Clayface (2026) Review: A Twisted Gotham Horror Story That Almost Gets Everything Right
I have seen Clayface, and honestly, I think this movie is going to be a mixed bag for a lot of people. The DCU has had its ups and downs so far, but in my opinion, Clayface is one of the better entries in this universe. This is a much darker direction for DC, and I appreciate that the movie is willing to take some chances instead of playing things safe. Let’s start with the cast, because Tom Rhys Harries is fantastic as Matt Hagen, aka Clayface. I really enjoyed his performan

Street Fighter Review: Great Fights, Too Many Jokes, and a Missed Opportunity
Street Fighter is a martial arts comedy, so going into it, I already knew this wasn't going to be a completely serious movie. And honestly, I was fine with that. I enjoyed parts of it, especially the fight choreography and some of the character moments, but I didn't love it. There's enough here for fans of the games to have a good time, but the constant lowbrow humor started getting on my nerves, especially when the movie was trying to build up a serious moment. Set in 1993,

Whalefall Review: Austin Abrams Delivers a Heart-Pounding Survival Thriller
Whalefall is a 2026 survival thriller based on the 2023 novel by Daniel Kraus. Directed by Brian Duffield, the film follows Jay Gardiner, played by Austin Abrams, and let me tell you, the situation Jay finds himself in is something I don't think any of us would ever want to experience. Honestly, Jay had no business being down there by himself in the first place! But as he goes deeper into the ocean, I found myself gripping my seat because you know things are only going to get

Animals Review: Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington Deserve a Better Netflix Thriller
SPOILER WARNING: This review contains major spoilers for Netflix's Animals. Netflix's Animals had all the ingredients for a gripping political thriller. Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington leading the cast? Check. A kidnapping involving a political family? Check. Gillian Anderson playing a mysterious fixer, with Steven Yeun thrown into the mix as a shady campaign manager? Sign me up. Unfortunately, somewhere between its promising setup and increasingly ridiculous conclusion, Ani

‘Heart of the Beast’ Review: Brad Pitt and Uber Deliver an Emotional Survival Thriller
I went into Heart of the Beast thinking this may suck, especially after I was let down by The Dog Stars. Yes, I know they are two completely different films that just so happen to feature a man and his dog on the key art, but I couldn’t help making the comparison. Thankfully, I left Heart of the Beast feeling completely different. The film stars Brad Pitt as James Belmont, a veteran and retired Army Special Forces officer who wants to spend time with his former combat dog, Od

‘Buddy’ Review: Keegan-Michael Key Shines in a Messy, Very Weird Horror Comedy
My daughter dragged me to see Buddy, and I only agreed because we made a deal: if she watched E.T., I would go see Buddy with her. After sitting through it, I would like my money back. I should probably start by admitting that I am not a horror movie person, but Buddy is not really a traditional horror movie anyway. It plays more like a horror comedy, poking fun at the bright, overly cheerful children’s television shows many of us grew up watching. Think Barney & Friends, exc

Practical Magic 2 Review: Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman Still Have the Magic
I never thought I would see Magenta and Blue Beetle kissing, but this movie gave me a DC crossover! Sandra Bullock always gets a new man, and well, I get it!! She looks amazing!!! Also this film feels like a soft reboot of the franchise. The Owens sisters are back for another adventure, and while this one doesn’t really raise the stakes all that much, I still found myself enjoying it. I’m going to be honest, I just watched the first Practical Magic Monday afternoon. While I e

‘Why Did I Get Married Again?’ Review: Nostalgia Can Only Carry the Reunion So Far
There’s something comforting about seeing the Why Did I Get Married? crew together again. These are characters audiences have known for years, and Why Did I Get Married Again? understands that nostalgia is a huge part of why people are showing up for another chapter. Unfortunately, while I enjoyed spending time with this group again, I walked away wishing the writing had given them a stronger reason to return. The movie catches up with the couples years after we last saw them

By Any Means Review: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Shines in a Heavy True Story That Still Finds Room to Breathe
There are certain subjects I tend to stay away from when it comes to movies, and stories centered on racism in the Deep South and the Ku Klux Klan are usually high on that list. It is not because those stories should not be told, they absolutely should but because they can be emotionally exhausting to sit through, especially when we already know how ugly this chapter of American history was. So I went into By Any Means knowing the subject matter probably wasn't going to be an

Idiots Movie Review: This Raunchy Comedy Is Way Better Than Expected
Newest raunchy comedy that I actually like! I honestly wasn't expecting much going into Idiots, but this movie surprised me. It's the kind of raunchy comedy that knows exactly what it wants to be, and thankfully, it doesn't take itself too seriously. There are plenty of ridiculous moments, some completely unhinged characters, and a surprisingly good story underneath all of the craziness. The movie opens with O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s character, Davis, getting scolded by a pastor a

The Dog Stars Review: Ridley Scott’s Apocalypse Drama Finds Its Heart in Grief and Humanity
Going into The Dog Stars completely blind might have been the best way to experience it. I hadn't watched a trailer, never read Peter Heller's novel and knew very little beyond what could be gathered from the key art. Clearly, something had gone very wrong with the world, but based on the title and imagery, I expected a relatively straightforward post apocalyptic story about a man trying to survive alongside his dog. Well, I got part of that right. Ridley Scott's The Dog Star

The Invite Movie Review: Penélope Cruz Steals Olivia Wilde’s Darkly Funny Dinner Party
I finally got around to watching The Invite, the latest film starring and directed by Olivia Wilde. Also starring Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, the film follows a married couple (Rogen and Wilde) who are struggling with their relationship. In an attempt to reconnect, they invite their neighbours (Cruz and Norton) over for a dinner party, only for the evening to spiral into some very unexpected places.

The End of Oak Street Review: Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway Fight Dinosaurs, and Somehow It Works
Never thought I'd see Obi-Wan and Catwoman fighting dinosaurs, but I'm here for it! While they may have used some questionable promotional techniques, this film does not disappoint. The End of Oak Street combines time travel with dinosaurs and basically gives you Jurassic World on crack!! I went into this movie with pretty mid expectations, but I am pleased to say that I loved every minute of this film. The movie is set in 1982 in a small town on Oak Street. It starts with a
