Rating: R Stars: Camille Sullivan, Sarah Durn, Brendan Sexton III, Charlie Talbert, Robin Bartlett, Caisey Cole, Anthony Baldasare, Eric Francis Melaragni, Michael Beach, Keith David, Emily Bennett, Derek Mears Writer: Chris Stuckmann, story by Samantha Elizabeth & Chris Stuckmann Director: Chris Stuckmann Distributor: Neon Release Date: October 24, 2025 SHELBY OAKS derives part of the power for its early sections by being unpredictable. Writer/director Chris Stuckmann, who developed the story with Samantha Elizabeth, keeps us guessing who we should be afraid for and what we should be afraid of. By the time Stuckmann and the film zero in on a […]Read On »

LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION is now available in its (so far) three-season entirety on Prime Video.

The third season of LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION sees original LEVERAGE regulars Gina Bellman and Christian Kane back for their eighth seasons as, respectively, expert role player Sophie Devereaux and […]Read On »

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Samuel Dunning, Felicia Day, Joel McHale, Danny Trejo, Keith David. Simson Snead Writer: Stimson Snead Director: Stimson Snead Distributor: Disrupt Entertainment Release Date: May 30, 2025 TIM TRAVERS & THE TIME TRAVELERS PARADOX treads a fine line. On the one hand, its heated and heady debates about the nature of time travel and the universe itself are discussions that the viewer can’t actually join. On the other hand, Tim Travers (Samuel Dunning) is presented as a snobbish jerk. We’re not sure if we want to spend time with even one of him, much less all the […]Read On »

LEONARDO DA VINCI Key Art | ©2024 PBS

It is perhaps impossible to overstate the influence of the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519, on subsequent civilization. Scientist, inventor, engineer, painter, sculptor and architect, da Vinci did so much that exploring his entire life seems a Herculean task. But that’s exactly what filmmakers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon set out to do with their four-hour documentary LEONARDO DA VINCI, which airs on PBS over two nights, Monday, November 18, and Tuesday, November 19. During PBS’s portion of the summer 2024 Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Sarah Burns (Ken Burns’s daughter) and McMahon (Sarah Burn’s husband) […]Read On »

Based on the book ERASURE by Percival Everett, AMERICAN FICTION examines who gets to write what, why they write it, and how it’s decided what gets marketed.

Movie Review: NOPE

NOPE poster | ©2022 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Brandon Perea, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, Keith David, Terry Notary Writer: Jordan Peele Director: Jordan Peele Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: July 22, 2022 NOPE has a title and trailer that suggests it’s going to be about people reacting with unexpected common sense to horror movie tropes. That’s not what NOPE turns out to be. This in itself isn’t a demerit; no movie should be judged by how it does or doesn’t adhere to its advertising, which is often created separate from the filmmakers. However, NOPE is an uneven mixed bag. Director/writer Jordan […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE NICE GUYS

THE NICE GUYS movie poster | ©2016 Warner Bros.

Rating: R Stars: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer, Margaret Qualley, Yaya DaCosta, Keith David, Beau Knapp, Lois Smith, Kim Basinger Writers: Shane Black & Anthony Bagarozzi Director: Shane Black Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: May 20, 2016 At first, a comparison between the new release THE NICE GUYS and the 1974 classic CHINATOWN may seem incongruous. The older film, after all, is an Oscar-winning drama, while THE NICE GUYS is solidly within the tradition of its director/co-writer Shane Black’s trademark action/buddy comedies. But hang on – both are period pieces (CHINATOWN is set in 1937, GUYS in […]Read On »
