Dave Franco with the mullet, Ed Harris with the skullet. It's not lost on me that A24 is one of the last movie studios that consistently releases movies that are risky, challenging and genuinely artistic. They're not perfect, but they've released plenty of...

White supremacy is a sad feature of the American experiment, not an outlier, not a bug, not abnormal. It's what the country was built on, tries to convince itself it wasn't, tries to push into the shadows and now, in our current moment, openly embraces it....

You couldn't ask more of a spinoff in the John Wick . I hesitate to say this was perfect, but it's very, very close. I mean, really close. Razor close. None of these movies shy away from violence. They love it. They revel in it. Everything is violence. The...

Gregg Olsen’s Cruel Deception is a faithful retelling of a factitious disorder imposed on another (originally Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP)). Equal time is given to the defendant and prosecution with yet more given to the children that were victimi...

🔨🔨⚾️ This manages to surpass The Raid . I didn't expect it to. Sequels rarely surpass the movie(s) that preceded them and they often can't exist without the context provided by those preceding films. But The Raid 2 is that rare exception. It's th...

I'd never heard of The Raid until I watched Havoc . Gareth Edwards directed both, the later was superb and the former — this particular movie — is essential. Whenever anyone holds up a list of action movies and proclaims it a list of the greatest actio...

Alright, let's get this out of the way: the premise of this movie and the original are ridiculous on their face. Next, I will watch anything with Jon Bernthal in it. No questions asked. He's in the cast and I'm there. The man commits to every role and elev...

Another Netflix Christmas movie. A $90,000,000 budget? That is wild. But it's good, it's the best Netflix movie I can remember watching (it's either that good or their movies are that forgettable — your pick). Gritty, but glowing, the aesthetic of this i...

I often look to the true crime genre for engaging narratives, detailed retellings of stories I'm perhaps only vaguely aware of and a simple interest in the genre. I wasn't aware if this case and I'm surprised I wasn't but it was overshadowed by other event...

Oof. A true crime compilation focused on the retelling of three horrific tails and their conclusions. Not essential, but gripping enough and thoroughly dark and detailed. Gird your guts, I guess. One of the tales is a precursor to Don't F**k with Cats: ...
