New Releases: Renfield – R.M. Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) decides to leave his centuries-long line of work as a henchman and familiar to Count Dracula (Nicolas Cage) and finds a new lease on life in modern-day New Orleans when he falls in love with a feisty but perennially aggressive traffic cop named Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina). Expectations: …
New Releases: The Super Mario Bros. Movie – For a nineties kid like myself, I am owed an accurate adaptation of possibly the most widely recognized video games of all time because the one we got in 1993 feels like a fever dream. Nintendo partnering with the Despicable Me studio Illumination Entertainment might be the gift …
New Releases: John Wick: Chapter 4 – The anticipation of the most incredible action film of 2023 is so big in my mind right now and seeing the advance reviews from critics I respect online and friends who have gotten the privilege of seeing it last week has me over the moon with excitement. I really …
New Releases: Shazam!: Fury Of The Gods – After a few delays, what appears to be the final part of the DC Cinematic Universe as we know it is ready to debut. It is unknown, in the future, if Zachary Levi will continue to be the super version of young Billy Batson but I really …

New Releases: Magic Mike’s Last Dance – Channing Tatum has returned to possibly the most popular character of his career for the final time but is in great company as Steven Soderbergh has resumed his position behind the camera and the lovely Salma Hayek is Mike’s new top lady. I will admit that the series …
New Releases: Knock At The Cabin – We get some brand new M. Night Shyamalan this week, surely guaranteed to have some sort of a quirky twist and it brings to mind how fantastic this filmmaker can be but also how much the hype of his work can let audiences down. Of course, The Sixth …
New Releases: Infinity Pool – With the moves that Brandon Cronenberg has been making in film, it is only a matter of time before he is regarded on his own rather than being referred to as David Cronenberg’s son. He has made disturbing content in the form of the almost satirical Antiviral and the violent …
New Releases: The Son – When Florian Zeller made his dementia-fueled drama The Father with Anthony Hopkins, I was quickly given the knowledge that this was a filmmaker who had a definite grip on how these sad situations played out but to do it from the point of view of the man suffering from it …
