THE LITTLE MERMAID REVIEW: HALLE BAILEY SOARS BUT LEAVE THIS FILM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
There is a moment in the new live action THE LITTLE MERMAID when you realize all the songs from the infamous Disney film have been performed. The film feels far from complete however and you notice there is still an entire hour left. While runtimes have been debated for far too long and a long…
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 REVIEW. JAMES GUNN GIVES THE GUARDIANS A PERFECT SEND OFF SET TO THE BEST TUNE
There is no way around reviewing this movie without acknowledging that this critic is a child of adoption. And it could be the strongest reason on the finding so much connection in a franchise that is built on new found family. A story all about the adventures of a group of misfits that have somehow…
BEAU IS AFRAID REVIEW: ARI ASTER’S ANXIETY ODYSSEY IS BASICALLY A LOONEY TUNES EPISODE
To say that Beau is afraid is the understatement of the year. It would be more appropriate to state it as “Beau is fucking terrified of every single thing imaginable.” A schlepp of a man, Beau (Joaquin Phoenix) is the epitome of where all our anxiety goes when it is not just as its worst,…

THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE REVIEW: WORSE THAN FALLING OFF RAINBOW ROAD

It’s actually just straight bullshit that so many have been able to harness. The latest destruction in its path is connecting us back to those memories of playing…
AIR REVIEW: BEN AFFLECK AND TEAM WIN BIG REDEFINING A LEGACY
Some bets are risky and other bets are plain stupid. Betting against Ben Affleck is a fools game. The actor/director/writer/producer (and now studio head) has had a career that has taken a second life and then a second life after that. Turning to directing films in 2007 with the crime thriller “Gone Baby Gone” showed…
A GOOD PERSON REVIEW: FLORENCE PUGH EXCELS AS A TRUE JERSEY GIRL IN ZACH BRAFF’S ADDCITION DRAMA
A few decades ago Zach Braff was an indie critical darling. Any liberal arts college dorm hall you walked by was full of The Shins or Cary Brothers playing due to Braff’s emo Jersey love letter “Garden State.” The film has now become synonymous with obnoxious white males telling their dream fantasy of a woman…
SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS BREAKDOWN REVIEW: ANOTHER DC HERO COMES CRASHING DOWN
SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS, a sequel to the 2019 film that introduced us to Asher Angel and Zachary Levi as the titular hero is now out and unfortunately it is yet another step in the wrong direction for Warner Brothers and the DC Extended Universe (or whatever is left of it). David F. Sandberg…
