds John David Washington On the Run Through Greece
Netflix has become known for releasing original films that are either mammoth in scale and/or prestige (think The Irishman and Army of the Dead) or tiny little productions (things like Paddleton and Horse Girl). As is the case with the majority of Hollywood, there isn’t much room for the star-driven mid-budget films that we saw […] More

Film Review: Isabelle Huppert Breaks Bad as ‘Mama Weed’
For many viewers, all you’ll need to hear is “Isabelle Huppert plays a drug smuggler named Mama Weed” in order to book your front row seat for Jean-Paul Salomé’s new crime caper. It’s easy to see why, as Huppert is one of the best actors we have today, making each new project she takes on […] More

Film Review: ‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ Brings Refreshing Energy and Creativity to the Action Game
With most of Hollywood’s tentpole productions mining whatever decades-old IP they can get their hands on, it’s pretty rare for a completely original property to exist at all, let alone to build out a world so enticing that you want to come back for another round the moment it’s over. Perhaps that’s why Gunpowder Milkshake […] More

TV Review: ‘I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson’ is the Funniest Show No One is Watching
At the dawn of the streaming era, Netflix had only three ‘Netflix Originals’ (Lillyhammer, House of Cards and Orange is the New Black), now they have hundreds. With that many pieces of television, shows go undetected by the mainstream. As a result, competition from even the same streaming service steal from the viewership some shows […] More

Film Review: ‘Cruella’ is Devilishly Good Fun
I believed I had grown tired with the origin story. The once fresh concept had long ago grown stale to the point that even the phrase had taken on negative connotations. My fear was that Cruella would be one of those creatively stale films that dragged out the iconic villainess, only to put her through […] More

FILM REVIEW: ‘Wolfwalkers’ Runs Wild with Cinematic Magic
The power of a line is amazing. Lines on maps have started (and ended) wars and have divided people. Lines of dialogue or prose have inspired and entertained people for centuries. In art, lines can tell a story, express emotions, capture the beauty of a moment, and much more. Wolfwalkers, the latest film from Cartoon […] More

FILM REVIEW: ‘Love and Monsters’ is The Apocalypse at its Sweetest
Like many films that have been released recently, it is hard not to make connections between the on-screen situations of Love and Monsters and the current isolation nightmare which we all share. Mankind hiding from “bugs” forcing us into isolation had a whole different meaning just a few months ago, but now they feel like the perfect […] More

Film Review: ‘We Don’t Deserve Dogs’ Rightly Pays Tribute to Our Canine Companions
Dogs are better than humans. That’s just a fact. The upcoming documentary We Don’t Deserve Dogs, currently on the festival circuit, is cinematic proof. The film not only pays tribute to our furry friends, but ponders why on Earth they’re so good to us. In some cases, we’ve certainly earned canine companionship, but in others, […] More

Film Review: ‘Tar’ is Hard to Sit Through
Every so often, you see a horror movie that grabs you from the beginning, and leaves you completely satisfied by the ending. Tar is not even close to that movie. Instead, the film delivers weak effects, dreadful acting, and a scrawny plot with minimal scares. It’s hard to describe the exact plot of this movie, […] More
