Death on the Nile isn’t just another murder mystery dressed up in vintage glamor. It’s a film that lingers on the edges of human frailty, drawing out emotions and moral dilemmas in ways both profound and entertaining. Kenneth Branagh’s take on Agatha Christie’s classic isn’t afraid to tamper with the source material—modernizing here, deepening characters…
Few films have divided audiences as thoroughly as Twilight. To some, it’s a sweeping, epic romance, a tale of forbidden love with brooding vampires and supernatural allure. To others, it’s a shallow indulgence, an overly sentimental teenage fantasy that elevates angst to an art form. And yet, it’s undeniably compelling—an emotional hurricane that took the…
Let’s get something straight right off the bat: All Good Things isn’t the kind of movie you walk away from feeling good about humanity. It’s dark, heavy, and unsettling in ways that make you wonder if you’re peering too far into the abyss. Inspired—if that’s the right word—by the infamous Robert Durst case, it takes…
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…
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….
In the ever-expanding world of streaming thrillers, Netflix’s The Madness barges in, grabs your attention, and dares you to look away. Anchored by Colman Domingo’s magnetic performance, the series dives headfirst into a messy labyrinth of distrust, paranoia, and societal critique. It’s sharp, chaotic, sometimes poignant—but for a Christian viewer, it’s worth asking: is it…
Every so often, a television show comes along that makes you sit up and pay attention—not because it’s perfect, but because it dares to be ambitious, even if it doesn’t always succeed. Paramount+ and Showtime’s The Agency is one of those shows. It’s an espionage thriller that leans more into the cerebral than the explosive,…
David Gordon Green’s Nutcrackers comes into the holiday lineup with a bit of nostalgia tucked under its arm. It’s not hard to see what Green was aiming for here—a throwback to the scrappy, heart-on-its-sleeve family comedies of the ’70s and ’80s, the kind that didn’t try too hard to be polished but somehow made their…
