Movie Breakdown: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Pre-Screening Stance: I don’t know if I can confidently say this 2022 entry into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise actually looks good, but I’m holding out hope it has some of that Halloween (2018) magic....

Movie Breakdown: The Cursed

Pre-Screening Stance: I haven’t seen any of writer/director Sean Ellis’ previous films and something about The Cursed feels a little low grade to me, but the presence of Boyd Holbrook and Kelly Reilly is enough...

Movie Breakdown: Scream

Pre-Screening Stance: A Scream movie not directed by Wes Craven is a bit of a bummer, but I think we all know that a franchise this meta definitely has a place in today’s world. Also,...

Movie Breakdown: The 355

Pre-Screening Stance: The cast for The 355 is a good one – Jessica Chastain, Penelope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong’o, Sebastian Stan – but it’s directed by Simon Kinberg, the guy behind the woeful X-Men:...
