REVIEW: Thanksgiving (2023)

AlexGherzo | Nov 17, 2023 | 0

I don’t go into many movies with a lot of hope nowadays, and I never expected a whole lot from horror films, so I’m happy to be surprised on occasion. Thanksgiving was one such treat, a fun, (mostly) smart slasher with decent characters and something genuinely interesting to say about the true ...

REVIEW: The Killer (2023)

AlexGherzo | Nov 16, 2023 | 2

The Killer is what thrillers aspire to be, a suspenseful story about a professional death dealer and his world that sheds light on our own mundane lives. We’re made to feel a kinship with an assassin while learning very little about his personality, both comforted and unsettled by the notion that...

There are a few things that can get me to see a movie no matter what. It’s embarrassing to admit and has led to me watching a lot of trash, but if a movie comes from the right studio or director or even casts certain actors, I’ll absolutely see it. Paul Giamatti is an actor I’ll watch in &h...

The Marvels isn’t good, but it’s not quite as bad as I thought it would be. If we’re playing MCU Russian Roulette, I’d rather watch this than Eternals, Thor: Love and Thunder, or Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. But it’s still a pretty lousy movie, another slapped-together afterthought ...

REVIEW: Gen V – Season 1, Episodes 7 and 8, “Sick” and “Guardians of Godolkin”

virginiakublawi | Nov 5, 2023 | 0

The first season of Gen V has been crazy so far. From blood-bending to making friends forget about major developments, it’s been quite a ride. The finale, “Guardians of Godolkin,” has been reported to lead directly into The Boys season 4. I’m a week behind, so I’ll ...
