Heart Eyes
Meet cute, no, meat cut.A new slasher movie has arrived. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a movie like Scream, but Heart Eyes mostly fills that void. It’s set on Valentine’s Day as the killer HEK wreaks havoc on Seattle’s couples. I would say 50% of this film…

Flight Risk
“Ya’ll need a good movie?” Keep looking. Flight Risk pairs two all time great assholes, Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, together for a movie that takes all the little talent they had left and shoves it into the deepest hole. I will start by saying Wahlberg IS the best part…

Presence
If you go into Presence thinking it’s going to be the same old horror movie, you’d be wrong. It still starts out with a family moving into a new house where the family slowly realizes something sinister might also be there, but there’s so much more to it than that. …

The Brutalist
The Brutalist is a film that has so much to unpack. Set mainly in what feels like a counterfeit Pennsylvania, an extraordinary architect Laszlo Toh (Adrian Brody) makes his way from war ridden Europe to start a better life. It starts off feeling huge, because I’m sure this was a…

Wolf Man
Are Werewolves the same as the Wolf Man seen in this movie? I genuinely don’t know, and this movie doesn’t really help get me any closer to the answer. Leigh Whannell’s take on the wolf man is similar to The Fly. It’s a slow burn that focuses on relationships and…

The Room Next Door
I am completely unfamiliar with Pedro Almodovar’s non-English work, but using the Yorgos Lanthimos method of translating directly from page to screen wasn’t the best idea here. I don’t know how to put it into words other than that I felt like I watched an audiobook. All of the line…

Better Man
Better Man Robbie Williams is quite possibly one of the biggest musicians to ever come out of the UK, but maybe not since no one over here has ever even heard of him. At some point, someone decided to make a biopic about him. And instead of making it a…

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera
Heist movies should have interesting and complex characters, scene stealing locations, and entertaining heist related moments sprinkled throughout. This instead has too many characters doing almost nothing heist related while switching locations dozens of times for no apparent reason. If you were also impressed with nothing of importance happening for…

The Fire Inside
The true story of boxer Claressa Shields and her journey from Flint, Michigan to the London Olympics. The first half of the movie focuses on her working her way out of a bad home on her way to become the first female boxing gold medalist. I know this is her…

Nosferatu
HE IS COMING From a technical side of things, Nosferatu should be considered among the best of the year in film. Robert Eggers directs this movie in a way that feels like the most refreshing take on directing in years. The camera never sits or moves in the same way…

Babygirl
This is the story of when a woman CEO gets the itch to have an affair with her younger intern. Babygirl has had all the hype this year, whether it’s because of Nicole Kidman being in the lead role, it being an A24 film, or that it’s the least creepy…

Sicario and The Martian
Sicario has been one of my most anticipated movies of the year and it didn’t let me down. It stars Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, and Josh Brolin. It’s set around them trying to find a cartel leader in Mexico, well at least that’s all I knew about it going…
