I hate to tell an ambitious movie to pick a lane… but, seriously, this movie needs to pick a lane. The movie starts with one set of disturbing behavior and ends with a whole new bunch of freaky weirdness. Is … Continue reading
Redeeming Love is a deliberately old fashioned romance… which includes a host of things an old-fashioned romance wouldn’t have had. It’s about a proustite (named Angel) working in a bordello in 1850 gold rush California. Her blonde hair and purty … Continue reading

I confess to totally rating this reboot of the Resident Evil film franchise on an unfair curve. As a stand-alone horror film, it’s not so good. It has real problems but isn’t exactly a disaster. As a Resident Evil movie … Continue reading
This anthology has six short films (and no frame story, thankfully) filmed by and starring African Americans. It’s a Shudder spin-off to the Black Noire documentary from a few years ago. That doc promoted the history of black people in … Continue reading
