In Hollywood they say that timing is everything. And in the case of The Spy Who Dumped Me, the timing – whether intentional or otherwise – couldn’t have been any worse. The film releases on the heels of the Tom Cruise action juggernaut, Mission: Impossible – Fallout ...
Jumpin’ Jesus on a pogo stick! The Devil’s Doorway, released by IFC Midnight, is all sorts of intense. If Satan made 16mm home movies in 1960, then this 76-minute flick is probably what it would look like. The Devil’s Doorway is disturbing as it tells the story of two priests ...
Sometimes fairy tales can be very real. Even the most terrifying ones. The Incantation, starring Dean Cain and Sam Valentine, dusts off the idea of the power of fairy tales with a horrific look at just how demented they actually are. Page by page, inspired by a child’s story ...
In spite of its title, Sorry to Bother You is indeed out to bother you. But sorry about it? Not hardly. The film marks the directorial debut of Oakland-based rapper-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley, and what a debut it is. It is a weird and bizarre film, yet also insanely brilliant. At times ...

Failure. Eliminate. Obey. Kill. Because we all go a little crazy sometimes. Beginning with a montage of rather extreme events, Distorted is a thrilling ride through the unconscious mind. The film, full of horrific images and deadly taunts, builds its own tower of paranoia that ...
Remember that invigorating sense of wild-eyed wonder and amazement we all felt the first time we saw a real dinosaur? Ok, it wasn’t “real” but it did seem like it when that Brachiosaurus stomped into the scene back in 1993’s Jurassic Park, chomping mouthfuls of leaves as Laura ...
Drug deals encounter Jiu-Jitsu and well-manicured hair in this upmarket remake of what was once a memorable and super gritty Blaxploitation classic. Super Fly from 1972 might have been a haphazard and guerilla-styled shoot in NYC, but at least ...
If you only take away one thing from Morgan Neville’s new documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor, it should be that Fred Rogers, the man behind the long-running PBS children’s show Mister Rogers Neighborhood, was exactly what we always thought he was – just an all-around ...
