Michael: Is it Bad?
MICHAEL (2026) Let’s get this out of the way. If you’re looking for a no-holds-barred, boundaries-pushing film that delves deep into the highs and pits of Michael Jackson’s entire and storied life…well…I’d beat it if I were you. Imagine a prestige, made-for-tv style, rags-to-riches musician biopic, generically and chronologically told with some Hollywood a’ish-listers (Colman…

Ladies First: Better than Barbie
LADIES FIRST (2026) If you loved or even liked the Barbie (2023) movie, you may want to move on and look elsewhere for your review of Ladies First (2026). However, if you too found it to be sappy, depressing, preachy, so-called feminist slop, Ladies First could be the antidote you didn’t know you needed. Needless…

Top Five Worst Films of 2025
These lists are bullshit. Movies, film, art, blockbusters…they are designed to entertain us in exchange for money. It’s a system and that’s okay, as it’s what we got and it works for now. The good ones make us feel; feel excited, annoyed, joy, and away from our lives for a short while as we experience…

Monster: The Ed Gein Story Review: A mamma’s boy in the making
MONSTER: THE ED GEIN STORY (2025) Multiple things can be true at once. Just ask Ed Gein. He’s been dead since 1984, so that’s not possible, nonetheless his perspective is the subject of the third installment of the Monster anthology series, following Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022) and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez…

Jurassic World Rebirth Review: Second born
JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH (2025) No. It is not as good as the original. But it is the second best in the franchise. And…to quote Jennifer Aniston from Picture Perfect (1997), “…that ain’t bad”. It’s great actually, once you get past it not being the first and best. Director Gareth Edwards has fashioned a fun adventure…

Wrecked Review: Wrecked ’em? Damn near killed ’em!
WRECKED (2010) With Adrien Brody winning the 2025 Oscar for Best Actor for The Brutalist (2024), we thought a review of a lesser-known Brody film that wasn’t well as well-received upon its release was in order.

Incoming Movie Review: Supergood
INCOMING (2024) Yes, we’ve been here before: A first week of high school teen comedy with an intimidating older kids’ party setting, crushing crushes on the just-beyond-your-reach dream girl, nerds, etc. Every generation cries out for an awkward insecure group of freshmen to navigate drugs, girls, bullies and diarrhea to commiserate with (or at least…

Subservience Movie Review: Terminator Rocks the Cradle
SUBSERVIENCE (2024) Whether or not it aimed to be, Subservience is a cheesy, campy good time with a very game Megan Fox (perfect casting). It’s not “so bad that it’s good”, but rather it’s a fun, low stakes fantasy sci-fi thriller that accomplishes exactly what it set out to do: entertain and looking good while…
