After watching “Tenet,” I’m not sure how Christopher Nolan’s brain truly functions. Is it on a different wavelength to everyone else’s? I’m not sure, but he’s taken his love of testing his audience with time-bending puzzles to the next level—a level I didn’t even expect Nolan to reach…for better or worse.

Netflix’s latest original movie, “Project Power,” has plenty of powers, but never manages to be super. Most of the movie is competent, but it’s hard to heap too much praise on a film that tees itself up for success and still bungles it’s shot.

As you would expect, there is only so much you can do with a found footage film that hasn’t already been done. Host does, at times, sink to using the typical tropes like an actor made-up to look like a demon jumping out of the dark at the camera. However at times I found myself so invested in the film, that even when there was one specific over-used trope, it shocked me and was a pleasant surprise.

Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson might not be household names, but something is on the horizon for this duo. Their new film, SYNCHRONIC has subtext, a message, and a key central idea, but because Moorhead & Benson wanted to introduce so many elements from different genres, almost all of that effective storytelling was, ironically… lost in time.

We might look at some of the forgotten childhood tidbits that have been chipped away from our soul and scoff at the idea, but A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood reminds us not only are these things natural, they can come back into our lives easily. Here’s our review.

Joker utilizes the popularity of the comic book movie platform to deliver a new character story. In a repulsive, vile, and evil exploration of one of comics’ most iconic villains, Phillips changes the lens through which we view films in this genre.

Not since “Clue” has there been such a wildly entertaining good old fashioned murder mystery. Rian Johnson breathes new life into a neglected genre with his Agatha Christie inspired throwback offering a timely modern twist on a classic favorite.

The pitfalls of fame are in abundance, suffocating them from every angle and submerging them into maturity before they’re even ready. However, if you’re Shia LaBeouf, the environment may lead to severe emotional distress and he’s not afraid to share in his latest film, Honey Boy in which the writer/actor exercises a long overdue catharsis contextualizing the heartbreaking and complicated relationship between he and his father.

At SXSW in March, debutante-director Olivia Wilde addressed the Austin crowd, announcing how she wanted to make Booksmart the next Breakfast Club or Clueless. Something tells me, three decades from now, a budding filmmaker will say she wants to make her film the next Booksmart.

What was clear at SxSW’s marquee opening of Peele’s Us, was that not only has Peele deservedly earned comparisons to iconic filmmakers, but that he couldn’t be more modest during this success. Peele, much like Serling can deftly create a world of science fiction or horror that shines a dark light on… well… Us.
