Rating: R Stars: Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Mark Ruffalo, Toni Collette, Anamaria Vartolomei, Holliday Grainger, Anna Mouglalis (voice) Writer: Bong Joon-ho, based on the novel MICKEY 7 by Edward Ashton Director: Bong Joon-ho Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: March 7, 2025 MICKEY 17, based on Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel MICKEY 7 (Mickey gets ten more lives in the movie), is an agreeable enough science-fiction adventure, even though it seems to be unaware that it is reinventing parts of the wheel and its stabs at dark comedy are frequently heavy-handed. The year is 2056. We meet Mickey 17 (Robert […]Read On »

NOPE poster | ©2022 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Brandon Perea, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, Keith David, Terry Notary Writer: Jordan Peele Director: Jordan Peele Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: July 22, 2022 NOPE has a title and trailer that suggests it’s going to be about people reacting with unexpected common sense to horror movie tropes. That’s not what NOPE turns out to be. This in itself isn’t a demerit; no movie should be judged by how it does or doesn’t adhere to its advertising, which is often created separate from the filmmakers. However, NOPE is an uneven mixed bag. Director/writer Jordan […]Read On »

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU movie poster | ©2018 Annapurna Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Kate Berlant, Michael X. Sommers, Danny Glover, Steven Yeun, Armie Hammer, Forest Whitaker Writer: Boots Riley Director: Boots Riley Distributor: Annapurna Pictures Release Date: June 6, 2018 SORRY TO BOTHER YOU is agitprop comedy cinema at its most pointed. Director/writer Boots Riley has devised a wicked social satire that takes on race, economics, the corporate state and more. It’s often simultaneously funny and depressing in how close its outrageousness is to reality. Even when the third act takes a turn into sci-fi, the metaphors are grounded. Our […]Read On »

This was one hell of a good hour of television.

Read at your own risk. So we learned some interesting things about Rick and company when they are thrust into a pseudo-society on THE WALKING DEAD, they turn a bit creepy, apathetic and paranoid. In “Forget,” I’ll be honest, not a heck of a lot happened in terms of advancing […]Read On »

Read at your own risk. THE WALKING DEAD continued to recoil from a handful of mediocre episodes with back-to-back entertaining episodes that have introduced the audience not only to a handful of new characters but an entirely new and different area for the survivors to call home. In “Remember,” Alexandria is everything that […]Read On »

Read at your own risk. Since showrunner Scott M. Gimple took over the ship of THE WALKING DEAD he has loved giving us episodes such as “Them.” An episode where really, let’s be honest, nothing happens. Instead it is a bridge to future episodes where something more […]Read On »

I truly enjoy THE WALKING DEAD but sometimes they outthink themselves. Take “What Happened and What’s Going On?” for instance. I get that they needed a reflection-type episode given all the high drama and loss that has been going on since […]Read On »
