I was just as shocked as you that 2017’s HAPPY DEATH DAY was actually a fun little horror film (review here), and I am happy to now be looking forward to its sequel HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U. As long as this one keeps the same airy attitude and violent...
Now it is time for my favorite list of the year: the list of next year! As an eternal cinematic optimist, I always love to be the one to reassure you, dear reader, that there are plenty of amazing films to still be seen. One of the big...

The past six months of franchise cinema have been quite kind1 to us. BLADE RUNNER 2049 was beautiful and wandering. STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI turned out to be an honestly good film. Heck, even INSIDIOUS: THE LAST KEY was a fun prequel to an already solid franchise....
UNSANE, Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, would be considered mostly forgettable if it did not have the distinctions of being both Soderbergh’s first horror film and filmed entirely on an iPhone. Beyond those two nuggets and some genuinely solid performances, UNSANE is largely disposable. The film’s primary focus is...
