By - Nick Adrian For fans of the 1996 original, action-packed blockbusters, and the return of the disaster movie It seems every well known older movie is getting its legacy sequel and 1996’s Bill Paxton/Helen Hunt vehicle Twister is no exception. The 90s classic followed a team of storm chasers desperate to learn more about the peculiar natural travesties. Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) helms the next chapter, a reboot or […]

By - Nick Adrian For fans of slow burn horror, 90s FBI procedurals, and Nicolas Cage Director Osgood Perkins was literally born into the world of horror film culture - he’s the son of Psycho’s Anthony Perkins. To make a name for himself, however, he’s directed a string of unique horror movies - the most recent being the Satanic serial killer mystery Longlegs. Perkins’ strengths as a writer-director culminate in this effort, giving us […]

By - Nick Adrian For fans of Americana, Wim Wenders, and Sam Shepard It’s been forty years since Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It won the Palme d’Or and went on to cement its place in cinema’s history - the Sam Shepard-penned script, the European eye viewing American landscapes, and the affecting performances ensuring its reputation.

By - Nick Adrian For fans of religious horror, nun-spolitation, and The Omen franchise Over the last few decades, successful horror films are rarely left alone. They are typically subjected to sequels, spin-offs, remakes, and occasionally, prequels. While this has become a growing trend with most successful films, the horror genre tends to bring unlimited opportunities for its producers - despite mixed to dismal results. However, this entry is different. […]

By - Nick Adrian For fans of religious horror, nunsploitation, and Sydney Sweeney Of the numerous millennial/Gen Z talents sprouting up in Hollywood recently, twenty-six year old Sydney Sweeney is one of our most prolific. Breaking out in television shows such as Euphoria and The White Lotus, Sweeney is establishing herself as not only a full-fledged movie star (roles in recent films such as Anyone But You and Madame Web) […]

By - Nick Adrian For fans of legendary sci-fi, big IMAX screens, and Denis Villeneuve Ever since its publication in 1965, filmmakers have dreamed, tried, and (for the most part) failed to adapt Frank Herbert’s massively influential science fiction novel, Dune. Alejandro Jodorowsky’s attempt to tackle the project in the 1970s never came to fruition, David Lynch’s 1984 version was a disappointment for many, and Sci-Fi Channel’s 2000 miniseries still […]

By - Nick Adrian For fans of musicals, bright cinematography, and the French New Wave By the early 1960s, the movie musical had started to run its course.
