Hereditary (2018)
“Why are you afraid of me?” Hereditary isn’t like most modern horror flicks. We’ve gotten to a point where the genre depends on gaslighting our primitive reactions to sight and sound; Lights Out and Don’t […]

Hearts Beat Loud (2018)
“When life hands you conundrums, you turn them into art.” What I’ve always admired about movies – and what I’ve long loved about all of the many forms of art […]

“What this place needs is an excitement enema.” Action Point’s poster makes a very clear distinction, and it’s an important one. Back in 2013, Johnny Knoxville starred in the similarly stupid but […]
