A ★★★ review of The Invite (2026)
Director Olivia Wilde's latest film is based on the movie The People Upstairs by Cesc Gay. Written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, the film is basically a play-like four-hander between Wilde, Set...

A ★★★½ review of Wasteman (2025)
Debut filmmaker Cal McMau takes a jab at the prison drama, which British folks seem to be really good at making. This one is well shot with an interesting use of in-prison social media among the group...

A ★★½ review of All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001)
What a strange film. Writer and director Shunji Iwai's specific time capsule and social commentary is nihilistic and extremely disturbing. What it comments on, harshly and pitilessly, is still very mu...

A ★★★★½ review of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025)
This blast of a movie with a title that will make you do a double-take is directed by Matt Johnson and written by Jay McCarrol and Matt Johnson. They both also star in it, of course, playing a version...

A ★★★★ review of Maddie's Secret (2025)
Writer, director, co-producer and lead actor of this film, John Early, made a sincere melodrama satire here. It is not that simple and easy to describe the way it navigates these terrains in such a wa...

Cape Fear 2026 (3/5)

Did we really need a 10 epsiodes tv adaptation of Cape Fear after the 1962 and 1991 film adaptations of the novel? Nope. But was it still fun and enjoyable? Sure. Javier Bardem is a full-on maniac and enjoying chewing the scenery here...

A ★★★★ review of Leviticus (2026)
Writer and director Adrian Chiarella has made quite a scary supernatural horror film here because it cuts deep. This is the kind of horror a lot of us are familiar with, we live with it. Here, the sup...

A ★★ review of A Dirty Shame (2004)
John Waters goes full horny and sleazy in this satirical sex comedy that leaves a lot to be desired. While it has lots of sex, horniness, nudity, kinks and the conservatives who oppose what is natural...

A ★★★½ review of Cecil B. Demented (2000)
A black comedy about the state of filmmaking and the people behind it, John Waters' film is crazy and lunatic. A big and snobby Hollywood star is kidnapped by a group of underground terrorist filmmake...

A ★★★½ review of Pecker (1998)
John Waters' movie about a young budding photographer in Baltimore is probably his most disarmingly sweet-natured film. The young guy strikes big when his photographs strike big when a New York exhibi...

A ★★★★ review of Desperate Living (1977)
Quite ambitious for what it is, John Waters made a punk fairytale exploration of fascism and authoritarianism here. As with his previous films, he was involved way more than just writing and directing...

A ★ review of Grease 2 (1982)
I love how people like this film for being feminist. The lead female character is independent and won't change herself for a man like the first film. But... the man does it. So how is that okay? This ...
