Rating: R Stars: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland Writer: Celine Song Director: Celine Song Distributor: A24 Release Date: June 13, 2025 A lot of romantic comedies give the whole genre a bad name (at least in the opinion of some people) by throwing together two people who are so awful to each other at the start that we wouldn’t want to get into an elevator, much less a relationship, with either one. Not so MATERIALISTS, which presents us with three delightful leads, who treat one another in ways that make us root for something to […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Olivia Holt, Mason Gooding, Gigi Zumbado, Michaela Watkins, Jordana Brewster, Devon Sawa Writers: Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy Director: Josh Ruben Distributor: Sony/Screen Gems Release Date: February 7, 2025 As masked slasher horror/Hallmark-type romantic comedies go, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect example than HEART EYES. Writers Phillip Murphy and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy and director Josh Ruben demonstrate keen knowledge of both genres, plus the ability to affectionately and cleverly poke fun at both. Simultaneously and miraculously, HEART EYES manages to faithfully replicate the look and feel of more sober offerings, […]Read On »
