Riddle of Fire

Posted on May 15, 2024 by Joel Hilke

I feel like a real bully for giving this imaginative and clever film a relatively low score. But I can’t help it when so much of its right but way more of its wrong. So call me Scut Farkus because … Continue reading →

Lazareth

Posted on May 14, 2024 by Joel Hilke

Lazareth is a viral outbreak thriller that tries very hard but has internal logical consistency issues that are hard to ignore. Your reaction to such a thing will depend on how much patience you have for this somber, internally focused … Continue reading →

Sleeping Dogs

Posted on May 13, 2024 by Joel Hilke

After a pretty solid first act, I got lost in the weeds, distracted, and wound up having no idea what was going on this movie. So I stopped, reversed, and picked it up where it’d lost me. I then got … Continue reading →

Courier, The

Posted on May 12, 2024 by Joel Hilke

I (almost) got nothing. The Courier is one of those movies where I paused and realize there’s a full hour and change left and I have no idea how they are going to fill the time. Repeat at a half … Continue reading →

Breathe (2024)

Posted on May 11, 2024 by Joel Hilke

Breathe is a small-scale post-apocalyptic thriller/sci-fi film that has a decent opening act but slowly slides off a cliff. It’s about the near future where all the oxygen has gone… somewhere <shrug>. All the plants are dead, most of the … Continue reading →

New Life

Posted on May 11, 2024 by Joel Hilke

New Life is a stark, barren, cold thriller/horror film about a woman on the run and an agent sent to capture her before its too late. It hides what’s “really going on” so I’ll be vague too… though it has … Continue reading →

Finals: Attack on Wembley

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Joel Hilke

The Final: Attack on Wembley promises to be a combination of the January 6 attack on the US capitol and the dumpster fire that was Woodstock ’99. And nothing against how violent it got, the end of the day of … Continue reading →

Mother of the Bride

Posted on May 10, 2024 by Joel Hilke

Mother of the Bride is an inconsequential and rather uninspired Netflix rom-com that, to my mind, has one interesting thing in it: Brooke Shields. Not that I’ve been biding my time for her return, but it is nice to see … Continue reading →

Prom Dates

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Joel Hilke

Well, I did it to myself, really. I went to watch this comedy on Hulu but the app decided to forget who I was and I was too damn lazy to log in again. So I pulled up Disney+ which … Continue reading →

Mars Express

Posted on May 6, 2024 by Joel Hilke

I didn’t know what to expect from Mars Express when I sat down in the theater. I just knew it was animated sci-fi… didn’t know it was French nor did I know it would have this cool rotoscoped style. With … Continue reading →
