A gut-punch in every sense of the phrase, it’s especially sad that a story of such racial issues and brutal from law enforcement is as relevant as it is today.

Shooting for an over-the-top, inspirational narrative mixed with some fresh stylistic choices, this new take on Cinderella relies heavily on feeling modern and its star-studded cast to deliver a fun yet predictable fairytale.
Candyman (2021) is a reboot while simultaneously acting as a semi-sequel, however, it never entirely commits to being either one. Having seen the original 1992 film would only enhance your understanding of who the Candyman is, but this 2021 edition also easily stands on its own. There are several glimpses of brilliance, but it never entirely amounts to what it aimed to do.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a blast from start to finish. Packed with action, drop in some drama and make it complete with comedy. This cast works so well together on screen with such chemistry, and they really elevate one another’s performance. Everything felt so fresh and unique in the best ways, and I think everyone will be pleased with different aspects of the movie.
The Green Knight is a haunting and offbeat adaptation of King Arthur lore that comes together utilizing unparalleled and inventive cinematic techniques to form a gem of visuals and wonder. I feel that I could watch this five more times (I just might do it), and my appreciation for this film would only grow.
Don’t be fooled by the trailer or some of the marketing for this movie. It isn’t an action movie, it’s a dramatic-crime-thriller, and it’s all the better for it. The unconventional nature of how this is set up is part of the appeal, refusing to follow an ABCDE structure and opting for a winding storyline that results in real answers.
While it has a heartfelt message that tries really hard, that message falls flat. Combining elements of a road trip movie with a coming of age and an LGBTQ drama, it all starts to feel like a little much when you toss it all in the salad at once. Everyone’s heart was in the right place here.
We all saw the commercial that premiered during the Super Bowl earlier this year (even though that already feels like years ago). With a phenomenal cast along with an instantly interesting premise, people (myself included) were excited to see what M. Night Shyamalan had up his sleeve for us this time.
The Last Letter From Your Lover premieres today on Netflix, and its great cast combined with a well thought out soundtrack form a nice film. While it is familiar, there are charming moments in this sappy romance.
This is the role Udo Kier was born to play. We need to see more from him, so make sure this film isn’t his Swan Song. Come for the wicked dry comedy. Stay to see Kier lip sync Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” in drag.
