Brescia, Julie Anne Prescott, David Sobel (voice of Fear) Writers: Todd Sheets, Tim Ritter, Anthony Catanese, Josephina Sykes, Brad Sykes Directors: Todd Sheets, Tim Ritter, Anthony Catanese, Brad Sykes Distributor: Wild Eye Releasing Release Date: June 13, 2023 (Digital), July 11, 2023 (DVD) One thing that distinguishes HI-FEAR from most other horror anthologies is that, except for its wraparound and interstitial pieces, it all ostensibly comes from the same person’s imagination. That […]Read On »

Yes, the SPIDER-MAN movies belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while THE FLASH is part of the DC […]Read On »

Movie Review: DALILAND

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Rupert Graves, Alexander Beyer, Andreja Pejic, Suki Waterhouse, Ezra Miller, Avital Lvova, Mark McKenna, Zachary Nachbar-Seckel Writer: John C. Walsh Director: Mary Harron Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 Most of DALILAND is set in 1974, and the film has a very ‘70s pop feel. It’s glossy, fun to look at, and full of gossip, but also short on substance. This is not quite what we’d expect from a movie about the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, played here by Ben Kingsley. A prologue and epilogue is set […]Read On »

Movie Review: BROOKLYN 45

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Anne Ramsay, Ron E. Rains, Jeremy Holm, Larry Fessenden, Ezra Buzzington, Kristina Klebe Writer: Ted Geoghegan Director: Ted Geoghegan Distributor: Shudder/AMC+ Release Date: June 9, 2023 Much of BROOKLYN 45 rolls out as though it could be a stage play. Most of it occurs on a single albeit large set. It also has what is more a theatrical than a film convention, a group of middle-aged friends coming together for what’s meant to be a friendly social gathering that becomes an exploration of ethics, duty, responsibility, guilt, and a lot more. But then there’s the supernatural […]Read On »

Movie Review: BLUE JEAN

BLUE JEAN movie poster | ©2023 Magnolia Pictures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Rosy McEwen, Kerrie Hayes, Lucy Halliday Writer: Georgia Oakley Director: Georgia Oakley Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 BLUE JEAN is set in 1988 Newcastle, England. Margaret Thatcher is the British Prime Minister, and building walls in this largely working-class city are painted with slogans about making sure that children are being taught “traditional values.” So, it’s thirty-five years ago, but some issues remain sadly resonant. Jean Newman (Rosy McEwen) is a teacher and sports coach at a secondary school (that’s high school for us U.S. folks). She is in her late twenties or […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Laya DeLeon Hayes, Denzel Whitaker, Chad L. Coleman, Reilly Brooke Stith, Keith Holliday, Amani Summer, Edem Atsu-Swanzy, Ellis Hobbs IV, Dale Cordice Jr., Jeremy DeCarlos, Beth Felice, Tracie Frank Writer: Bomani J. Story Director: Bomani J. Story Distributor: RLJE Films/Shudder/Allblk Release Date: June 9, 2023 (theatrical); June 23, 2023 (digital) There is a lot of mostly good metaphor in THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER. It also works as a fairly straight Frankenstein tale. The main question here might be with the title. Our protagonist, Vicaria (Laya DeLeon Hayes) is indeed angry, but so is […]Read On »

Thompson Distributor: Sony/Columbia/Marvel Release Date: June 2, 2023 The Marvel Cinematic Universe has for awhile now been walking the self-awareness tightrope. This was wonderfully enjoyable and inventive in 2018’s animated feature SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE, in which teen Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) not only becomes Spider-Man, […]Read On »

Because of the specifics of the short story, a major studio release based on it was very likely to take […]Read On »
