The old Guard

The Old Guard Review

The Old Guard proves that aged dogs can learn plenty of new tricks, and could be Netflix's go-to action franchise if sequels are as good as this beginning.

You Should Have Left

You Should Have Left Review

You Should Have Left is a perfect example of how "forgettable" horror cinema is somehow more tedious than something that goes out in a blaze of failed ambition.

Jumbo

Jumbo Review [Chattanooga Film Festival 2020]

Yes, the movie where a girl falls in love with a Tilt-A-Whirl says more about self-assurance, romantic wilds, and personal comforts than most human-on-human counterparts.

Skull

Skull Review [Chattanooga Film Festival 2020]

Skull hacks, slashes, squishes, and severs its way to midnighter memorability as death comes at a premium in this gloriously gory practical effects showcase.

Scare Package Review

Scare Package Review [Chattanooga Film Festival 2020]

Scare Package, like the horror genre, might have some flaws, but it also has plenty of satirical slasher in-gags that'll slice through your funnybone like a machete through camp counselors.

The Lovebirds

The Lovebirds Review

The Lovebirds may unite two comedic heavyweights but always feels like its punching above its weight class (which is a commentary on scripted shortcomings, I assure you).

Scoob!

Scoob!'s an enjoyable-enough start to the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe, but may leave fans feeling robbed of the Scooby-centric reboot that they wanted.

Blood Quantum

Blood Quantum Review

Blood Quantum mixes fresh subgenre ideas with dependable and messy zombie gore for a successful balance of guts and glory.

Extraction

Extraction Review

Extraction is an overstuffed rescue mission that delivers heart-racing action but never keys into any further development beyond the sum of corpses on your screen.

Mortal Kombat Legends

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge Review

Scorpion's Revenge is a punishing deathmatch that embraces Mortal Kombat's interdimensional hellscape appeal, heavy on epic fatalities and even heavier on animated action exhilaration.
