Stanleyville4

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…

Film Review – Spiritwalker

April 11th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

A man wakes up from a car crash with no memory of how we got there. He has no recollection of who he is or how he ended up behind the wheel. The only clues he has is a picture of a woman he does…

Film Review – All the Old Knives

April 8th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There’s an old saying: Never work with your loved ones. Mixing business with pleasure rarely work out – emotions get mixed with duty to the point that distrust and resentment start leaking through the cracks. Now imagine that dynamic steeped in the realm of the…

Ambulance 4

Film Review – Ambulance

April 8th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Ambulance (2022) is Michael Bay’s best film in ages, but how much is that really saying? The director best known for his high-octane action returns with a throwback style thriller. This isn’t a big, sweeping epic like Pearl Harbor (2001) or an over-the-top sci-fi adventure like Transformers (2007), but something more…

The Bubble 4

Film Review – The Bubble

April 3rd, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Bubble (2022) is painfully unfunny. It’s meant to be a comedy about the making of a movie in the Covid era but plays as a series of cringe-inducing scenes all aiming for the lowest common denominator. It’s no secret that the last few years have…

Film Review – Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood 

April 2nd, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Writer/director Richard Linklater’s entire career has been marked by his obsession with the passing of time and how it feeds into our nostalgia. Whether it be nostalgia for high school (Dazed and Confused, 1993), college (Everybody Wants Some!!, 2016), romance (The Before Trilogy) or childhood itself…

Film Review – You Are Not My Mother

March 25th, 2022 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Writer/director Kate Dolan’s feature length debut, You Are Not My Mother (2021) taps into the fear of many young people: That our parents are not who we thought they were. Parents are meant to be our guardians, protectors, and role models – they are the ones we are…
