Chocolate Babies (1996)
Would it be too redundant to call a movie “the ACT UP version of Born in Flames”? Born in Flames was already a pro-queer, pro-safe-sex, pro-sex-worker activism piece made in New York Ci…

Naughty New Orleans (1954)
It’s Carnival time in New Orleans, when civic pride is its most glowingly beautiful. This is not always an easy city to live in, but it is an easy city to love, and Mardi Gras is our annual r…

Armand — There's enough evidence to argue that Isabelle Adjani's interpretive-dance tunnel freakout in Possession is the most influential movie scene of the current moment. It's now so ubiquitous that it's influencing procedural dramas about tense parent-teacher conferences
Armand (2025)
There is currently an American remake of Andrei Żuławski’s monstrous divorce meltdown Possession in the works, to be directed by Smile’s Parker Finn and produced by Robert Pattinson. Th…

Dark Match (2025)
Very early on in the first year of Swampflix, I reviewed a bad-on-purpose horror comedy called WolfCop, about a werewolf who’s “half man, half wolf, and all cop”. I remember havin…

Feels Good Man (2020) is a documentary about the memeification of a cartoon stoner frog that somehow does a better job explaining America's current Nazi resurgence than any other film I've seen. Evil has never been so inane

Exceptionally quiet for a story about the formation a rock n roll synth pop band, and exceptionally pale for an animated movie about the divine beauty of color. When all that restraint melts away during the final performance, though, it feels good enough to make you cry

Leans into the improbability of the found footage horror genre by strapping its GoPro to a ghost, so you don't question why the camera continues rolling; you only question why it's choosing to observe what we see (and to ignore what we don't)

Presence (2025)
There’s a playfulness in the basic tech and form of every Steven Soderbergh picture that invites us to wonder what new toy the director is going to be most excited to play with. However, ther…
