Film Review: The Drama
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Ever hear somebody say something so shocking and unexpected you can just hear a pin drop and literally feel the air being sucked out of the room? That’s the entire impetus of The Drama, which finds the marriage between Emma and Charlie threatened just days before it’s supposed to happen.…

Film Review: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
By Matthew Moorcroft Unsure Seemingly designed from the ground up to be as frenetic and as fast moving as possible to keep the attention of even the smallest of hyperactive children (or hyperactive, chronically online adults), The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is only barely just that. A barrage of loud noise, colors, and action sequences,…

Film Review: Project Hail Mary
By Matthew Moorcroft Highest Recommendation The Earth is dying. Something is dimming the sun, and we only have 30 years to really prevent it or things are going to get bad really fast. Project Hail Mary, as a film, isn’t about climate change but it certainly feels like it in some ways; a film about…

Film Review: The Bride!
By Matthew Moorcroft Unsure Bursting onto the frame with a loud, overwhelming jolt to the senses not unsimiliar to the very lightning bolt that brought Frankenstein’s monster to life years and years ago, The Bride! is almost as unwieldy and impossible to quantify as said monster as well.

Probably the studio that has struggled the most post-pandemic, small success stories like Elemental and big blockbuster hits like Inside Out 2 have managed to keep them in the conversation as their major projects, regardless of…

Film Review: Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation Maybe one of the few working directors who can actually earn the “from the twisted mind” phrase in his marketing, Gore Verbinski returns after a 9 year hiatus after audience soundly rejected the wildly underrated – and exceptionally bizarre – A Cure for Wellness and sent Verbinski into director’s jail.…

Film Review: Send Help
By Matthew Moorcroft Strong Recommendation It’s been a long time since a full blown, true Sam Raimi flick hasn’t there? Sure, he’s made a couple of blockbusters like the scattershot if entertaining Oz the Great and Powerful and the wildly misunderstood Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but when it comes to the horror…

Film Review: Arco
By Matthew Moorcroft Solid Recommendation As animated films go, Arco is as animated as they come. Quite literally, in fact, as the rainbow colors that adorn it’s title character leap off the screen and feel simply just made for the animated medium. You simply just can’t tell a story like this in live action, and…
