Maybe it was a blessing that I wasn't invited to the Michael press screening. Completely feels like a fake movie to me.

A hot new bombshell has entered the Villa.

Welp got hacked on twitter. so here i am back to the other gutter.

‘Over Your Dead Body’ Review: Jason Segel and Samara Weaving Hilariously Fight Till Death Do Them Part Weaving and Segel excel as a couple straight out of hell.

Jason Segel and Samara Weaving get on their Mr. & Mrs. Smith meets Tom & Jerry shit in Jorma Taccone's OVER YOUR DEAD BODY— a hilarious gory bloodfest that sees him upgrading his action skillset since ripping throats out in MacGruber.

'Lee Cronin’s The Mummy' Review: A Bloated, Formulaic Horror Better Left in the Crypt Man, they’re 0/2 with non-Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY got solid moments of grisly grossness but this part-EXORCIST/part-SEVEN horror is a bland, lethargic slog that should've been left in the crypt. SO MANY SAUCELESS SPLIT-DIOPTER SHOTS! How is that possible?!

'Mother Mary’ Review: Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel Ignite a Haunting Pop Fever Dream Insane how David Lowery said Taylor Swift’s Reputation was the inspiration when this is Gaga's "Perfect Celebrity (Lowery Version)."

I had to refrain from screaming "MOTHER" at pop star Anne Hathaway during David Lowery's MOTHER MARY — an intoxicating Hathaway/Michaela Coel two-hander about a popstar and her former fashion designer tryna "work it out on the remix".

Black Bear (2020)’s web connects them all.

Every Phil Lord and Chris Miller-Directed Movie Ranked With Project Hail Mary being their most ambitious and prestigious live-action production to date, now is a better time than ever to rank all five Lord & Miller directed productions.

Starting today at Rendy Reviews, we’re launching our ‘Ranked’ series for paying subscribers.

With PROJECT HAIL MARY out now making us sob with Gos Gos, there’s no better place to start than with my fave filmmaking duo Phil Lord & Chris Miller.

"Star Wars" Keeps Its Animation on the Dark Side (Literally) with "Maul - Shadow Lord" Perpetuates my fears about Dave Filoni and this new era of “Star Wars.”

For @ebertvoices.bsky.social, I reviewed MAUL — SHADOW LORD. By far it's the highest-quality Lucasfilm CG series to date. However, its insistance on aura over insight on the former Sith Lord it furthers my trepidation towards this new Filoni era.

Wagner Moura rules tho.

Had a blast chatting about Project Hail Mary+ other Sci-fi gems with these wonderful professionals. So honored to have been a guest! Take a listen!

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Review: Let's-a stop! Functions like a Mario improv troupe — operates on a continuous string of "yes, ands" with no structural discipline.

Going bigger while delivering less, as Illumination sequels tend to do, THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE functions like a Mario improv troupe. It operates on a continuous string of "yes, ands" with no structural discipline. Yoshi's Egg on my face for hoping to be at least entertaining.

‘The Drama’ Review: Zendaya and Robert Pattinson Lead a Twisted Rom-Com That Turns “I Do” Into Existential Chaos A rollercoaster of a postmodern ‘70s-style AMERICAN rom-com that does everything but skimp out on its title.

I thought THE DRAMA to be a sharp, well-crafted, funny, tragic fable about the importance of accepting one's entire past before saying "I do." But Kristoffer Borgli is growing irksome on me with the same "fragile ego death slow-burn" storyline he's been doing for three films straight.

My review:

‘Forbidden Fruits’ Review: Witchy Mall Horror Comedy is Pure 2000s Mean-Girl Magic For the late-millennial/Gen-Z girlies who wished Limited Too had a Mean Girls and The Craft section in 2004.

I love Meredith Alloway's FORBIDDEN FRUITS so much. It conjures up an hilarious gothic/femme witchy throwback, fueled by sharp wit, and subversive character work. Truly for the now-adult girlies who always wished Limited Too had a MEAN GIRLS and THE CRAFT section in their youth.

