Film Review – Bird Box: Barcelona

July 15th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Bird Box (2018) was a sci-fi/horror film that contained shades of The Happening (2008) and The Mist (2007). Based on the novel by Josh Malerman, the premise involved an invasion by an unseen force (Aliens? Demons?) that causes anyone who looks at them to turn suicidal. It incorporated themes of faith…

Film Review – Insidious: The Red Door

July 11th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

With Insidious: The Red Door (2023), the Insidious franchise has now reached its fifth installment. This is surprising, given that it never quite got off its feet since the 2010 original. While I’m not the biggest fan of that first film, admittedly, director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell did catch lightning in…

Nimona4

Film Review – Nimona

July 2nd, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

What a strange and interesting world that inhabits Nimona (2023). The film plays like a traditional fairytale, with knights and queens and mystical beings in a faraway kingdom. Yet at the same time, it incorporates cityscapes, flying vehicles, TV, Japanese anime, rock & roll, and sci-fi technology.…

Film Review – Run Rabbit Run

June 28th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Run Rabbit Run (2023) touches on many of the fears that come with being a parent. There’s the constant worry over whether you are raising your child well enough, that they are cared for and fed, that they are being raised in a safe environment, and…

Film Review – No Hard Feelings

June 26th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There was a time when a movie like No Hard Feelings (2023) dominated the box office. These were mid-budget, star-driven vehicles where the audience came not for the story but to see their favorite actors on the big screen. Things have certainly changed throughout the years. The…

Stan Lee 4

Film Review – Stan Lee

June 20th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

I knew his name before I knew who he was. For many fans, Stan Lee is as synonymous with comic books as the very superheroes he helped create. I grew up in the late 1980s and throughout the ‘90s reading X-Men and Spider-Man comics. “Stan Lee” was a constant presence…

SpiderVerse4

Film Review – Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

June 3rd, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) is such an explosion of kinetic energy – both in its visual design and in its storytelling – that the result borders on creative overload. Where Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) feels like a living, breathing comic book, Across the Spider-Verse acts like an amalgamation…

Cracked4

Film Review – Cracked

May 25th, 2023 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Thai horror film Cracked (2022) creates effective creepiness with limited resources. Utilizing a small cast and a few locations, director Surapong Ploensang (who co-writes with Orunusa Donsawai and Pun Homchuen) evokes mood with relative ease. While the overall narrative is thin in terms of story and character, the craftsmanship on display…
