Inside

Written by Patrick Hao "...it is no wonder that someone would utilize Willem Dafoe’s talents in such a movie. With Dafoe’s angular no fat body, mischievous smile, and dark burdened persona, Dafoe is perfect for the tormented protagonist of “Inside.”"… Continue reading.

A Little White Lie

Written by Alexander Reams "My biggest issue with “A Little White Lie” is its laziness, its apathy towards any plot that is driven and fleshed out, the apathy of even a great performer in Michael Shannon, and the lack of … Continue reading.

Slamdance 2023: Nut Jobs (Les pas d’allure)

Written by Alexander Reams "“Nut Jobs” is an abrasive film and that’s what Leblanc wants, there is anger in every frame, and I appreciated that. His vision is uncompromising in how he tells this fairly straightforward story, whether broken into … Continue reading.

White Noise
"If there is an antithesis to James Bond, it’s Benoit Blanc. He prefers a hard kombucha to a martini, has a live-in boyfriend instead of a string of women, and broods a lot less, so it’s no surprise that Daniel Craig gravitated towards a role like Detective Blanc after he hung up 007’s suit. 2019’s “Knives Out” proved that miracles still happen at the movie theater: it was a mid-sized original movie, with no connection to anything superhero (save a supporting role for Chris Evans) or any known brands, but it worked like gangbusters, haters of Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” be damned (also, you’re wrong if you’re a hater).
