Low Budget, Hot Action: Our Review of ‘Striking Rescue’

Thai actor Tony Jaa made a name for himself making action movies such as Ong-Bak, but he never really made it big in North America. Sure, he made appearances in films such as Furious 7, The Expendables 4 and Monster Hunter, but all of those movies starred bigger name actors who pushed him to the […]

Out of the Trailer Park: Our Review of ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties’

It’s hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since the Trailer Park Boys premiered, but all it takes is one look at the stars of the show and see how old they’ve gotten to know it’s true. The last couple of seasons of the show weren’t as good as the original run was, so […]

America Has A Problem: Our Review of ‘La Cocina’

Alonso Ruizpalacios’ La Cocina puts its titular setting in the forefront, getting inevitable comparisons to The Bear. And there’s two ways of looking at the events that occur here, one being that this kind of work is a roller coaster. Some good things happening to our protagonist Pedro (Raul Briones) cancel out the bad stuff. […]

She’s Just Like Me For Real: Our Review of ‘The People’s Joker’ on MUBI

The Peoples Joker, like every cult film, has its share of detractors, who call it a clumsy autobiography. Those two words aptly describe Vera Drew’s feature length ‘fictional’ debut, but I’m also kind of into its approach. A boring wannabe academic may even chalk up the rough CG as reflective of the Joker (Ms. Drew). […]

Easter Eggs for Geeks: Our Review of ‘The Return’ (2024)

It’s a shame to say that I, like most millennials and younger generations, don’t know their Greek mythology much. That, or what we know comes from The Simpsons, even if Wikipedia or the primary texts are available. The Return, from director Uberto Pasolni, is presumably book accurate with a mix of demystification and postmodern existentialism. […]

The Kids Will Love It: Our Review of ‘Moana 2’

The sequels to Disney’s animated features don’t typically receive theatrical runs (Pixar works excluded). But we live in a brave new, IP-driven world, and so one of Disney’s most popular titles in recent memory is coming to a multiplex near year. Welcome, Moana 2! The second installment picks up three years after the original adventures […]

Odd Future: Our Review of ‘Rhythm + Flow US, Season 2, Part 2′

Previously on Rhythm + Flow, Dj Khaled, Latto, and Ludacris serve as judges, sharing the screen with young, aspiring musicians. This season has a weird structure where auditions and challenges take up random lengths of episodes that weird me out. I give this season a pass because of the new talent it’s exposing me to. […]
