★★★☆☆ 3.0 / 5 Stars Heart of the Beast is the kind of simple, old-school survival movie that knows exactly what it wants to be — and honestly, I had a great time with it. David Ayer’s new film stars Brad Pitt as an Army veteran who, along with his veteran combat dog Odin, … [Read more…]
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5 Stars Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime is one of the weirdest, most fascinating, and flat-out entertaining movies I’ve seen all year. It’s a movie about To Catch a Predator, Chris Hansen, online culture, ambition, obsession, morality, and the strange machinery behind one of the most infamous television shows of the 2000s. Somehow, … [Read more…]
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5 Stars Hot off Barbarian and Weapons, two fantastic horror entries, Zach Cregger takes on Resident Evil, a franchise that’s been around for nearly 30 years with a diehard PlayStation fanbase, close to a dozen games, and now eight movie adaptations. This is a huge departure from the Milla Jovovich/Paul W.S. … [Read more…]
With an aging core, it’s all-in mode for Baltimore this season Before getting to the business of a new NFL season, lets go back to 2025, which was a year to forget for the Baltimore Ravens. As was the case for campaigns prior, the Ravens were a favorite to represent the AFC in the Super … [Read more…]
★★★★★ 4.5 / 5 Stars Na Hong-jin’s new South Korean monster movie feels like someone took Mad Max, Red Dawn, The Incredible Hulk, Heat, Aliens, Jaws, and a Michael Bay Transformers movie, threw them all into a blender, and somehow made a smoothie out of it. I have absolutely no idea how you describe … [Read more…]
★★★☆☆ 3.0 / 5 Stars I honestly can’t believe Warner Bros. almost didn’t release this movie. Wile E. Coyote vs. Acme had such a tortured history. The movie was shelved, people were understandably pissed, there was a huge uproar, and thankfully, they eventually listened and put it out. And thank God they did, because … [Read more…]
If Red Rising was the book that introduced me to this universe, Golden Son was the book that completely hooked me. I enjoyed the first book and thought it had an incredible foundation, but there was something about starting Golden Son that felt different. It jumps ahead two years, Darrow is no longer the kid … [Read more…]
★★☆☆☆ 2.0 / 5 Stars So, I just got out of Buddy, the new horror-comedy from Casper Kelly, and… this movie is fucking weird. And I mean that in the best way possible. The movie stars Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace, Keegan-Michael Key, and a group of fantastic young actors, including Delaney Quinn, Caleb Williams, … [Read more…]
★★☆☆☆ 2.0 / 5 Stars Ridley Scott is 88 years old and somehow continues to work at a ridiculous pace. If I’m remembering correctly, The Dog Stars marks his fifth movie in five years, which is pretty incredible. And while I wouldn’t say Ridley Scott is on cruise control here—because there are still plenty … [Read more…]
I finished the original Red Rising trilogy this weekend, and I’ve already decided I want to write about each book individually. There is just too much to say about all three at once. But before I get into Golden Son and Morning Star, I want to go back to where it all started: Red Rising. … [Read more…]
