KEEPER Sees Perkins Turn Up The Heat In This Intense & Surreal Spook Show Keeper has finally convinced me that Director Osgood Perkins not only has the goods, but also knows how to daisy chain scares with the best of them.

Michelle Pfeiffer Does it for the Moms in the Lovably Lunatic OH. WHAT. FUN. “You don’t want to get left behind!” One of the things I’ve noticed about Michael Showalter is the reverence he has for older actresses. The writer/director gave Sally Field her best latter day role in Hello, My Name is Doris (which should’ve netted her an Oscar nomination), allowed Holly Hunter to showcase both her comedic […] The post Michelle Pfeiffer Does it for the Moms in the Lovably Lunatic OH.

Jodie Foster Gives One of the Year’s Most Haunting Performances in A PRIVATE LIFE “She had this in her hand before she died.” Since Jodie Foster has done it all and done it well, the question remains: What will she do next?

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT Turns the Yuletide Slasher Into a Twisted Hallmark Miracle The Reboot by Mike P. Nelson is nothing short of a gift for slasher fans! For those not around for the release of the original Silent Night, Deadly Night, the film earned its notoriety thanks not only to being one of the meanest slashers out there, but to the protests that sprang up over its […] The post SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT Turns the Yuletide Slasher Into a Twisted Hallmark Miracle first appeared on Cinapse.

Screen Comparisons: KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL New Film Masters Release vs Film Chest (2010) The crime classic gets a snazzy new upgrade A crackling crime film from 1952, Kansas City Confidential was a fairly gritty and unique tale. Its opening setup and heist take place in its namesake Kansas City, as iconically demonstrated by an establishing shot of the famous Union Station, but the bulk of its action is […] The post Screen Comparisons: KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL New Film Masters Release vs Film Chest (2010) first appeared on Cinapse.

Eddington Is A Conservative Film (And Why That’s A Good Thing) Eddington is a film about the Republican Party, and why it is such a shit show today. It’s also an incredibly important film to the cultural ecosystem. Eddington is arguably the zeitgeist film of 2025.

Closing Out Noirvember with a Pair of 50s Classics [SUNSET BOULEVARD & THE BIG HEAT] “You’re about as romantic as a pair of handcuffs.” As this Noirvember comes to an end, I thought it fitting that I write a piece celebrating two great noir titles. Of course, there were many to choose from as the decade of the 1940s produced a bevy of classics from the heyday of film noir.

ZOOTOPIA 2 – Furry Friends Find Their Footing in Family-Friendly Film Noir Followup The anthropomorphic sequel is more of the same, but that’s not a bad thing. Apologies for being overly obvious, but we can cut right to the chase on this one: if you liked Zootopia you’ll like Zootopia 2.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN Sees Johnson & Craig Answer Our Whodunnit Prayers “This murder was dressed as a miracle.” I can only imagine that Rian Johnson is a fan of the BBC series Jonathan Creek.

For so long, there weren’t too many of those kinds of events that didn’t […] The post WICKED: FOR GOOD is Neither Bad Nor Great first appeared on Cinapse.

"...feels like a down-the-middle American actioner with no particular authorial stamp... if you told me it was directed by, say, David Ayer, Renny Harlin, or Len Wiseman, I wouldn't question it. But I would consider it among their best."
