Movie Breakdown: Boy Kills World
Pre-Screening Stance: There isn’t anything about Boy Kills World that doesn’t look over the top and bonkers. So, my guess is the movie will either be a rollicking good time or something that’s just too...

Movie Breakdown: Challengers
Pre-Screening Stance: The lead up to Challengers has been interesting. It looks great and it’s from a wonderful director, Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Bones & All), but it’s as though no one...
Movie Breakdown: Abigail
Pre-Screening Stance: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have been on a pretty solid roll – they directed the last two Scream films + Ready Or Not – and Abigail feels/looks like it will be another...
Movie Breakdown: The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Pre-Screening Stance: Guy Ritchie hoodwinked me last year with the fun-looking but ultimately lackluster Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre and – if I’m being honest – The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is giving me similar...
Movie Breakdown: Civil War

Movie Breakdown: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire
Pre-Screening Stance: I had a great time with Godzilla Vs Kong and while I’m put off by the thoroughly terrible title that is Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, I have faith in returning-director Adam...
Movie Breakdown: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Pre-Screening Stance: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire looks like it’s sticking to the somewhat new, somewhat nostalgic path that was paved in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and I’m OK with that. Though, I will say, it’s a bit of...
Movie Breakdown: Problemista
Pre-Screening Stance: Problemista stars the always great Tilda Swinton, and writer/director/co-star Julio Torres (SNL, Los Espookys) seems to have crafted it into a Michel Gondry-esque sort of trip. I’m in all the way. Post-Screening Ramble:...
Movie Breakdown: Love Lies Bleeding
Pre-Screening Stance: Love Lies Bleeding has one of those all-out electric trailers that always riles me up whenever I come across it. Hopefully the film delivers. Post-Screening Ramble: Where Dune: Part Two is the first...
