Some movies grab you by the collar and pull you into a world that’s messy, uncomfortable, and, let’s be real, a little too close to the reality we’d rather avoid. Manic is one of those films. It doesn’t hold your hand or offer you a cushion to soften the blow. Instead, it delivers a gut-punch…
Let’s start with the premise. Two brothers, conjoined at the hip, navigating life together in ways that are equal parts hilarious and touching. Now, if that setup makes you squirm, I get it—it sounds like one of those over-the-top Hollywood gimmicks cooked up to bait easy laughs. But Stuck on You, the Farrelly brothers’ comedy…
Horror movies aren’t usually a space where faith takes center stage. They’re more about jump scares, unsettling visuals, and eerie soundtracks than soul-searching questions about belief, doubt, and the human condition. Yet, The Last Exorcism, directed by Daniel Stamm, dives into these deeper waters, offering a mix of chills and provocations that leave viewers grappling…
Movies based on young adult novels often walk a tightrope, balancing appeal for a broad audience with fidelity to their source material. Yet, few adaptations step into the arena with the precision and force of The Hunger Games. Directed by Gary Ross and featuring a career-defining performance by Jennifer Lawrence, the film is an unflinching…
How often do we stop and think about the grandeur above us? I’m not talking about skyscrapers or planes slicing through the clouds—I mean the endless, velvet-dark void that blankets our world, punctuated by specks of light. Space Station 3D, an IMAX film that takes us 350 kilometers above Earth, attempts to shrink that vastness…
In 2017, Stephen King’s It floated back into the cultural zeitgeist, reimagined as a chilling cinematic experience that both terrifies and tugs at the heart. It’s not just another horror flick; it’s a layered exploration of fear, childhood, and the haunting echoes of trauma. But what does it look like when viewed through the lens…
In the crowded world of modern horror, where jump scares often substitute for substance, Censor strides into the room like a whispered dare. Prano Bailey-Bond’s debut feature isn’t interested in pandering or cheap thrills. Instead, it digs deep into the muddy waters of morality, trauma, and our collective relationship with the macabre. It’s set against…
Some films don’t scream their themes at you. Instead, they lean in, almost whispering, inviting you to notice the tension beneath the surface. Drinking Buddies, Joe Swanberg’s subtle exploration of relationships, choices, and human nature, fits this description perfectly. It’s not a movie that hands you a clean narrative with moral ribbons tied tightly at…
Some movies sneak up on you, don’t they? You sit down expecting light laughs, maybe a touch of nostalgia, and instead, you find yourself grappling with questions about life, love, and what it means to grow up. Big is one of those films. It’s a comedy, sure. It’s a fantasy, absolutely. But it’s also a…
Some movies are laugh-out-loud funny. Some are cringe-inducing. Then there’s Cyrus, a film that dares to exist in the awkward, messy space between the two. It’s part comedy, part emotional excavation, and wholly unlike the typical summer blockbuster. Directed by the Duplass brothers, this quirky indie film walks a delicate line between hilarity and discomfort….
