A ★★★★½ review of The Avengers (2012)
My toxic crush on Ruffalo's Banner is much stronger than Hulk's smash. This aged tremendously well.

A ★★★★ review of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
A tremendously artistic and layered debut from the director/writer/actor John Cameron Mitchell. I was lucky enough to catch a screening with my partner hosted by John himself, and although this isn't ...

A ★★★½ review of Frankenhooker (1990)
The third act goes full Cronenberg which saves John Water's Weird Science from its unlikable protagonist.

If this ain't what 14 year-old me wanted when the Predator concept was originally introduced to me, I'd be a goddamn liar. Thanks for giving a damn, Dan Trachtenberg. A true understanding of what the ...

It's not hard to recall that in 2020, trailers released for Sonic the Hedgehog and the public uproar for how awful the titular character looked caused the studio to fix it. So why didn't the same happ...

A ★★★★ review of The Ninth Configuration (1980)
I'm logging this days later and I'm still pondering its vibes. And the fact that Hershel from The Walking Dead is fucking Cutshaw.

A ★★★ review of Predators (2010)
I always want to like this more than I do. Predators starts strong but really suffers from over-exposition and Adrien Brody's desire to be in this movie.

A ★★★★★ review of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
This is a Top 10 for me. Few films get right to the core and bring actual joy to my face as it unfolds. Its exhaustingly creative and original, and hey everybody it's Sarah Polley!
