Rating: R Stars: Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Viola Davis, Chris Messina, Julius Tennon, Chris Tucker, Matthew Maher, Marlon Wayans, Damian Young Writer: Alex Convery Director: Ben Affleck Distributor: Amazon Studios Release Date: April 5, 2023 (theatrical) It might be easier to find Bigfoot than a person in modern society who doesn’t know what an Air Jordan is. Likewise, pretty much everybody knows that Nike makes the shoe, and that it is the namesake of basketball great Michael Jordan. All of this makes it a pleasant surprise that AIR, the dramatized story of how Nike got into business with […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Stephanie Kirves, Dylan DeVane, Chloe Rhoades, Tyler Miller, Benjamin Newmark, Reggie Johnson, Howard Hawkins, Alex Ussery, Kellan Rudnicki Writers: Brendan Rudnicki & Kellan Rudnicki Director: Brendan Rudnicki Distributor: DBS Films Release Date: March 31, 2023 The new FOREST OF DEATH is not to be confused with either the 2007 Hong Kong film of the same name or any of the entries in the Japanese DEATH FOREST series. Instead, this FOREST OF DEATH is a modest but fairly well-done low-budget horror movie. It’s uneven, but its merits add up to more than its faults. For starters, the […]Read On »

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
HYPNOTICA movie poster | ©2023 Terror Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Adam Johnson, Tim Torre, Taylor Foster, Marisa Echeverria Writer: A.T. Sharma Director: A.T. Sharma Distributor: Terror Films Release Date: March 31, 2023 (digital) HYPNOTICA opens with the supertitle: “The following is based on actual case studies.” This is broadly true, in the sense that psychiatrists treat patients for mental health issues. Oliver Reese (Adam Johnson) tells us in voiceover that, “I was going to Hell.” He then recites part of W.B. Yeats’s poem “The Stolen Child,” but substitutes “spirit” for “faery.” In fact, Oliver is going to see his psychiatrist, Mason Santino (Tim Torre). Oliver has […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Sydney Carvill, Wade Baker, Rob Shuster, Janet Carter, Suzana Norberg Writer: Jerrod Brito Director: Jake Byrd Distributor: Summer Hill Films Release Date: March 28, 2023 (DVD and digital) ADALYNN, narrated by the title character (Sydney Carvill), starts out as a movie about a woman having a very tough time with new motherhood. After beginning with an inexact analogy about polar bears, Adalynn introduces us to her new daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth is born two weeks early and won’t stop crying. Adalynn sets the alarm to get up every two hours to feed her, and between sleep deprivation […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Ian McShane, Clancy Brown Writers: Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, based on characters created by Derek Kolstad Director: Chad Stahelski Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: March 24, 2023 As the saying goes, JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 came to chew bubblegum and kick butt, and seldom has there been a movie so out of bubblegum. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 logs in at two hours and forty-nine minutes (including credits). There is butt-kicking, along with head-butting, shooting, swordfights, knife fights, fistfights, car […]Read On »

FOLLOWERS movie poster | ©2023 Terror Films

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Harry Jarvis, Loreece Harrison, Daniel Cahill, Erin Austen, Nina Wadia Writer: Marcus Harben Director: Marcus Harben Distributor: Terror Films Release Date: March 24, 2023 Right at the top of FOLLOWERS, we know something has gone horribly wrong. Zauna (Loreece Harrison), who we’ll shortly find out is a student documentarian, tells us we’re watching the story of “the cassette murders.” FOLLOWERS takes place in the present, but yes, that’s an audiocassette. We’ll find out its history in due course. Meanwhile, Zauna says, “This is the truth – share it.” We then get a title: “Day 1 (of […]Read On »

Langley has her own Wikipedia page, which notes (among other things) that the University of Leicester is still disputing THE LOST KING’s depiction of events. This all by itself […]Read On »
