When TV shows and movies are life…
HERETIC is not only one of the best movies I have seen so far at TIFF, but it is one of the most brilliant horror films I have seen period. From its cerebral script to its enigmatic lead performances from Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East, this film has all of the makings to… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Heretic
With a name like "NIGHTBITCH," you should know you are in for it. But let's be real, little can prepare you for a movie about a woman who is convinced she is turning into a dog. The always-excellent writer/director Marielle Heller delivers a funny, intelligent catharsis about female rage and the isolating experience of motherhood.… Continue reading Movie Review: Nightbitch
Gia Coppola's THE LAST SHOWGIRL is an unflinching character study about a woman regretting how her career decisions negatively impacted her most important relationships. With an exciting performance from Pamela Anderson, gorgeous cinematography, and some pretty on-the-point soundtrack choices at the perfect moments, this film is one I anticipate will continue to garner buzz throughout… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: The Last Showgirl
WE LIVE IN TIME, directed by John Crowley, is an exceptional, enchanting love story that is sure to be a new romantic classic. The relationship between Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh is the backbone of the film, and their chemistry absolutely sizzles off the screen; it's easy to see why their characters first fell in… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: We Live In Time
TIFF's opening night film, NUTCRACKERS, is a saccharine family holiday film that is full of tired clichés and predictable plot points. So much so, from the second the movie opened with Ben Stiller stepping out of his Porsche into unidentified animal poop, I knew we were in for it. Don't get me wrong, the film… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Nutcrackers
In just under a week, I will be attending one of my favorite film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This Festival is not only a lead-up to Awards season but features many of my most anticipated movies of the year. More than that, with the strike not being a factor this year, I… Continue reading My Most Anticipated Movies at TIFF 2024!
One of the best movies of the year is one you may not have heard about. STRANGE DARLING, written and directed by JT Mollner, is a smart and clever psychological thriller that is a perfect example of a film not giving away too much in the trailer. This says a lot because the whole reason… Continue reading Movie Review: Strange Darling
If you're anything like me, the ALIEN franchise has changed the way you feel about episodes of heartburn. And if the latest entry in the franchise, ALIEN: ROMULUS, is any indication, you won't be feeling comfortable about that pain in your chest anytime soon. Writer/director Fede Àlvarez swings for the fences, leaning significantly more into… Continue reading Movie Review- Alien: Romulus
Let me immediately cut to the chase (pun intended) and answer the question you’re all wondering. TWISTERS is a fun and entertaining summer blockbuster, but it in no way holds a candle to its predecessor TWISTER (1996). Still, the CGI is intense, the sound design is loud and immersive, and the lead performances—especially from Glen… Continue reading Movie Review: Twisters
From the opening spine-chilling scene of Osgood Perkins' LONGLEGS, it's clear that this film isn't your average, run-of-the-mill horror movie. It's a haunting serial killer-focused psychological thriller that will keep its hooks in you long after you leave the theater... particularly in trying to figure out the film's more supernatural elements. Nicolas Cage's downright creepy… Continue reading Movie Review: Longlegs
