Even as award-season buzz builds for last year’s films, it’s never too early to peek at what’s coming early-2022. Movies Coming Soon: The Worst Person in the World, February 4th Norwegian writer and director Joachim Trier is gaining a lot of momentum for this one. Actor Renate Reinsve has been praised for the way she plays Julie, a young woman “who navigates the troubled waters of her love life and struggles to find her career...

Scream is in one of my top two horror franchises of all time next to the Evil Dead. Though franchise long director, Wes Craven, has passed since the release of the last outing, I was excited at the announcement of a new entry. When I heard that the Ready or Not team was taking lead on this project, I only got more excited. While I’m happy to say that most of this new Scream works,...

Though the pandemic certainly got in the way of many typical movie releases, it has been a relatively good year for the cinema. DC films within Warner Bros. have come back with what I consider to be their best comic book adaptation, Marvel has also come back by taking up thirty percent of all of 2021’s box office returns (The Wrap), and there have been plenty of surprises as well. Before we get started, there...

Korean cinema has always had a special place in my heart. I can’t really explain why this is the case, but it is. Korean cinema has been bleeding into the US for quite some time with certain directors like Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho making films in English, along with certain films like Oldboy gaining international audiences. Though with the more recent successful releases of Parasite and Squid Game there has never been this much...

The anticipation is over and Dune has finally landed. The 2 and 1/2 hour epic was released on HBO Max and in theaters around the globe two weeks ago holding steady to the #1 spot in the boxoffice. If there’s one movie this year to get you off your couch and into a cineplex, it’s hard to imagine a better choice than Dune Covid-19 took its toll so hard on the film business, some wondered...

A new phase for Marvel means a new origin story. Or the same origin story for the twentieth time. I’m not going to lie, I thought a lot was going against this movie. Marvel origin stories have had a history of struggling, to the point where it was a good thing for a new character to be introduced inside the plot an ensemble movie rather than their first solo movie (i.e. Spider-Man and Black Panther)....

I saw Candyman in a theater with no one else in it, so I could scream for my Mother during the scary parts.  I considered the original Candyman to be an overlooked gem so I was excited when Jordan Peele announced that he was bringing back the story with Nia DaCosta writing and directing from a previous draft that he had worked on with Win Rosenfeld. Nia DaCosta can mostly stick the landing with a...

I’m a huge James Gunn fan. Putting some previous bad Twitter jokes aside he is a hilarious writer that can put together a heartwarming story with some exhilarating action and hyper gore when called for. A couple years back Disney fired Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy over some bad tweets, Warner Brothers approached over a DC film of his choice, he choice The Suicide Squad, and eventually Disney hired him back for Guardians of...
