Review: Over Your Dead Body
There’s a version of Over Your Dead Body that exists entirely in its first 30 minutes; a nasty, tightly coiled two-hander about a marriage so thoroughly rotted that murder feels less like escalation and more like administrative cleanup. It’s a film that understands, with uncomfortable precision, how resentment calcifies over time, how love curdles into something performative, transactional, and quietly venomous. In those early stretches, Jorma Taccone’s film isn’t just funny

Review: I Swear
There’s a version of I Swear that plays like a crowd-pleasing triumph, a handsomely mounted, deeply felt biopic about adversity, empathy, and the slow churn of social understanding. And for long stretches, that’s exactly the film Kirk Jones delivers. But what lingers isn’t just the uplift, it’s the abrasion underneath it. It's the sense that every small victory has been hard-won against a world that doesn’t merely misunderstand John Davidson, but actively resists accommodati

Review: Project Hail Mary
There’s a moment early in Project Hail Mary where Ryan Gosling’s Ryland Grace, bearded, disoriented, and floating somewhere far beyond the comforting pull of Earth, scrawls a question across a dry-erase board: Who am I? It’s the kind of on-the-nose thematic gesture that would sink a lesser film, the sort of thing that feels reverse-engineered for a trailer. But Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s long-awaited return to live-action filmmaking doesn’t just get away with it, it build

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
To revisit the final image of Ready or Not , Samara Weaving, blood-soaked, dazed, and smoking in the wreckage of a burning mansion, is to be reminded of how rare it is for a horror-comedy to land on something that feels instantly iconic. It’s a closing note that doesn’t ask for expansion. It lingers. It resonates. It ends. Ready or Not2: Here I Come makes the fatal mistake of picking that image back up and asking, “But what if… more?” And more is exactly what this sequel is,
