Voices: The Danny Gans Story Voices: The Danny Gans Story is a documentary that has a little song, a little dance, a little laughter, a little tears. And, like the man’s Vegas show, is totally worth seeing.

Danny Gans was a #lasvegas fixture who never achieved wider fame. His life is recollected in the #documentaryfilm VOICES. With equal parts elegy & excavation, VOICES is totally worth seeing.

Hamlet Visually and atmospherically, Hamlet is immersive, even hypnotic. But the play’s the thing, and here, too much has been left in the wings. Aneil Karia’s version is less feast, more tasting menu.…

Riz Ahmed’s HAMLET is bold, stylish & stripped to the bone. Purists may bristle, but it’s an intriguing, modern swing at the Bard. “Ay, there’s the rub.”

A Violent Masterpiece Astonishing and compelling. Read it. Just don’t expect to come out clean.

This is crime fiction dipped in neon & itchy with gasoline. A crazy mix of sleaze and glamor. And a beat that goes beyond mere noir.
Jordan Harper doesn’t go easy. He floors it.

Bodycam You have no doubt seen scarier Mardi Gras floats.

BODYCAM blends digital dread with today’s zeitgeist in distrust of authority but the result only hovers on the horror periphery.
In fact, you have no doubt seen scarier Mardi Gras floats. ☠️

Carry Me To My Grave Carry Me To My Grave is a road trip from hell. And yes, it absolutely rips.

All Is Fine in ’89 This is Better Off Dead if filmed by Oliver Stone.

The #GenX teen drama ALL IS FINE IN ’89 proudly checks every box on the 80s high school SAT test but ultimately swerves into something far darker.

The Bulldogs Beautiful and immersive.

THE BULLDOGS is beautiful, immersive, and deeply human. A documentary that, like life, doesn’t provide closure.

The Human, Will Welcoming, relatable, and deliciously chaotic.

Sly snark and a relatable, awkward celebration of the weirdness of normalcy, THE HUMAN, WILL is instantly likeable. And damn funny.

Ghost of Home Beautifully shot and unapologetically experimental, the result is less a story and more a mood.

Beautifully shot & unapologetically experimental. GHOST OF HOME is bold & striking.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. Totally have to check it out.

Still Standing Compact, urgent, and undeniably affecting

STILL STANDING captures the haunting limbo after the #Eaton fire with unsettling imagery & a simmering emotional pull. No faces, just fragments & fallout. Brief, urgent & a clear call for accountability.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters If Monarch keeps its focus on titans, tension, and letting Kurt Russell do what Kurt Russell does best, this could finally be the MonsterVerse series that stomps instead of strolls.

Apple TV’s MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS finally delivers titanic kaiju action hitched to classic Kurt Russell one liners.

Danny Is My Boyfriend Danny Is My Boyfriend feels like National Lampoon shared a cringy, three martini lunch with Curb Your Enthusiasm. The resulting style is scrappy, original, and chaotic.

The ad libbed #indie comedy DANNY IS MY BOYFRIEND has jokes that both burst with fire & merely smolder. Yet the film’s freewheeling charm sticks the landing.

Staring Contest Staring Contest is a 99 second animated short that might be brief on run time but is lengthy in topic.

Courtney Sposato’s animated short STARING CONTEST is deceptively simple but packs a political punch.

Seaweed Snacks Slightly dark, sharply funny, and just unhinged enough to feel familiar.

Murphy’s Ranch Set to the pulse of an 80s PI show, John Michael Riva’s Murphy’s Ranch is a hip, clever short that ends way too soon.

MURPHY'S RANCH has 2 working-class adopted brothers going against everyone’s favorite villain. This #shortfilm has a hip #80s PI vibe that deserves to be seen.

The LeMieurs The LeMieurs has a haunting feeling throughout that makes this documentary as compelling as it is transitory.

Observant, empathetic, and quietly powerful. THE LEMIEURS is unafraid to sit in uncomfortable truths about family and legacy.

Cold Storage Cold Storage is a horror comedy that proudly teeters between farce and full body splatter. Enjoyable in the moment but will probably not have a long shelf life, title notwithstanding.

COLD STORAGE is an unapologetic, pulpy, B-movie, creature feature. Fast-paced, gory, and even charming. Fun while it lasts, easy to forget once the credits roll.

Broken Broken features six stand-alone novellas each telling the story of an individual, group, or situation broken in some way. Some stories enlighten a restoration. Others wallow in their shattered mess…

Total scifi popcorn. Glad you liked the review.
And all the best to you with your writing ventures!

Detour A smart, entertaining ride that lives in that sweet spot between serious science and popcorn propulsion.

DETOUR moves faster than a rocket hitting stage separation & barely waits for you to buckle in. Rob Hart & Jeff Rake deliver smart sci-fi with a finale that shoves you out the airlock with a smile.

Send Help A lean, nasty, and surprisingly mature Sam Raimi outing.

SEND HELP plays like HR training written in blood. Raimi’s first non-IP horror in years is sharp and nasty with gorey fun.

In Cold Light In Cold Light has the look of a modern day, hard-edged crime thriller but all-too quickly settles into familiar, crime fiction grooves.

Maika Monroe and Troy Kotsur are intense in Maxime Giroux's IN COLD LIGHT... but the genre predictable film rarely surprises.

Primate Primate is pure creature-feature schlock and proudly revels in it.

PRIMATE turns a rabid chimp into a full-blown slasher and somehow makes it work. Goofy, gory, horror with legit practical f/x and a killer setting.
