20 posts from 04 to 28 February 2026.

  • The Notebook

    Is this a joke? Are they parodying the romcom genre or is this the prototypical one, without any hint of any subversion whatsoever? Should have formed a polycule.

  • A History of Violence

    Cronenberg adapting a graphical novel is really great, he only injects body horror in small parts, the rest of the plot is scarier. The reverse Sicario, Alejandro really wants to repent.

  • Persona

    A more stereotypical Bergman, goading his wife not to speak for the whole film. This is all subtext, no text. So this is where Fincher nicked Fight Club from, including the single frame with an erect cock, what a blowhard.

  • If I Had Legs I'd Kick You

    It’s motherhood season out here. The Chronology of Water, Die My Love, and now this. This pays its dues to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind too. Hole-y unsane.

  • Prey

    Predator: Comanche. The protagonist gets thrown around a veritable meat grinder, until the predator goes down in the mud, reversing of the original film.

  • Knight and Day

    What if Bourne had less chemistry between the leads, more actors phoning it in, more shitty CGI, and more Rohypnol. The last spurts of Arnon Milchan’s career, good riddance.

  • No Other Choice

    The alternative to The Office, where David Brent is made redundant after 25 years but he actually likes the work, it has meaning to him. He doesn’t want to tour in a band.

  • Refúgio do Medo

    How did this collaboration came up? It’s spoken in three languages at least: Portuguese, Icelandic, and English to cross the language barrier.

  • Hamnet

    It’s no Upstart Crow, jusk like modern “biopics”, it leaves so much of the information outside the subtext, let alone the text. Fitting that Spielberg produces another film about daddy issues.

  • X-Men: Dark Phoenix

    Oh noes, space weather affected the Space Shuttle, so they need to rescue the space astronauts. Jean Grey sucks the space goo into her space body, but it seems she absorbed it all, just got a little bit weary for a while. No space cooties, OR IS IT?

  • X-Men: Apocalypse

    The X-Men lore is shot to hell anyway, who gives a shit about what happens here? I’m just here for J-Law. Bryan Singer does Denial from the Nazi side.

  • Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

    Shane Black does it again. This is hilarious, Val Kilmer should have won an Oscar for this gay private dick. Derringer in the balls, “homophobes never search there”. It’s like The Nice Guys, without the kid.

  • The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

    Let’s just say, I now understand why Stalin loved the John Ford films. Ideologically, this is absolutely hideous, borderline un-American in the deconstruction of a classic Western tale.

  • Shocker

    I’m shocked at this cast! Peter “Battleship” Berg as the fucking lead, what the fuck is this? Nepo baby Mitch “The X-Files” Pileggi as the mad killer? Fucking Dr. Timothy Leary as a televangelist that gets punched in the face?

  • What If

    Some supremely talented people doing their best to bring to life a not really good rom com. The individual scenes are good, but not the overarching plot. It’s sad, really.

  • Bad Teacher

    Oh, this is bad all right. So many tit-based “gags”. Poor Lucy Punch, she even does a “perfect” American accent. She has the best line: “Shut the FRONT DOOR”!

  • Abigail

    This is a high-concept gunk movie, with kids. It kinda works, but there are some ham-fisted decisions that make it falter. It should have polished its stakes a bit more.

  • Green Room

    Nazis Punks, Fuck Off! This was filmed around Portland, for an even more realistic environs. The script is barebones, but serviceable. I guess the antifa Hollywood forgot to promote this avowed leftist film.

  • Marty Supreme

    Supreme quality, no question about it. Gotta eat my hat, the hype was worth it. Still think One Battle After Another is better, but this is incredible.

  • Vivarium

    From the guy from Nocebo, here’s another (previous) horror film with some extremely on the nose subtext. This time it’s personal, it’s all about the suburban proletariat.
