Some are comedies, and others are very serious fare, such as The Inspection. In this film, Elegance Bratton writes and directs what amounts to a movie about his time in bootContinue reading “The Inspection Review”

The Whale Review
Darren Aronofsky is a director that isn’t for everybody. His films are a little offbeat. That’s not surprising though to most film fans or critics. We’ve been watching his films for a while now. I started watching his films with Requiem For a Dream and Pi. The Fountain wasn’t one of my favorites of hisContinue reading “The Whale Review”
Aftersun Review
Father-daughter or father-son movies have been a genre that has usually had some good films. It is a genre that pulls at the heartstrings and brings out the emotions of the characters depicted in the movie. These types of films usually have dramatic moments or tough love that parents can give to their children. AndContinue reading “Aftersun Review”
Stars at Noon Review
Stars at Noon is the second film of 2022 for fence filmmaker Claire Denis. The other one, Both Sides of the Blade starring Juliette Binoche and Vincent Lindon (Titane) was almost unwatchable. Her film High Life from 2018 starring Robert Pattinson was quite the contrary. I was totally engaged by this man living on aContinue reading “Stars at Noon Review”
Pearl Review

There have been a few movies about cartoonists before but none of them have been as weird and off the wall as Funny Pages. This film is a cross between American Splendor and a coming-of-age film. It has a period look to it that takes place back in the 80s but it’s a modern film.Continue reading “Funny Pages Review”

You have a young couple meeting their friends at a secluded mansion on a mountain during a hurricane.Continue reading “Bodies Bodies Bodies Review”

Everything Everywhere All At Once Review
In film history, there have been quite a few irreverent filmmakers with a style all their own. They’ve made some very unique films. A more recent pair of oddball filmmakers are the Daniels: Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Their movie Swiss Army Man took the world by storm back in 2016. The Death of Dick Long, not soContinue reading “Everything Everywhere All At Once Review”
X Review
The horror genre has done pretty much everything ever since movies have existed. So it’s hard to do something original and new. That being said, X tried to be original while also falling back on horror tropes we’ve come to know for decades now. They deserve the benefit of the doubt because despite falling back on thingsContinue reading “X Review”
