‘The Trial of the Chicago 7’ is One the Best 2020 Has to Offer
The story of “Punch-Drunk Love” begins with “Saturday Night Live,” or at least that’s how Adam Sandler tells it on this week’s episode of the “SmartLess” podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. Sandler remembered it was a fateful meeting between himself and Tom Cruise during a Nicole Kidman-hosted episode of the…

I’m always a little bit cautious about anthology films. There’s been a few that I’ve liked. (I recently enjoyed Tales From Parts Unknown, for instance.) But most of the time, horror anthology films tend to leave me feeling rather disappointed. The good segments always seem as if they’re too short while the bad segments seem […]
Horror Film Review: American Nightmares (dir by Darin Scott and Rusty Cundieff)
This was my first viewing, and I have no idea why or how I added it to this year’s lineup. In fact, most of my Letterboxd friends didn’t like it. The mystery of how it got on my list made me wanted to see it more. And, what the heck […]

‘Honest Thief’ Review: Liam Neeson’s Action Stardom Finds Its Limits In Bland Action-Thriller
Today’s horror on the lens is a made-for-tv movie directed by Wes Craven. First televised in 1984, Invitation to Hell is a wonderfully over-the-top depiction of what happens when an engineer (Robert Urich) sells out and goes to work for a big evil corporation. Long story short, Satan (in the form of Susan Lucci) takes […]

It’s October 2020, which means that it’s been a full decade. At this very moment, ten years ago, the whole world was watching Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.

It was […]
