Celine Song's 'Materialists' hits the ground running as a sharp satirical examination of the dating scene in NYC. But the air gradually goes out of the balloon and the movie unfortunately transforms into an overly long, joyless slog. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMfJ-85qczE
]]>In honor of the 50th anniversary of Robert Altman’s ‘Nashville’, I put together a flashback review celebrating one of the most influential movies of the Seventies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoyUtLtkTRo
]]>I was a little gun-shy going into 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina', but director Len Wiseman and star Ana de Armas quickly eradicated my concerns with some stylish R-rated violence. De Armas and Keanu Reeves need to reunite for more murderous mayhem sooner rather than later. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQd4a3-HJLc
]]>I was fully prepared to hate 'The Phoenician Scheme' and had been sharpening my knives for weeks in advance, but much to my surprise...I enjoyed the movie. It's not top tier Wes Anderson, but totally worth seeing in the theater if you're a fan of his work. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQyh9u96Hzo
]]>I'm relieved to report that directors Danny and Michael Philippou have avoided the sophomore slump with their new horror movie 'Bring Her Back'. While it wasn't exactly scary, it was certainly disgusting (in a good way) and had me recoiling from the screen on more than one occasion. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7UJ2ELL1vM
]]>I've read conflicting reports about which day is the official 75th Anniversary of John Huston's 'The Asphalt Jungle', but all that aside, here is my rant celebrating one of the best crime films ever made: youtube.com/watch?v=n_Xqz3VPxzc
]]>With his third time at bat adapting the work of Stephen King, Mike Flanagan has delivered a strong contender for the best movie of his career, 'The Life of Chuck'. While I won't necessarily be rearranging my list of favorite Stephen King adaptations, that said, I definitely suggest that fans of King and Flanagan have a look. My review: youtu.be/nt4KedM8Xdk?si=_M1yl4ICr6LVz32v
]]>If all you want from #MissionImpossibleTheFinalReckoning is to see Tom Cruise perform awe-inspiring stunts then mission accomplished. The movie is totally worth the price of ission. But the excessive runtime and overly large cast unfortunately diminish the overall impact of what should have been the biggest and best of the series. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISTpBNwz7EQ
]]>50 years ago today, Clint Eastwood's adaptation of the bestseller 'The Eiger Sanction' premiered in New York. Check out my video where I sing its praises: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebUAfw1OA
]]>In honor of its 75th Anniversary, I decided to cook up a flashback review of one of the best movies starring Humphrey Bogart, 'In a Lonely Place', directed by Nicholas Ray. www.youtube.com/watch?v=utbgANOfESI
]]>#FinalDestinationBloodlines is a strong contender for the best movie in the franchise. I haven't laughed harder all year. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GsqRRqSfCI
]]>#Friendship was one of my most-anticipated movies of the year, but this comedy is neither dark enough nor funny enough for me to give it a full-throated recommendation. That said, if you liked the trailer, you very well might get into the flick. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce_bd4TEp4c
]]>#Thunderbolts features some entertaining moments about halfway through the film as we watch the team come together, but the movie overall suffers from incredibly lackluster action scenes as well as an ending that had me clawing my eyes out in frustration. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y06_T3AhFKQ
]]>50 years ago today, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ made its premiere in the US and we Americans have been obnoxiously quoting it ever since. Check out my review for one of my-all time favorite comedies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCuKMsR0Quc
]]>I'm all for Sony and Playstation making movies from every video game they've ever made, but with #UntilDawn, director David F. Sandberg has delivered a limp movie that pretends to be R-rated on the surface but is actually risk averse and PG at its core. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vpQslkmLb8
]]>After far too long an absence, Gareth Evans makes his return to reclaim the title of greatest director of action movies working today. Check out my review for #Havoc starring Tom Hardy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VJqebVHRZ8
]]>David Lambert s me to celebrate the 75th anniversary of John Ford's 'Wagon Master' (1950). And just for the heck of it, we made the discussion a double feature by including Ford's final western from the silent era, '3 Bad Men' (1926): www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtEECmvcxVg

]]>David Cronenberg's 'The Shrouds' is at times intensely personal, disturbing, and erotic, but I must it the plot left me a little bewildered. That said, it's always an honor getting to review any new movie by one of my favorite directors: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP7GydyJhNM
]]>Writer-director Ryan Coogler has reached a career high with #Sinners, a $100 million spectacle that earns its title many times over with all the blues, booze, gambling, sex and bloodsucking you could ask for. If Coogler ever goes back to the restrictive world of Disney, I will weep openly. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ6cBMIguxE
]]>#Theant2 delivers all the action that's expected, but Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal go the extra mile by delivering a surprisingly funny buddy movie that I found to be superior to the original. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxs7IEvP3AQ
]]>Former U.S. Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza and co-director Alex Garland have delivered an easy frontrunner for the most visceral, intense moviegoing experience of 2025. Based on Mendoza’s experiences in Iraq, ‘Warfare’ is unlike any war film you’ve ever seen. See it in IMAX. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5ihizAZggY
]]>#TheAmateur is slickly made and a very solid espionage story, but perhaps falls short of being an exceptional international spy thriller. That said, the cast is fantastic and overall the flick offers an enjoyable evening at the movies. Check out my spoiler-free review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZGu1Apvy3Y
]]>For a movie that sets itself up as a celebration of the human imagination, it's incredible to me just how little imagination is on display in #AMinecraftMovie. 200 million monthly players of #Minecraft might be about to reach for their pitchforks. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGEb-rLQrlo

