The posters for VERITY boldly pronounce, "There is no light where we are going." For full transparency, it should have also added "and no human dialogue and an incredibly impossible story with plot holes the size of New Jersey". I so wanted this film to be a 2020's version of the superb erotic thrillers of the 80's like "Basic Instinct" and "Jagged Edge". It's just begging for a smooth Jerry Goldsmith music score. Alas. We meet writer Lowen Ashleigh (a fine Dakota Johnson) whose author...

Is there anything more reliable these days than how enjoyable the latest Jason Statham action flick will be? MUTINY is another cracking thriller, packed with fast paced action, a rip-roaring revenge story and just the right amount of drama behind the thrills. Statham is on a roll the past few years, delivering exactly what we expect and count on every. single. time. Since 2024, he's served up "The Beekeeper", "A Working Man", "Shelter" and now this Die-Hard-on-the-high-seas that...

Sitting through Inarritu's excruciating new film DIGGER is like being locked in a lecture hall with a smug, angry, ageist, America-hating professor who hits you over the head with their same opinion over and over again for 129 minutes, while a boombox in the corner plays the most excruciating accompanying music you can imagine. But wait! It's supposed to be funny satire! When you talk about film satire to me, I think about Robert Altman's "M*A*S*H*" or Paddy Chayefsky's "The Hospital" or...

"I was, to be frank, a spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive and thoughtless young lout and badly in need of a good ass-kicking." So begins the opening frame of TONY with Anthony Bourdain's description of his 19-year-old self. The biographical film that follows plunges us into the summer of 1975, with the young, overly confident Bourdain bullshitting his way through a pitch to a college committee, his parents at home and every young woman within range. By carving out a tale that...

ONE NIGHT ONLY is so much more than what I expected. It's hilarious. It's a very sexy throwback to frank 70's and 80's film comedies AND it's got a strange "Purge"-style one night event around sex. I don't know how this works, but it does! Credit two guys that have spent a lot of time making solid kids content, that apparently had a lot of pent up ideas for adult content that explode onto screen in style. Director Will Gluck turned out the family-friendly and funny "Peter Rabbit" and its...

Shouting that Zach Cregger's RESIDENT EVIL is the best RE film ever isn't loud enough. It's the goriest body horror flick since John Carpenter's "The Thing" and the best video game adaption I've ever seen. That's mostly a tribute to the fact that he's not trying to create a first-player game for the big screen. Cregger creates a hilarious, suspenseful, well-shot horror thriller that weaves in some incredible references to the game while carving out an experience very much his own. I laughed...

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere Las Vegas

Jaw dropping. WOW. One of a kind. I could list twenty more superlatives and they wouldn't begin to capture the experience of seeing the 1939 classic THE WIZARD OF OZ at The Sphere in Las Vegas. I should preface my take with the fact that I've never been a big fan of the film. Surely it was a yearly TV tradition in the sixties, where my family would gather to watch it in front of our 19" color TV. In my youngest years, that damn witch would scare the hell out of me, along with her squadron of...
