Read MoreInsanely comedic performances elevate the insanely impressive stunt masterclass of ‘The Fall Guy’ to the point of… well, insanity. Continue for our full SPOILER-FREE review.
Read MoreSNL alum Kyle Mooney brings a 90’s teen disaster high-school comedy that is pretty rad… I guess. Continue for our full review exclusively from the 2024 SXSW Film Festival.

Read MoreFresh off the premiere at SXSW 2024, ‘Road House’ is entertaining in spite of a weak script that could have derailed the entire movie if not for great fight sequences and the unbridled chaos that is the films conclusion. Continue for our full SPOILER-FREE review.
Read MoreAmazon does it again with yet another comedic ride in ‘Ricky Stanicky’ - A movie filled with endless laughter, ribald jokes and an excellent supporting cast.
Read More‘Drive-Away Dolls’ if nothing else, is a mindless B movie through and through. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself, but it will surely polarize audiences. Yet, considering that the film was made in the 2020s, is set in the 90s, and boasts a style which evokes the 70s, it achieves a level of kitsch that is rarely reached.
Read MoreJust in time for Valentine’s Day, director Zelda Williams has brought audiences ‘Lisa Frankenstein’, a quirky, charming throwback that is destined for cult classic status.
Read MoreWhile ‘The Book of Clarence’ boasts great lead performances and a terrific sense of style, its thematic underpinnings through its theological setting are all surface-level, unafraid to question anything it unevenly presents.

Read MoreTimothee Chalamet steps into the hat of the iconic chocolate maker in ‘Wonka’, a prequel that manages to charm and warm your heart in equal measure.
Read More“How the Gringo Stole Christmas” my have some bemoan the film for refusing to give up tired stereotypes, while others will enjoy the familiarity and appreciate the flashes of originality. It’s certainly worth giving a try if you fall in the latter category, especially around Christmas.
Read MoreThe concept is simple -‘The Holdovers’ takes three distinct characters and throws them together so they can learn from each other. There is no magical happy ending, no false note, or easy resolution either: the story is realistic and bittersweet from start to finish, which creates a strange and relatable realism with the story.
Read More‘Dicks: The Musical’ will garner one of two reactions: you’ll love or hate it. Anyone can spot the flaws in its drawn-out running gags and rudimentary aesthetic, but that still doesn’t stop the movie from being one hell of a fantastic time.
Read MoreKristoffer Borgli’s ‘Dream Scenario’ is without a doubt one of the best films at the 2023 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival. The script and direction are perfectly woven together and a fully locked in Nick Cage absolutely brings this film together and makes it an incredible experience.
Read More‘Fallen Leaves’ is tender and sweet, despite some dark themes that surround the main characters both personally and in the world around them. With an achingly short runtime of 81 minutes, this deadpan tragicomedy shouldn’t be missed.
Read More‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’ could’ve been an enjoyable sequel, but it instead re-treads to distasteful and lethargic humor, essentially putting the nails in the coffin for the future of the franchise.

Read MoreDespite a predictable story, ‘You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah’ remains a fun coming-of-age tale filled with great performances and perfectly-timed comedy.
