Kevin Smith has always been one of those filmmakers you either get, or you don’t. He’s the guy who gave us Clerks, which is raw, funny, a little vulgar, and surprisingly deep if you stop to think about it. Smith has a way of luring you in with what seems like just another slacker comedy…
When you read the title Winner, it does not suggest “political drama” or “moral dilemma.” And that is interesting. Bryan Fogel’s latest feature, Winner, explores a significant critique of the American political machinery; at the same time, it adopts a bizarrely light—if not childish—tone. In other words, Winner is not going to develop as a…
Let’s talk about “Speak No Evil.” James Watkins’ remake isn’t just another horror film you casually throw on for a couple of jumps and thrills. No, it digs deeper, reaching into the dark, twisted corners of human behavior, where politeness, fear, and cultural differences meet a horrifying end. For those who watch movies with a…
How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies. Sounds like a riotous comedic set up, doesn’t it? You can almost envision the premise: A family scurries around possibly pillaging grandma of an inheritance; think cheeky comedic animal names, slapstick shenanigans, in-fighting among greedy relatives. Spoiler alert: it’s not that. While this Thai melodrama sounds as if…
In the world of action movies, it’s not often that we get something that tries to merge the exhilarating thrill of high-octane fight scenes with the lighter, more heartwarming charm of a romantic comedy. But The Killer’s Game steps right up to that challenge, tossing Dave Bautista into the mix as a rom-com lead, while…
Some films are less about what happens and more about how they make you feel. Matt and Mara is one of those films, steeped in ambiguity, longing, and missed connections. It takes place in modern-day Toronto, but its emotional setting feels timeless: a space where two people share a history that simultaneously binds and pushes…
As I sat watching Girls Will Be Girls, Shuchi Talati’s debut feature, it was like stepping into a quiet storm. On the surface, it feels like a simple story of motherhood, girlhood, and all the aching in between. But beneath that subtle, almost still exterior, there’s a stirring—a deeper emotional undercurrent that tugs at something…
In a world flooded with YA dystopian films, Uglies is yet another entry that, quite frankly, doesn’t do much to stand out. There’s a growing fatigue with the genre, a sort of weariness from audiences who’ve seen the same themes regurgitated over and over—rebellion, individuality, and the dangers of a society that prizes conformity over…
“The Critic”—a film set in 1930s London—is one of those period dramas that catches you off guard. It pulls you into its dark, twisted world with a kind of hypnotic allure, leaving you both intrigued and uneasy by the time the credits roll. As Christians, we approach films like this with a unique lens, looking…
Let’s be honest, analyzing comedy can sometimes feel like dissecting a joke—by the time you’re done, all the humor is gone. But with Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut), you’re dealing with something that invites that kind of deep dive. In fact, it feels like this documentary almost demands it. With six hours…
