The hype is monstrous, and this sequel is gonna sequel. Godzilla has been destroyed. But now, only two years later, Japan finds itself at war once again with unnatural forces. Toho Studios and returning director Takashi Yamazaki brings us Godzilla Minus Zero, a sequel to Godzilla Minus One. At first blush, it is a strange…
Review: Clayface
Ew. Surprisingly gross entry in the kaleidoscope that is DC Comics film adaptation. Actor Matt Hagen has reached the pinnacle of his career; an Academy Award nomination. But after he sleeps with the wrong woman, a crime boss has his face mutilated. Now he resorts to drastic measures to regain what he has lost… Clayface…
Review: Primetime
An aesthetically good-looking biopic. Didn’t really compel me one way or the other, though. Chris Hanson’s TV show To Catch a Predator is given NPC’s primetime slot due to soaring ratings. But this means he and his team need even more intense content to win over studio and audiences alike. Director Lance Oppenheim has brought…
Review: Whalefall
For a realistic depiction of a man being eaten by a whale, it was surprisingly emotionally affecting. A year after his estranged father died by suicide, Jay looks to redeem himself by finding his body, lost at sea. But when he does… an encounter with a whale will test what little mettle he has. Whalefall…
Review: Street Fighter (2026)
It is a lively, jam-packed affair. No regards for non-fans, though. Ken Masters may have been raised by a martial arts master, but he prefers now to be a public performer. But when a major fighting tournament invites him, and his old friend Ryu re-emerges from the shadows, his happy-go-lucky persona is about to be…
Review: Wildwood
Astoundingly beautiful. What animation should be. When her baby brother is kidnapped before her very eyes, Prue dives into a magical world to get him back. Wildwood is directed by Travis Knight (Kubo & the Two Strings, Masters of the Universe) and is from Laika animation studios (Coraline, ParaNorman) It stars voice talent from Preyton…
Review: Forgotten Island
For all its dazzle and flair, it really doesn’t say anything at all. Jo and Raissa have been best friends their whole lives. They do everything together. So when Raissa is going to leave the country, Jo is distraught. But before anything can happen, a magical portal throws them to the Forgotten Island. A magical…
Review: The Uprising
Not sure where my own hype came from, but it was misjudged. In 1381, the peasant’s revolt amounted to a violent riot straight into the heart of London. They seek the King’s word of salvation from repeated taxes since the kingdom went to war and survived the Plague. But will their voices be heard? The…
Review: Digger
My rating of this movie was on a rollercoaster. Up and down and all around. Digger is directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu (who brought us the weird Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, and the chilling The Revenant) and stars Tom Cruise, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, and Riz Ahmed. The film has already split…
Review: Hope
That was… absurd. A backwater fishing town in South Korea must defend itself when a monstrous attacker terrorises them. Hope is written and directed by Na Hong-jin (The Wailing) and stars Hwang Jung-min, Hoyeon (Squid Game), and Zo In-sung. There are other actors, but I implore you to not look up the casting or anything…
