MOVIE REVIEW – GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE is a fun sci-fi satire exploring our dependence of technology Channelling Terry Gilliam's humor and sense of the absurd, director Gore Verbinski gives us a Black Mirror-esque anthology exploring AI, violence in America and our culture's longing to hide from our problems rather than address them. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE (2026) ★★★★ OF ★★★★★ stars "Everything, Everywhere All At Once" was my favorite film of 2022 - a fun social parable with quirky characters than used the aesthetic of sci-fi to showcase dysfunctional family relationships and our inability to engage beyond ourselves.

MOVIE REVIEW – Emerald Fennell’s “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” revists and revises the classic novel with a modern flavor. "Wuthering Heights" channels the Baz Luhrmann take on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with a dash of Saltburn and Promising Young Woman making it feel like a integral part of Fennell's work. "WUTHERING HEIGHTS" (2026) ★★★★ OF ★★★★★ stars One can argue that "Wuthering Heights" takes a lot of liberties with Emily Bronte's original 1847 novel; dialing back a lot of the classic gothic elements and removing characters and reordering the plot to make its tale of star-crossed lovers a bit more palatable and less controversial for modern audiences.

MOVIE REVIEW – Michael Almereyda’s NADJA (1994) channels vampiric ennui that still draws you in with a new 4K restoration. Years before Jim Jarmusch's ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, NADJA channelled the hipster cool downside of living the immortal lifestyle of the undead. NADJA (1994) ★★★ OF ★★★★★ stars 2026 is kicking off with a lot of big screen vampire resurrections - from DRACULA: ALOVE TALE from Luc Besson to the release of the 4K restoration of Michaeal Almereyda's 1994 vampire elegy NADJA, which hits New York this week and California's Frida Cinema later in February.

DRACULA: A LOVE TALE (2026) ★★★ OF ★★★★★ stars When one thinks of big screen vampire tales, you have to instantly think of films like Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula, considered by many to be the definitive take on the Romanian blood sucker also known as Vlad the Impaler.

MOVIE REVIEW – SEND HELP (2026) is a fun throwback comeback for Sam Raimi fans The latest film from Sam Raimi is a back to basics horror reuniting him with Multiverse of Madness star Rachel McAdams. MERCY (2026) ★★★ OF ★★★★★ stars One of the things that really stuck out to me watching Sam Raimi's excursion into the MCU in DOCTOR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS was how game Rachel McAdams was in fighting ghouls in an interdimensional haunted house; echoing scenes you'd see in an Army of Darkness or Evil Dead film.

MOVIE REVIEW: Mercy (2026) is a fun 90’s sci-fi action redux Director Timur Bekmambetov (NIGHTWATCH, WANTED) creates an interesting remix of the found footage movie with a sci-fi bent that remixes MINORITY REPORT by way of THE PURGE. MERCY (2026) ★★ OF ★★★★★ stars It’s not a leap to say that most found footage movies are low budget plodding affairs designed to make budget issues seem like an aesthetic choice. The modern version of these are called screen life films - movies that largely feature someone commenting on the plot while looking at a computer screen or talking to other characters with FaceTime or similar screen sharing technologies.
