Movie Breakdown: Devotion

Pre-Screening Stance: The trailer for Devotion didn’t do a lot for me, but I sure do like Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell. Also, I had a pretty good time with director J.D. Dillard’s previous film,...

In Review: Austin Film Fest 2022

Like with SXSW and Fantastic Fest, it was really nice to see Austin Film Fest fully back on its feet this year. Here’s everything that I managed to catch. THE WHALE Plot: An immensely obese...

Movie Breakdown: Wendell & Wild

Fantastic Fest is fully back, baby! Or at least it was, as it’s now come and gone. I think I’ve recovered? Honestly, it’s difficult to say, but either way, here are my top 10 films...
