The Last Supper: A-
The Day the Earth Blew Up: B+
Black Bag: B
Novocaine: B
Opus: C+

They'll definitely take the ones from Wes Anderson, Joachim Trier, Linklater, and maybe Kristen Stewart. Not sure if they'll take the remakes while Eddington could bypass the festivals and open wide immediately and the Gregg Araki film could be too wild for Cannes (and I can't see the Charli XCX fan...

The Day the Earth Blew Up 8/10 It's great that some distributor rescued this one from the shelf as it's probably the funniest movie so far this year. Instead of trying to modernize the characters, the mad lads who wrote this one decided keep the feel of Daffy and Porky and drop them into a modern se...

Novocaine 6/10 A much better action romantic comedy than last month's Love Hurts. While a slow starter, once Meg Ryan's son starts having the most brutal things happening to him, then it manages to be a reasonably fun, violent movie with a nice surprise or two. It probably could have used a little t...

Princess Mononoke is getting an IMAX release on March 26th.

I don't either. Disney downplayed the ad campaign due to a lot of that but I feel it might end up doing fine as most of the family-friendly things so far this year have played well. But I think Lilo and Stitch will be even bigger. First time I saw that trailer before a movie, the kids in the audienc...

I got almost that exact same reel before Anora. The only difference was that I got the older Ballerina trailer instead of Sacramento.

It's because filmbros have taken over a lot of the industry. The industry only cares about what the Internet wants now and it's filmbros, a vocal group of terminally online, usually white, male, and conservative-leaning, individuals that control the Internet's tastes. And if you disagree with them, ...

Maybe I might get surprised and say, "I probably should have paid full price for this" (note: I saw Anora for free) or "I was wrong to doubt this movie". You don't know until you try. And sometimes, a bad movie might be fun to watch, such as The Happening or most of the movies covered by Mystery Sci...

Because the thing won Best Picture and I felt I had to watch it (I would have picked I'm Still Here if I had a ballot). I don't actively seek to hate movies. There always comes a point where you either decide whether or not you care about what happens to these characters. Meanwhile, I could ask you ...

Anora 3/10 Filmbros can flame me because I don't get how anyone could enjoy this film. The main character is obnoxious, superficial, and a massive homophobe, the love interest is an idiot, and everyone else is stupid, violent, or both. The story is thin, the film is 40 minutes too long, and while th...

The Rule of Jenny Pen 7/10 Creepy, if a bit silly, horror film about a judge, rehabilitating after a stroke, is terrorized by a patient who rules the hospice care center with a iron fist...and with a baby doll puppet always on his hand. The strength of the film lays in its leads, with Geoffrey Rush ...

With On Becoming a Guinea Fowl unsurprisingly flopping after no buzz whatsoever, it will be interesting to see if A24 even has a hit this year.

Meanwhile, I found they have a Barney movie in the works. Why?

He also appears in the film as Vince McMahon's dad. As for indie filmmakers, I think there's still a big market for low-budget filmmaking. Tubi has been a goldmine for no-budget genre cinema, we have the Wakaliwood movies that were made for the most minuscule of budgets, and pretty much anyone can m...

Queen of the Ring 6/10 This wrestling take on Rocky (this was co-written, produced, and directed by the son of Rocky's director), based on a true story, starts slow and has some roughness due to the low budget but is held together by the fight sequences and getting to know about and see some of the ...
