Tony
Up until a week before I saw this movie, the poster made me believe it was a movie about karate. Up until the end of the actual movie, I’m still not sure I know it’s about Anthony Bourdain. Tony falls into a very unique realm of biopics where they were…

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
I’m so happy that they (Jane Schoenbrun) finally made a movie I like! The skill and promise has always been there, but the execution has always felt off to me. Since I jumped right into it, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma feels like the most personal movie of…

Super Troopers 3
The third time’s the charm, or at least better than the second. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a franchise have two legacy sequels so close to one another. Typically you see a hit movie released and they let it breathe for 30 years and then a subpar sequel comes…

Ice Cream Man
The only good thing to come out of this movie is Sarah Abbott as Lizzie. So if you don’t want to read a few paragraphs of me bashing the movie, thanks for giving my website a view and enjoy your day. 🙂 Ice Cream Man is about as unhealthy as…
-
The Dink
Movies like The Dink make me realize, even if only for a brief moment in time, that “they don’t make comedies like they used to” is a valid statement. Don’t get me wrong I love Jake Johnson. He was always my favorite part of New Girl. He’s cocky, emotional, and…

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass
I’ve honestly never thought about who my celebrity sex pass would be, so why not spend a moment working through it with myself here. There are so many options to choose from. Scarlett Johannson, Margot Robbie, Jake Gyllenhaal, or hell, even Zoey Deutch if I’m sticking in the acting world.…

The Invite
RSVP: YES, with a plus one. It might not be a comic book adaptation blockbuster or a release from a (current) major director, but this is absolutely (a) reason we pack ourselves into the movie theater like sardines. There’s nothing like feeding off the laughter of the strangers around you…

The Death of Robin Hood
A24 is here with a retelling of a story for one of our most misunderstood folk characters. This time around, he’s not the good guy. I know everyone at hand wants you to never forget that, but you’ll never remember this movie. The Death of Robin Hood does everything it…

Cinema Catch-Up Corner June 2026
Power Ballad Paul Rudd is finally living out his dream from I Love You, Man. It’s a shame he seemingly had to leave Rashida Jones for it though. In all seriousness, Rick (Rudd) is living out someone’s dream by being a human jukebox in a wedding band here in Power…

Pressure
I never thought this day would come, but I have finally reached an age where I am interested in WWII content no matter how mundane it might look from the outside. Pressure is the newest movie in the line of endless films focusing on this theater of war, except this…

I Love Boosters
I cannot believe it has been almost a decade since Boots Riley’s last, and first, feature film in Sorry to Bother You. Even though it’s been that long, and I’ve only had one viewing of the movie, it has stuck with me all the same. I Love Boosters will stick…

Apex
I won’t lie, going into this I was fully expecting something a lot more offensive. I am shocked and thrilled to say it is not only not offensive, it’s entertaining. It also no longer feels like Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton are being held against their will in the streaming…

Carolina Caroline
Being from a small town, while also being an enjoyer of watching hot people on the big screen, Carolina Caroline really worked for me. I spoke with a friend that saw this before me at MSPIFF (Minnesota St Paul International Film Festival) and he did describe it as “hot people…
-
Exit 8
For someone who doesn’t play many video games anymore, Exit 8 certainly helped me feel like I was right back in that medium. Most of the time, video game to movie adaptations are exaggerated to an egregious level that is only meant to churn box office dollars and entertain masses…
-
TOW
Less than a week off of presumably coming in second place in the Best Actress race, Rose Byrne is right back in the swing of things. Reading the title of the film might make you a little uneasy, but I promise it has nothing to do with feet. Amanda’s (Byrne)…
-
Dreams
Dreams are sometimes just that, dreams. An unrealistic dream of mine has always been Jessica Chastain. The dream wasn’t dating her or anything, she’s just there in my mind a lot, so I guess it’s more of a daydream. A related dream of mine was having an erotic thriller starring…
-
How to Make a Killing
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World meets Snowpiercer. Now, that might not sound like something you wanted, but trust me, it is. You still might be wondering why my brain went to that mashup, and that’s because of the inherent nature and rules of their stories. In this film, Glen Powell…

Pillion
First thing’s first, 50 Shades of Grey could never. Meter maid by day, barbershop quartet by night. If you told me grown up Dudley Dursely (Harry Meling) was in a film playing those roles and giving one of the best performances of the year, I never would have believed you.…
-
Shelter
It’s safe to say that Jason Statham has now taken the place of what Liam Neeson was doing from 2014-2023. Now that means you’re going to get some good, some bad, and some just in between. This falls in the department of mostly the inbetween. You’re still getting Jason Statham…

Send Help
The only help Sam Raimi, Rachel McAdams, and Dylan O’Brien are going to need is spreading the word on this movie, because it is a blast. Right off the bat, this is a quintessential Raimi film. He’s been off the radar as far as original films go for 15 years,…
-
The Rip
I think I got ripped off… Affleck and Damon have been one of my favorite on screen duos over the past thirty years and honestly this movie is no different. I have no shame in saying that Ben Affleck is my spirit animal, which is why I’m so let down…

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
After being a wee bit disappointed in 28 Years Later (2025), mainly because of its inconsistent and jarring choices, I can happily say that its direct sequel rules. Nia DaCosta was the perfect swap out for the director role as she unleashes the audience into a world that feels like…
