A24 is a studio that has become known for its artsy, psychological horror films (The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), It Comes at Night (2017), Hereditary (2018), Midsommar (2019), The Lighthouse (2019)), and I myself have loved/been deeply disturbed by most of them. So, I was very excited to see their newest film from …
As I mentioned in my Last Night in Soho review on Friday, I love directors who have an artistic style that is distinctly theirs, and Wes Anderson is one filmmaker where his cinematic art is very unique to him. Wes Anderson films are must-see events for cinephiles as they are all works of quirky, comedic …
My favorite directors, and the directors that I find tend to make the best movies, are the ones that have a very distinct DNA in their films that make it completely theirs: Quentin Tarantino, Taika Waititi, Wes Anderson, Steven Spielberg just to name a few. Another such director is Edgar Wright, whose films such as …
The big name in horror that I always look forward to is the incredible director, James Wan. Between Saw (2004), Insidious (2010), and The Conjuring (2013) and The Conjuring 2 (2016), Wan has demonstrated fantastic success in his horror films and I have thoroughly enjoyed every horror film he has ever directed. So even with …
Recent years have brought about an emergence of revitalizing old horror properties as pseudo-sequels, from Halloween (2018) to Spiral (2021) to the new SyFy series Chucky (2021). Another recent trend in the horror genre, and a thematic element that has unfortunately been poorly overlooked prior, is the inclusion of themes surrounding the African American experience, …
If there is a director that I'm unsure how to feel about, it is M. Night Shyamalan as he has both some fantastic films (The Sixth Sense (1999), Signs (2002), Split (2016)) and some of the worst films I've ever seen (Lady in the Water (2006), The Happening (2008), and what I consider the worst …
Based on Eric Jager's 2004 novel, The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France, Ridley Scott's latest film is an absolute win. With a slew of phenomenal performances, an intriguing plot structure, a fantastic story, and beautiful cinematography, The Last Duel is a film that absolutely immerses you from beginning …
I see a lot of films every year, and with every year comes a fresh batch of films that are phenomenal feats in the art of filmmaking, with only a very few, if any at all, being absolute masterpieces and instant classics. Prior to last night (October 21, 2021), I believed 2021 had already seen …
There are not many film franchises where I hate the majority of the films but love the franchise as a whole, but the Halloween franchise, created by the legendary John Carpenter, is one of those franchises. Out of all of the series' films, I've only liked Halloween (1978), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), …
Over the course of 2021, Marvel has blessed audiences with two films (Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and three live-action shows, with a fourth still to come (WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and Hawkeye). All these (that have come out) were great to phenomenal additions to …