‘They Will Kill You’ Review: Zazie Beetz Shines in a Stylish but Repetitive Bloodbath It's about time Zazie Beetz wields a sword. She’s deserved her own action vehicle since Deadpool 2 , but nobody gave it to her. Kirill Sokolov got her on her Pam Grier shit, fighting against a bu...

I really wanted to love THEY WILL KILL YOU out of SXSW but it goes from a delightful, blood-soaked ‘70s-style remix to a tedious experience hella fast. But please more Zazie Beetz lead roles @ Hollywood. Give her better action vehicles.

"Daredevil: Born Again" Stays Blind to the Cultural Moment in Season 2 Its restrictive character writing and dull, self-contained storytelling result in a middling, slow-building season.

“This sophomore season offers some catharsis in a more narratively focused, albeit weaker, follow-up that shares a closer identity with the original Netflix series, for better and for worse,” writes @rendy.bsky.social about DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN.

'Adam's Apple' Beautifully and Complexly Captures Trans Boyhood Amy K. Jenkins' intimate dual compilation portrait, Adam's Apple, about her trans son Adam Sieswerda, feels like a powerful response to the Trump era's inaccurate views of trans kids.

Amy K. Jenkins’ intimate dual compilation portrait, Adam’s Apple, about her trans son Adam Sieswerda, is a raw and vulnerable, decade-sprawling tale about a rural northeastern family’s evolution as the eldest child embarks on a transition journey.

'Ready or Not 2: Here I Come Review: Radio Silence's Blood-Soaked Sister-centric Sequel is Sillier than Sinister Remains a gory, entertaining ride, even if it isn’t quite the level-up the sequel should’ve been.

Hi internet friends, I'm omw to SXSW (covering for Rendy Reviews and freelancer assignments). Rent just went through and need any sort of food/travel support. If anyone is so kind to send funds, I'd be so grateful. Also, my birthday is Friday.

‘The Bride!’ Review: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Stylish Monster Movie is a Chaotic, Half-Formed Feminist ‘Joker’ Even with Buckley’s showstopping lead and bursts of striking imagery, The Bride never comes alive.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's THE BRIDE is just a *Bo Burnham voice* a whiiiiite womaaaaaaan. A white woman's Joker film.

‘Hoppers’ Review: Pixar Gets Weird in Daniel Chong’s Darkly Funny Animal Comedy If the creator of We Bare Bears can make Pixar's best movie in years, who knows what great films lie within every animation television creator?

HOPPERS is the weirdest, most unhinged, and unpredictable movies to come out of Pixar in years. But for Daniel Chong, this is just another Monday. Nevertheless, it's the best shock to the system the studio had to its system since TURNING RED.

'Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie' Review: Canada’s Geekiest Comedy Duo Craft a Time-Traveling All-Timer It's like if Matt Johnson spliced Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and doused it in maple syrup.

Wish I could time-travel to SXSW 2025 and experience NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE all over again. God, I haven’t been obsessed with something this Canadian since Scott Pilgrim.

‘GOAT’ Review: Sony Animation’s Basketball Flick Slightly Bleats Out Formulaic Story with Heart and Striking Visuals Tyree Dillihay’s directorial debut is sincere and stunning, baaaaaaa-uuuuut lacks the game to appeal to beyond the youngest of viewers.

GOAT: Man, I wished I liked this more. Tyree Dillihay’s directorial debut has bleating heart and stunning visuals, baaaaaaa-uuuuut lacks the innovation as past Sony Animation fare and the game to appeal to beyond the youngest of viewers.

'By Design' Review: Juliette Lewis Shines as a Chair in Esoteric Feminist Take on the Body Swap Formula | Sundance 2025 Only Amanda Kramer could make me believe that being inanimate feels more exciting than being alive.

Really enjoyed Amanda Kramer's BY DESIGN when I saw it at Sundance last year. Juliette Lewis body switches with a chair. No seriously. It's absurd, theatrical, esoteric and sturdy...like a chair.

Hits theaters Friday. Def check it out.

For the night crowd. Beautiful gowns. beautiful gowns.

The trailer is at least good!
