It doesn’t help that Danny is recovering from surgery on his gun hand. Boss Opal (Ann Akinjirin) offers […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Isaac Krasner, Dora Madison, David Johnson III, Taj Cross, Emily Deschanel, Marion Van Cuyck, Emma Broz, Jack De Sanz Writer: Corey Sherman Director: Corey Sherman Distributor: Dark Star Pictures Release Date: February 14, 2025 (streaming/digital) Written and directed by Corey Sherman, BIG BOYS skillfully, sensitively and humorously depicts the kind of life-changing event that sometimes even best friends may never discuss. This isn’t because of embarrassment, but because it’s so hard to put into words. We’re in Southern California. Fourteen-year-old Jamie (Isaac Krasner) is smart but socially awkward (and a bit of a hypochondriac). His slightly […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Blu Hunt, Ben Smith-Petersen, John Karna, Katherine Hughes, Joey Millin, Brennan Mejia, Aerial Washington Writers: Webb Wilcoxen and Elric Kane Director: Elric Kane Distributor: Shudder Release Date: February 14, 2025 With a title like THE DEAD THING, we’re primed for one to show up eventually. In fact, we may be primed for something a lot scarier than what we get here. This DEAD THING turns out to be a lot more tense when it mimics reality than when it reaches into the supernatural. We are in Los Angeles, both downtown and in an adjoining pleasantly hipster […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Jordana Brewster, Devon Sawa Writers: Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy Director: Josh Ruben Distributor: Sony/Screen Gems Release Date: February 7, 2025 As masked slasher horror/Hallmark-type romantic comedies go, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect example than HEART EYES. Writers Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy and director Josh Ruben demonstrate keen knowledge of both genres, plus the ability to affectionately and cleverly poke fun at both. Simultaneously and miraculously, HEART EYES manages to faithfully replicate the look and feel of more sober offerings, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Rupert Friend Writer: Drew Hancock Director: Drew Hancock Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Cinema Release Date: January 31, 2025 Since it’s implied in the poster and stated in the trailer, it’s probably not a huge spoiler to say that COMPANION centers on a human-like robot (most of us would consider her an android) named Iris (Sophie Thatcher). Iris is an emotional support companion, whose duties are not limited to but include enthusiastic sex with her owner. As it is also stated in the trailer and in the first […]Read On »

Stars: Elena Sanchez, Jeremy London, Alli Hart, Miles Dorleac, Jared Bankens, David Kallaway, Escalante Lundy, Laura Cayourette, Elise Greene, Betsy Borrego, Artrial Clark, Madison Wolfe, Ritchie Montgomery Writer: Michael Donovan Horn Director: Michael Donovan Horn Distributor: Uncork’d Entertainment Release Date: January 21, 2025 (digital, VOD) BONE FACE has an intriguing concept. What if a pair of sleuths rounded up a bunch of suspects and tried to put together who was secretly Jason Voorhees? It’s a worthy notion, even if it doesn’t fully come together here. On their last night together at Camp Marigold, the counselors get together to send off […]Read On »

Movie Review: CREEP BOX

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Geoffrey Cantor, Seán Mahon, Ian Lithgow, Katie Kuang, Allie McCullouch, Annemarie Lawless, Adam David Thompson (voice), Aya Marseille Hull, Dan Cordle Writer: Patrick Biesemans Director: Patrick Biesemans Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: January 24, 2025 (digital) CREEP BOX turns out to be a misleading title for this slow-burn techno/maybe supernatural thriller. There is indeed a box, but neither it nor those associated with it are particularly creepy, albeit some are morose and/or morally dubious. It’s approximately the year 2029. The box in question is the property of HDTA, a company that sells its services to well-heeled […]Read On »
