The Bible is a sexist text with many disturbing, anti-woman passages that many believers choose to ignore. The bold, thought-provoking “Raquel 1:1” challenges this head on with a confrontational, creative script from writer / director Mariana... Read the full review »

There’s a lot of truth to the writing and dialogue in “Pretty Problems,” a very funny indie comedy from director Kestrin Pantera. The story of a couple who are befriended by affluent strangers and agree to spend a weekend with them in wine c... Read the full review »

Horror comedy “The Prank” doesn’t do a lot right. The script is unoriginal, the cast is unappealing, and the premise is uninteresting. The story of an overachiever Ben (Connor Kalopsis) who, after being threatened with a failing grade, cooks... Read the full review »

“Reno 911: the Hunt for QAnon” is a movie that should’ve (and could’ve) been so much better than it turned out to be. With the crackerjack comedy team behind the Central cult classic Reno 911!” (and for those OG fans from the early 90s,... Read the full review »

For maximum enjoyment of “No Exit,” I highly recommend you dive in knowing as little as possible. Even if you’ve read Taylor Adams’ 2017 novel, the film will be a different experience because the story translates so well to the screen. Thi... Read the full review »

Take “A.I.” and mix it with “Tree of Life” and you get “After Yang,” an extremely repetitive, slow moving film about loss, grief, and life. Adapted from a short story by Alexander Weinstein, director Kogonada stretches twenty minutes o... Read the full review »

“The Batman” is finally here, and it’s a doozy. Ominous, moody, and violent, the highly anticipated DCEU film from director Matt Reeves is a very dark crime drama, not a traditional family-friendly superhero movie. It’s bleak and challengi... Read the full review »

I wasn’t enamored with actor / director Micaela Wittman‘s small scale mockumentary “Clairevoyant.” The premise isn’t the problem, nor is Wittman’s straightforward directorial style. It’s the borderline insufferable lead character tha... Read the full review »

“Moonfall” isn’t only the worst movie I’ve seen so far in 2022, it’s one of the worst disaster movies I’ve ever had to sit through. This is a low point even for director Roland Emmerich, who already has some pretty lousy entries (“10... Read the full review »
