I’m a fan of media that reveals information to the person consuming it by showing rather than telling. Putting the pieces of information together about what you’re being presented can be really fun and make an otherwise relatively simple plot way more interesting. Strange Darling accomplishes this very well. It cheats a little by giving Read more

Imagine mixing April Fool’s Day with a 2020 version of “MTV’s The Real World” and you’ll have Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. The film premise is so simple it’s almost not important; a group of rich kid friends (kind of) get together during a hurricane to hang out and drink and do drugs, but when a party Read more

Low budget movies are generally not something generally I seek out, but when they are done well I usually enjoy them.

If Jurassic Park and Princess Mononoke had a baby and it was raised by Edgar Wright, this is what you would get. A horror-comedy where most of the comedy comes from interesting ways a unicorn can kill someone, Death of a Unicorn doesn’t take itself seriously at all (other than the subplot of Paul Rudd Read more

From one of The Whitest Kids You Know Zach Cregger continues the trend of sketch comedians creating awesome horror (I mean, sure, it’s probably only him and Jordan Peele, but it’s still weird). His follow up to Barbarian is more ambitious in both it’s story and the way it tells it. The set-up: a bunch Read more
