The result? The funniest film since “Netflix and chill” was still edgy. Perhaps it’s time to update the phrase: The Naked Gun and fuck. Because
There are filmmakers you respect, and then there’s Mike Judge; our unassuming, soft-spoken Nostradamus of middlebrow America. If Kubrick dissected humanity’s cosmic anxieties, Spielberg gave
If Marvel wants to course-correct, they could do worse than watch James Gunn’s Superman on loop for a few days. Or maybe, just maybe, stop
Before Ari Aster made us afraid of attics, flower crowns, or what a mother might do with a piano wire, he was dreaming of spurs,

The show’s biggest flaw; its inability to decide if it wants to be heartfelt or farcical; is also, weirdly, its strength. Life, as Too Much
The film’s emotional core, though, is a quiet scene in Kansas. Just a conversation between a son and his parents (Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva
If Night of the Living Dead was Romero’s Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan moment, The Crazies was his concept album no one understood until three decades later, probably while
If you were alive in the late ’70s or early ’80s; or were simply the kind of child raised on VHS tapes and questionable parental
Which brings us to Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh installment in a franchise that should have been gracefully fossilized long ago. But Hollywood, like the
Some movies sneak up on you. Others charge in with a cape, a torch, and a crossbow. The Monster Squad, Fred Dekker’s gloriously goofy 1987
Every few months, without fail, something wonderful happens in the land of cinema. A rumble is heard. A leather boot steps into frame. Somewhere, a
So of course, Hollywood did what Hollywood does best: upgraded the software, doubled the runtime, and deleted the subtlety. Enter M3GAN 2.0, the cinematic equivalent
In the end, Boyle hasn’t mellowed with age. He’s just become sharper, meaner, and more deliberate. He doesn’t just want to scare you; he wants
Let me start with a warning: Jennifer Lynch’s Chained is not a movie you casually throw on during date night unless your idea of a
Every ghost story begins with love. Every haunting begins with a full heart. Mine began when I became a widow at 38.
In the end, The Fantastic Mr. Fox is not merely an adaptation but a kind of artistic convergence. It’s a meeting of Dahl’s mischievous imagination
Bresson was a man allergic to frills, whether it be cinematic, emotional, decorative, or otherwise. So when, in 1959, he wrote his first original screenplay
Almodóvar, of course, has never been in the business of quaint. His films arrive lacquered in bright colors and moral ambiguity, populated by characters who

Will there be more Mission: Impossible movies? Of course. No self-destructing tape has ever actually self-destructed in Hollywood. But whether Cruise will remain its beating
That Nonnas is unlikely to sweep award season is beside the point. Its triumph lies in its soul. Like the best home-cooked meals, it sneaks
