BOX OFFICE: Franchise Fatigue flattens “Moana” & “Minions,” “Invite” expands, “Toy Story” soldiers on
As I saw parents — well, GRANDparents — gathering the grandkids and emptying their wallets at the ticket counter of a Regal Cinemas in Falwelltown, Va. Friday, I had to shake my head at what they were mostly going to … Continue reading

BOX OFFICE: Little “Supergirl” Lost — “Toy Story 5” rolls in the (play) dough
Another blockbuster weekend for “Toy Story 5” was a given. And to some of us the indifference that a fresh, punk-riotgrrrl take on “Supergirl” with no “names (Mathias Schoenaerts excepted) and Warner Bros./DC’s MF CGI “dog” sidekick was just as … Continue reading

Movie Review: Beware the “Backrooms” of Your Worst Nightmares
Here’s a thriller that Maurice Escher could have production designed, with Salvador Dalí decorating the sets and Stanley Kubrick behind the camera directing. Not that Youtube phenom turned horror filmmaker Kane Parsons is the new Kubrick. But in turning his … Continue reading

Movie Review: Twenty Feet Tall and Still Hiding in the Dark — “The Yeti”
“The Yeti” is a low-budget creature-feature that’s terrible on pretty much every level. Badly scripted, wootacting, dreadful effects that have that cast brushing fake snowflakes out of their hair and lit like a teenager’s in-mom’s-closet podcast, it’s an abominable waste … Continue reading
Movie Review: “Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write about a Serial Killer”
Sometimes a film title says it all, or at least entirely too much. Turkish filmmaker Tolga Karaçelik blunders into that truism all too eagerly with his American feature film debut — a comic thriller he deigned to over-label “Psycho Therapy: … Continue reading
Movie Review: Injured on a Hike, Pondering what it means “To Die Alone”
Say this for the indie thriller “To Die Alone.” It certainly punches above its weight in setting, scenery and the way cinematographer Shelby Lee Parks filmed it. Drone shots that traverse a sea of fir trees far into the horizon, … Continue reading

Documentary Review: A Horror Icon revisits His Many Touchstones — “Sangre del Toro”
Guillermo del Toro is not just the fanboy’s fanboy, a comic book collector (“Horror comics, mostly.”) turned Oscar winning horror director. He rivals his idol David Cronenberg as the reigning intellectual of his genre, a thoughtful, philosophical Mexican who knows … Continue reading

Netflixable? Guillermo del Toro and Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”
Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” is Gothic horror rendered in the grandest strokes. The expansive, baroque settings are grandeur incarnate, with grandiose performances pitched to fill every pixel of the Grand Guignol frame that the scarlet, grey and gloomy green backdrops … Continue reading
