Movie Breakdown: Bill & Ted Face The Music

Pre-Screening Stance: I’m admittedly on the fence when it comes to a new Bill & Ted entry. I like the first movie, but the second one is too batshit bonkers for its own good. Also,...

Movie Breakdown: Centigrade

Pre-Screening Stance: Centigrade doesn’t look as creepy/scary as Relic, Sputnik and other recent IFC Midnight releases, but that’s OK since I’m generally a sucker for survival movies, especially those that are based on actual events....

Movie Breakdown: Get Duked!

Pre-Screening Stance: I didn’t know that Get Duked! even existed until a screener rolled into my inbox, but after checking out the trailer, I think it looks like it could be a good time. Post-Screening...

Movie Breakdown: Unhinged

Pre-Screening Stance: If it were any other year, I think it’s possible that there would have been some buzz about Russell Crowe playing a villain in a trashy-looking B-movie. However, considering the current state of...

Movie Breakdown: Sputnik

Pre-Screening Stance: I’ve been really into the last couple of IFC Midnight releases (The Wretched, Relic), and I’d love to see that snazzy streak continue on with Sputnik. My gut says that it will, as...

Movie Breakdown: Boys State (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: Boys State was a big pick-up by A24. A documentary about, well, Boys State, a yearly Foreign Legion sponsored government camp where teenage dudes become teenage dudes who know stuff about government. It’s...

Pre-Screening Stance: IFC Midnight puts out some good horror flicks. IFC Midnight also puts out some not so great horror flicks. The trailer for Sputnik – a Russian alien flick from the looks of it...

Movie Breakdown: A Thousand Cuts (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: Though I am well aware of the crazily violent, misogynistic and increasingly dictatorial President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, I will admit to knowing next-to-nothing about the subject of A Thousand Cuts, Maria...

Movie Breakdown: Yes, God, Yes

Pre-Screening Stance: Yes, God, Yes looks a bit like 2004’s Saved!, which is certainly a good thing. Also, even though Stranger Things has lost its way a bit, it’s still exciting to see people from...

Movie Breakdown: Relic (Noah)

Pre-Screening Stance: This movie looks f’n scary. And not in the “pandemic-knocking-on-my-bedroom-window-while-the-American-government-flies-fighter-planes-over-national-monuments-instead-of-doing-a-damn-thing” kind of scary. Just like normal, good old fashioned, a little-pee-in-my-pants, terrifying. This is what I want right now. This kind of terror....
