Best Cinematic Moments: Death Is Easy, Comedy Is Hard: Freddy Krueger, the Stand-Up Slasher in Dream Warriors

He’s a slasher who knows timing, delivery, and the value of a punchline.

Freddy doesn’t just haunt your dreams. He directs them.

Best Cinematic Moments: The Tantrum That Launched a Thousand Laughs in Wet Hot American Summer

Comedy doesn’t always need to be big. Sometimes it just needs to be true. And this, this is truth in its funniest possible form.

Weapons of Mass Disruption: A Grinning, Horrifying Panic Attack With Zach Cregger’s Weapons That Reloads The Horror Genre

There’s no question: Weapons is the best horror film in years. Maybe decades.

Weapons is scary as hell and darkly hilarious.

It’s a cinematic panic attack that grins while it guts you.

It crawled into my brain, redecorated, and now lives there rent-free.

The best horror film in years, hands down.

I may never sleep again.

The Gospel According to Mac and Me: Fries, Lies, and Aliens in 4K

It’s a film where a disabled protagonist saves the day, an alien is naturalized as a U.S. citizen, and everyone learns that the true meaning of life is Coca-Cola.

Comedy Is Stupid Again, Thank God.

The Naked Gun is the funniest film since “Netflix and chill” was still edgy.

Perhaps it’s time to update the phrase: The Naked Gun and f**k.

Because that’s what the movie does.

Season 14 of King of the Hill is proof that some shows don’t need reinvention to stay relevant.

They just need to keep being themselves. It’s still funny, still tender, and still sneakily profound.

Dust, Delusion, and N95s: Ari Aster’s Pandemic Western Eddington Takes No Prisoners.

If you’re brave enough to revisit the psychological circus of 2020, Eddington is essential viewing.
