A ★★★ review of Popcorn (1991)

Progress- now all you have to worry about when you go to a movie theater is someone shooting it up. I do wish there was more popcorn. The D in Dee Wallace stands for fun!

A ★★★½ review of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026)

Not quite the beat-by-beat redux of the first Ready or Not, but comes pretty close. Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton play well off each other despite their backstory feeling forced. Elijah Wood looks like he's having a lot of fun force feeding the audience necessary exposition. Radio Silence handles these scenes as well as you can as the info dumps rarely feel droning or tedious. If you're a fan of the first movie (I am) you don't mind seeing things retread as everything is bigger and bloodier. Set pieces are more elaborate, though you intuit the diminishing returns and miss

Movie Review: ‘Free Beer Tomorrow’ captures the heart of Columbus’ lesbian history

In 2023, a historical marker was permanently placed outside 2210 Summit St., the building that now houses Summit Music Hall. It tells the story of Summit Station — originally known as Jack’s A Go-Go — a women’s bar that, for decades, created a safe space for lesbians of all backgrounds to unite, laugh and love […]

A ★★½ review of The Descent: Part 2 (2009)

A completely unneccesary sequel to one of the best horror movies of the aughties. Relies on the soap opera plot point of amnesia to a key character because otherwise there wouldn't be any movie. Fails on every level when compared to the Neil Marshall original. The cave sets look laughably cheap and the once terrifying cave creatures look like swap meet cosplay. Almost in apology, the viewer is bathed in gore. Shauna MacDonald's haunting performance in the original is replaced by a 90's one dimensional action heroine and even by horror movie standards there are implausibilities you can't gloss over.

A ★★★ review of Crossfire (1947)

More Roberts than you can shake a stick at. Roberts Mitchum, Young and Ryan star in this 40s murder mystery that also takes the time to address the dangers of...anti-Semitism. The first act is a series of hiccup-y exposition dumps and it's not long before you hope it doesn't get too repetitive. It doesn't. The mystery itself is handled well enough as it becomes less a whodunnit than a why-dunnit. Everything is painted in broad strokes and all the actors play to their relative strengths. The ending feels abrupt but satisfying. You half expect a member of the cast to

A ★★★ review of The Bride! (2026)

The Bride has a, I'm sorry, THE BRIDE! has a lot going on in every single frame. If you can forgive the occasional stalls in the narrative and pointed momentum-stopping monologuing you'll have a really fun time. After seeing mopey Jessie Buckley in Net of the Ham, it's blast to see her play to the cheap seats. Christian Bale displays surprising depth under all that makeup. It's not a shock that Bale is great, but he's the only performer that's not amped to an 11 in every frame. If you like movie with titles of female archetypes that end with