"Russ Meyer, the rural Fellini, serves up a colossal motion picture geared for the young and old alike. A sophisticate in the blue collar, a motion picture born to entertainment, vibrant, spellbinding, jarring, rocking, gut-wrenching, yet so hilariously funny in its delivery. Russ Meyer’s ‘Supervixens’, an all out assault on today’s sexual mores and more, a frontal attack against women’s lib, blasting through the male machismo syndrome, kicking the crap out of conventions, hang-ups, convictions, obsessions, the whole bag. Cops, robbers, sexually aggressive females, rednecks, sick men of war, unfaithful wives, impotence, bedroom prowess, the 32-second orgasm, cuckholding, the wrist bazooka, momism, breast fixation versus felatio, racing cars, self-abuse, even death and reincarnation. Russ Meyer’s ‘Supervixens’, a cinematic smorgasbord of mind-boggling beauty, six of the most bountiful woman in the world, yeah six incredible broads served up from the lusty table of Russ Meyer. Russ Meyer’s ‘Supervixens’, feast on it."
My 50th anniversary review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoE3rUMykbI
]]>Director David Ayer and Jason Statham are up to their old tricks with the new action flick 'A Working Man'. While it's unlikely to become anyone's new favorite Statham movie, if you just want to see him kill a lot of Russian gangsters, it will get the job done. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkhi8Itff8
]]>I'm always game for a movie that attempts to blend humor and horror, but 'Death of a Unicorn' is a bewildering miss for A24. With its limp comedy, unlikeable characters, and pathetic creature design, it's a disappointing film in pretty much every way imaginable. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzzjxQyqc9E
]]>I had an absolute blast talking on my channel with director Jeremy Workman, editor Paul Murphy & Bill Scurry about Jeremy's incredible new documentary, 'Secret Mall Apartment'.

]]>While the movie doesn’t 100% work for me, at a minimum, the filmmakers have made an R-rated action comedy for only $18 million without ripping off a single movie from the past. Not the highest standard by which to judge a movie, but that's where we are these days. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ET4EhJEPQ0
]]>At a time where it is easy to get cynical about the state of movies, here comes ‘Black Bag’, a devilishly entertaining British spy thriller by industry vets Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp. Best movie I've seen so far in 2025. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ_nslZBEzk
]]>After serving up what will be a strong contender for the worst movie of 2025, it is enough to make one suspect that the Russo Bros are willfully trying to destroy their own careers and the studios they work for by deliberately making overpriced, unwatchable, forgettable piles of shit. My review for 'The Electric State': www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLKojLzcaX0
]]>I had high hopes for 'Mickey 17', but I have to it that the final product is a disappointing stumble for fans of Bong Joon Ho's earlier work. My review: youtube.com/watch?v=XkW8bviRaxM
]]>If you're looking for a surprise Sci-Fi Valentine's Day treat with killer action and plenty of sex appeal, Scott Derrickson's 'The Gorge' has you covered. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtrpZfk-ffI
]]>‘Captain America: Brave New World’ might be superior to a lot of recent Marvel slop like ‘Secret Invasion’, ‘Echo’, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’, ‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ and ’The Marvels’, but everything about this latest film, from the action to the music to the visual style, feels pretty limp when compared to the previous 3 Captain America movies. My review: youtu.be/jiEn2xbOw_I?si=3eWiXheY1kU8T9Hi
]]>Like his father Anthony Perkins, Osgood Perkins is rapidly turning into a superstar of the horror genre. His adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Monkey' is the kind of warped, demented dark comedy that we so rarely get to see. My spoiler-free review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5qYTPUtwZ4
]]>50 years ago, ‘Shampoo’ made its premiere at a private screening for Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol in New York followed by its official premiere the following day. Check out my flashback review for one of my favorite movies of the Seventies: youtu.be/dQ4SyNnMPUs?si=dVqX7sR3oE0cTkZ5
]]>For the first third or so, Paolo Sorrentino's new movie 'Parthenope' is as beautiful and mesmerizing as any film fan could hope for. The rest? Less so. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_6DjHsrn_I
]]>I got totally blindsided by 'Heart Eyes'. I expected a generic predictable slasher movie, but instead I got a rip roaring good time at the movies that had me pretty much laughing from start to finish. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=46sH0cMeyCE
]]>I was a little disappointed by 'Companion' overall, but I was blown away by Sophie Thatcher who stole the show in each and every scene. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-TS7rsDZkE
]]>Well the first contender for the worst movie of 2025 has officially arrived. 'Star Trek: Section 31' is humiliating for everyone involved. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rV9s15wa9c
]]>Mel Gibson's latest movie as director, 'Flight Risk', is not particularly good, but is strangely still kind of watchable as a 90-minute trashy genre film. But the sooner he gets back to directing epics, the better. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfdUxDMkzzY
]]>After all these decades of successfully hopping between genres, Steven Soderbergh has finally made a fantastic low-budget horror movie with the help of screenwriting vet David Koepp. Definitely worth hunting down in the theater just to see Soderbergh's brilliant work as his own director of photography. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y2i5T6LLQY
]]>Caught ‘The Brutalist’ last night in 70mm and I have to say that I’m thrilled and delighted to discover a young filmmaker like Brady Corbet who believes that film should aspire to be more than dying franchises shot in front of a green screen. Both an epic of the human spirit and a thrilling celebration of artists mad with ambition, this is one of the best movies of the year. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKmsZzRw_0A
]]>While I was a little skeptical in advance, I can't deny experiencing chills multiple times while watching #ACompleteUnknown. When Timothée Chalamet and Monica Barbaro perform side-by-side, it all comes together. My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPDd3kA0ALI
]]>#KraventheHunter is yet another drab, lifeless superhero project from Sony. After 3 dreadful Spider-Man spin-off movies in one year, it's enough to make me suspect that Sony is deliberately trying to kill off superhero movies once and for all. My review: youtube.com/watch?v=I-b9SANG3zY
