“Pig” Review

Photo credit: NEON Bolstered by a terrific Nic Cage performance, Pig is one of the year's most pleasant surprises. This isn't the John Wick knock-off that its premise would have you believe; it's a patient, moving examination of what we really care about in our short time here on earth. Death is a tsunami simply … Continue reading “Pig” Review →

“Candyman” Review

Featured

Photo credit: Universal Both as a horror movie and as a continuation of its predecessor, Candyman is an absolute mess. Sure, the movie looks pretty; there's no denying Nia DeCosta has a visual eye as a director. Yet the emptiness behind upside-down shots quickly wears off, leaving bare a horror movie devoid of any true … Continue reading “Candyman” Review →

“F9” Review

“Mortal Kombat” Review

Photo credit: Warner Bros. This is far from a good movie, but you probably aren't expecting (or even demanding) one from an adaptation of a video game known for violent fatalities.

“Nomadland” Review

Featured

Photo credit: FOX Searchlight When Nomadland wins Best Picture next month, a bunch of people are going to watch it the following weekend and complain that nothing happens in its two-hour runtime. In a way, they're right; you watch characters poop in buckets, look at the sky, eat in their vans, and gather together around … Continue reading “Nomadland” Review →
