One Night Only Review: A Rauchy Premise But A Safe Movie

Caillou Pettis — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:25:00 +0000

There is an inherently funny movie hiding somewhere inside One Night Only. The premise is outrageous enough to support a sharp romantic comedy, a biting satire of government overreach, or even a chaotic farce about modern dating. Directed and produced by Will Gluck from a screenplay by Travis Braun, the film imagines a United States ...

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma Review: A Cozy Nightmare With Teeth

Caillou Pettis — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 18:00:00 +0000

There is something wonderfully strange about a movie that understands exactly why people fall in love with horror movies in the first place. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, is less interested in reinventing the slasher than it is in examining the strange, obsessive relationship audiences can develop ...

Nimrods Review: A Big-Hearted Road Trip

Caillou Pettis — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 15:55:00 +0000

Lee Kirk‘s Nimrods is the kind of coming-of-age comedy that wears its influences proudly. Drawing inspiration from the scrappy beginnings of Green Day’s rise to fame, the film blends adolescent ambition, reckless optimism, and cross-country misadventures into an entertaining road trip that celebrates friendship and the pursuit of impossible dreams. While it occasionally overstays its ...

Soulm8te Review: A Lifeless Spin-Off

Caillou Pettis — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 15:30:00 +0000

Expanding the M3GAN universe always seemed like an intriguing idea. The franchise had already proven there was room for more stories exploring artificial intelligence, obsession, and humanity’s dangerous dependence on technology. Instead of following another killer doll, Soulm8te shifts its focus toward a companion android designed to fill emotional voids after loss, aiming for a ...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review: The Web-Slinger’s Finest Hour

Caillou Pettis — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 16:30:28 +0000

Spider-Man has always been defined by reinvention. Every generation gets its own interpretation of Peter Parker, and every era finds a different way to explore the burden of responsibility that comes with wearing the mask. Spider-Man: Brand New Day embraces that idea wholeheartedly, delivering a fresh chapter that honors what came before while confidently pushing ...

The Devil’s Mouth Review: Kathryn Newton Deserves Better

Caillou Pettis — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 19:25:19 +0000

Survival thrillers live and die by tension. Whether the threat comes from the open ocean, the depths of a cave, or a relentless predator, the audience needs to believe that every decision matters and every second could be the difference between life and death. The Devil’s Mouth certainly has an appealing premise on paper: a ...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review: Tom Holland Owns the Role

Anthony Whyte — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:24:59 +0000

Let’s just go ahead and rip off the webbing. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a movie with a messy narrative built around an excellent Spider-Man. The movie understands Peter Parker so well that many of the movies problems become easy to overlook. The story gets crowded, the villain disappoints, and some characters feel included because ...

The Dink Review: Serving Up Weak Comedy

Caillou Pettis — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 20:39:39 +0000

Sports comedies live and die by two things: the chemistry between their ensemble and whether they can make audiences care about a game they may know little about. The Dink, director Josh Greenbaum‘s comedy centered on the exploding popularity of pickleball, has an undeniably amusing premise. It pits traditional tennis against its younger, rapidly growing ...

Her Private Hell Review: Style Devours Substance

Caillou Pettis — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 22:47:56 +0000

Nicolas Winding Refn has built a career on hypnotic imagery, glacial pacing, and stories that blur the line between beauty and brutality. Films like Drive and The Neon Demon proved that his distinctive aesthetic could elevate familiar narratives into unforgettable cinematic experiences. With Her Private Hell, however, Refn pushes his artistic instincts so far into ...

They Fight Review: A Well-Meaning Boxing Drama That Struggles

Caillou Pettis — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 18:00:00 +0000

Sports dramas have always thrived on familiar formulas. Audiences expect stories about redemption, underdogs overcoming impossible odds, and mentors finding purpose through guiding the next generation. Those conventions aren’t inherently a problem—some of the greatest films in the genre, from Rocky to Coach Carter, prove that familiar storytelling can still feel emotionally powerful when supported ...

Emmanuel "E-Man" Noisette — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 16:56:09 +0000
