Larson Director: David Leitch Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: May 3, 2024 THE FALL GUY director David Leitch has been helming action movies for a while now.

One is the pre-wedding interactions of a bride-to-be and her besties prior to the big day. The other is the big threat of the open ocean, including sharks. We begin with British couple Meg (Hiftu Quasem) and Kayla (Natalie Mitson), who are happy together until they are assaulted in a […]Read On »

I SAW THE TV GLOW movie poster | ©2024 A24

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, Lindsey Jordan, Danielle Deadwyler, Fred Durst Writer: Jane Schoenbrun Director: Jane Schoenbrun Distributor: A24 Release Date: May 3, 2024 I SAW THE TV GLOW is dreamy and quasi-surreal. It opens with a shot of a dark street, where half the asphalt is covered in blue, pink and purple blacklight markings, and half is just black. The symbolism sets the stage for what is to come. Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s stated topics here include identity and television fandom – not “let’s go to Comic-Con and celebrate our favorite shows, plural” fandom, […]Read On »

What we may not necessarily know from the trailers and the artwork is that ABIGAIL is very good bloody fun, with filmmakers who seem to achieve everything they’re attempting […]Read On »

SAW: THE MUSICAL: Creator Cooper Jordan and writer Zoe Ann Jordan on the new musical stage parody – Exclusive Interview

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
SAW: THE MUSICAL Key Art | ©2024 Saw the Musical parody LLC

Pop quiz. What’s the most unlikely movie to ever get turned into a stage musical? If you somehow guessed SAW, you may be right. As subject matter goes, the 2004 horror film, which has launched a franchise (SAW XI is due out later this year) as well as the careers of director James Wan and his co-writer Leigh Whannell, doesn’t seem a likely candidate for upbeat musical numbers. It has two men – Adam, played by writer Whannell, and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, played by Cary Elwes – chained up at opposite ends of an industrial bathroom, where the only means […]Read On »
