SCREAM is the most consistently good movie franchise in cinematic history. I challenge you to find another film series that has such longevity, with entertaining and exciting plot twists that even the most diehard fan doesn't see coming. SCREAM has never had to take the action to outer space (I'm looking at you FAST AND… Continue reading Movie Review: Scream 7
"WUTHERING HEIGHTS" had me in a chokehold until the closing credits. From the romantic, red-hot chemistry between Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, to the stunning costumes and set design, this movie is catnip for women (and don't worry, men will like it too). Though very different from the source material, writer/director Emerald Fennell leans into… Continue reading Movie Review: “Wuthering Heights”
The only thing that gives me confidence about a movie released in January is a movie released in January starring Rachel McAdams. McAdams is one of the most reliable actors in Hollywood. Looking at her filmography, it's hard to find many stinkers; she is calculated with her choices and it shows. So when I saw… Continue reading Movie Review: Send Help
I try to go into every movie with a positive outlook, but any movie opening in January deserves some healthy skepticism. Unfortunately, my fears were realized with MERCY. What starts as a creative premise quickly gives way to emotionless mediocrity, with telegraphed twists that will leave you feeling less than satisfied. It doesn't help that… Continue reading Movie Review: Mercy
Based on Freida McFadden's best-selling novel, THE HOUSEMAID is a twisted, campy thriller that is sure to leave you entertained and cheering from your seat. For anyone that hasn't read the book, it's best going into this movie knowing as little as possible; I think you'll enjoy it more. And for fans of the book,… Continue reading Movie Review: The Housemaid
Netflix's TRAIN DREAMS is one of the most underrated, beautiful films of the year. Based on the novella by Denis Johnson, the film follows Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) in a moving, emotional portrait of his adult life from the early 1900s to the late 1960s. From life's love stories to its tragedies, its monotony to… Continue reading Train Dreams Interview: Joel Edgerton, William H. Macy, Adolpho Veloso, and Clint Bentley
The second part of the WICKED film, WICKED: FOR GOOD, was always going to have giant silver (not ruby) slippers to fill, which is both a testament to the success of its predecessor and commentary on the overarching question... did WICKED really need to be turned into two films? But the good news is, even… Continue reading Movie Review- Wicked: For Good
ROOFMAN, written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, is one of my favorite movies so far this year and one of the best films I saw at the Toronto International Film Festival. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, the film follows Jeff (Channing Tatum), a down on his luck military veteran who turns to a life… Continue reading Interview: Roofman Director, Derek Cianfrance
POETIC LICENSE is a hilariously entertaining comedy with an ambitious directorial debut from Maude Apatow. It's hard to believe this is her first film, because she expertly balances an ensemble cast, as well as the script's complex tone, which has a lot of emotion within the comedic moments. More than anything, I also love that… Continue reading Movie Review: Poetic License
I was on a high, excited that I hadn't seen a bad film so far during my time at the Toronto International Film Festival. All of that changed, however, when I saw THE SMASHING MACHINE, which is the most disappointing film I have seen this year. Admittedly, I had high hopes—I love fighting movies and… Continue reading Movie Review: The Smashing Machine
