Film Review – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

May 6th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The idea of a “Multiverse” is all the rage now. From Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), to Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), stories featuring multiple dimensions with multiple versions of the same characters is the hot new trend for movies. When it comes to superhero…

Film Review – Shepherd

May 5th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Writer/director Russell Owen’s Shepherd (2021) is a moody, atmospheric psychological horror film that has a lot of ideas on its mind. While this is a stripped-down production in terms of location and cast, there is enough style and skill to make this worth a watch. It contains a…

Film Review – The Survivor

May 1st, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

On its surface, The Survivor (2021) looks like another underdog story about a boxer trying to make a name for themselves. In reality, it is a much deeper and profound examination of trauma, guilt, and humanity in the face of unspeakable evil. Director Barry Levinson and writer Justine Juel Gillmer (adapting Alan…

April 26th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There was a time – not too long ago – when she was the most famous person on the planet. But behind the platinum blonde hair, golden smile, and superstar persona was a troubled person. The images we remember of Marilyn Monroe are of the glitz and…

Film Review – The Bad Guys

April 21st, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Bad Guys (2022), the latest adventure from DreamWorks Animation, imagines a world where anthropomorphic animals live and interact with humans. They walk on two legs, wear human clothing, drive cars, communicate with spoken language, etc. This – of course – raises a host of questions.…

Film Review – Stanleyville

April 21st, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The game is simple. Five contestants enter a room. There’s a kitchen, a dinner table with chairs, a couch, TV, a storage closet, and a few bedrooms. On one wall is a scoreboard tallying each player’s progress. On another wall is a portrait of 19th century…

Film Review – Choose or Die

April 18th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Choose or Die (2022) wears its influences so blatantly on its sleeve that it basically does the cinematic version of a cover song. It’s so invested in the horror films of the 1980s and ‘90s that it suffers from an identity crisis. We see this early…
