I'm a fan of metaphorical comparisons, so let's launch this one: I think Radio Silence (directing duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett) wants SCREAM VI to be the franchise's THE LAST JEDI, when it's really THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. Characters are brought back for little reason other than their actor is free. The franchise's legacy is discussed to…

THE WORST ONES is an eye-catching title. It conjures, in my mind, that scene from Guy Ritchie's THE GENTLEMEN when Colin Farrell gives four shithead teens a verbal and physical lashing in a restaurant. These kids are boisterous and braggadocious as fuck until challenged by someone who clearly knows what they're doing. That's when the insecurity all…

CREED III represents a pivot in the ROCKY franchise. This ninth entry is the first not to feature Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa. As such, this officially entrusts Michael B.

The universe has a sense of humor. I know this because right now, in theaters, I have the opportunity to find a marquee where the phrases COCAINE BEAR and JESUS REVOLUTION can sit side by side.

Zach Cregger's BARBARIAN is one of those rare movies you simply just have to see. Describing it really doesn't do it justice.

If you're to ask "Who's the greatest living American director?", I think the answers often lie in one of two camps: Martin Scorsese or Steven Spielberg. It's the "Beatles or Stones?" question for movie nerds. And while Scorsese has firmly wormed his way into my heart, I always respect Spielberg. Maybe it's the kind of respect that comes with making…

WOMEN TALKING is GREAT, the version applicable to "one of the greats." It works for the same reasons that 12 ANGRY MEN works: its variety and depth of character, razor-sharp dialogue, a flawless execution of form (editing, cinematography, blocking) and its fiercest commitment to gentle, honest discussion.
