Let’s be clear, Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear is likely to be dumb as shit. And sure it’s based on an actual event, but like most movies that make that claim it’s likely to neglect the more pertinent details of the story, which is that four-legged animals can overdose – and die – just as easily […]
I recently discovered the trailer for Porno, and it’s looks to be pretty good. Typically horror-comedies lean too far one way or the other, ending up neither fish nor fowl. For instance, I enjoy An American Werewolf In London (1981) but a lot of the humor falls flat. In fact, if it weren’t for the […]
Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah’s Bad Boys For Life is a movie that cost $90 million to produce, yet somehow manages to look cheap. Which in an odd way is a feat. And as much as one can criticize Michael Bay–the director of the prior two movies in the franchise–there’s no denying that his […]
Tyler Cornack’s Butt Boy isn’t what you likely think it is based upon the title. It’s a lot weirder than that.
When I started watching Netflix’s I Am Not Okay With This I hadn’t read anything about it prior, so it was a pleasant surprise. If I’m going to watch a comedy I tend to prefer extremes in that it’s either insanely stupid, like The Three Stooges, or bizarre, like Top Secret. Though combine horror with […]
Vivarium was directed by Lorcan Finnegan, and he happens to be a director I’m familiar with, having seen his 2016 movie, Without Name. Speaking of Without Name, it was okay though the concept when all is said and done was more interesting than the execution. Now Vivarium…this looks interesting! It reminds me vaguely of The […]
Netflix’s The October Faction is based on a graphic novel–which I haven’t read–though I think it’s really interesting that they haven’t surrendered the comics space to Disney+ and DC Universe. Which reminds me, if Netflix is looking to adapt a property, why not consider Dark Horse’s Comics Greatest World franchise? Sure, it was canceled but […]
Why does this movie exist? And why is it co-written by Gil Kenan, the same person who graced us with the remake of Poltergeist–another movie that had no reason to be? Say what you will about Ghostbusters 2016, that movie at least had something to say. You may not have agreed with it, but it […]
When I heard all the buzz revolving around Pheobe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag I don’t know what I expected, though what I didn’t expect was to “meet” a character that was in many ways extremely unlikable. She’s a thief, a bit of a liar and has a really irritating tendency of talking to the camera, less a […]
If anyone had told me that there was a movie being released based on the 1968 television show I would have laughed because there’s no way today’s Internet-savvy children would get into for a bunch of guys running around like idiots in costumes. Then if you had added that it would be a horror/comedy I […]
