Some months back, while browsing on Tubi, I came across this film which had the title, Deadly Game, but was actually called, Catch Me If You Can. Eventually, I got around to watching this film, and wow it was quite a gripping comedy, revolving around two characters, detective Norm Gannon, as well as Nathan Thomas, […]

I didn’t think Doug Liman could deliver a worse film than “Road House,” the plastic, overwrought remake of the 1980s cult classic. With “The Instigators,” his second film of the year, he manages to make Matt Damon, in a re-teaming from their Bourne days, so void of any charm that the director makes this among

Evil King Yeung Chang of the Qing Dynasty conquered the land. At the beginning of the movie, he commands an entire family to be killed, but a monk intervenes and manages to take the youngest children to safety. The sisters undergo intense Shaolin kung fu training at the monastery and once they become adults (portrayed

This movie opens with views of a manual typewriter, and indignant words being spelled out letter by letter. The time and place of this new movie co-directed by Austin Stark and Joseph Schuman, who also wrote the screenplay, becomes clear. It’s the United States in 1918, and the Spanish Flu is making its way to

Once you get over the fact that there won’t be much resembling logical human behavior in “Detained,” the film that follows undeniably provides its own simple pleasures in the Goofy Escapism department. Heavily inspired by “The Usual Suspects,” right down to the inclusion of a mysterious villain who might be in the room with us,

Co-directors Steven Kanter and Henry Loevner reunite (after their COVID-set breakup comedy “The End of Us”) for their sophomore feature, “Peak Season.” Engaged couple Amy (Claudia Restrepo) and Max (Ben Coleman) jet off from NYC to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for a breath of fresh air as they finalize details for their upcoming wedding. And while

Giuliano Carnimeo’s very first undertaking as a director was with this film. Once Enzo G. Castellari, who had collaborated with Tito Carpi in writing the screenplay, chose to not direct the movie, this was his first film as an independent director. The film features an amiable gunslinger paired with his irritable assistant and is somewhat

The name Hammer used to command a certain level of respect in the annals of horror cinema–from the late 1950s to the early ’70s, you could pin the label to some of the campiest, schlockiest, most entertaining creature features around, from camp retellings of Universal monsters to sci-fi Quatermass mysteries. But the Hammer Films of

Amateur actor Joe Clifford returns to his hometown to collect his inheritance from his uncle. What he finds, however, is a man living in his family’s gold mine. to make matters worse, he suspects this same man could be responsible for his uncle’s passing. Joe decides to take matters into his own hands and rightfully

Max (Ruaridh Mollica) is like many young writers I met in my 20s. Ambitious, smart, rather dashing when talking about an art he’s passionate about, which in his case, is literature and the work of enfant terrible writer Bret Easton Ellis. Max is a touch cocky for a freelancer, he’s known to accidentally alienate friends
