This show really struggles to tell its story against a myriad of issues. The dialogue is cringey, melodramatic and not a single thought or theme is left unspoken. Everything is told through the text, subtext or implication doesnt exist. If a character is feeling someway they'll smack you across the face with it. The main characters are all shallow tropes with zero depth beyond whatever role they've decided they need to fill. The voice acting is abrasive and similarly trite. The writing quality generally leaves a lot to be desired. The concept of the story is interesting and the animation is…

This was quite lovely. The tension builds because you get to know the characters and you can invest in their well-being. They aren't easily exchangeable teenagers being trapped in a cabin in the woods. These are two individuals with backstory and motivations that are trapped in a moving hell of their own making. The passenger is a fantastic monster and it doesn't get a reveal too early, which would have cheapened it. Instead, it gets built up in exposition and in tension until it becomes quite frightening. I had a good time watching this movie, and I recommend it to all those who are planning …

Homer's epic has endured for thousands of years, and Nolan's adaptation reminds you exactly why. The dialogue is lean and purposeful, he trusts the audience completely, and every setpiece — Cyclops, Sirens, Ithaca's reckoning — builds to a stunning finish. Superb acting, cinematography, and seeing it in IMAX just adds to everything that makes it epic. The year's best film, full stop.…

As one of the 2026 summer movie season’s most anticipated releases, writer-director Christopher Nolan’s screen adaptation of Homer’s literary epic, The Odyssey, has generated more than its share of reactions and for a variety of reasons. So I’ll come right to the point on my view of this release: I liked it, but I didn’t love it. This retelling of the diverse experiences of Greek warrior Odysseus (Matt Damon) on returning to his Grecian home of Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War explores the many adventures and profound soul-searching of his 10-year journey, the second half of a 20-year-l…

# **The East Palace (2026) – Spoiler-Free Review** **The East Palace (2026)** opens with a chilling mystery inside the royal palace, where an evil spirit is targeting the royal heir. To stop the supernatural threat, the king summons an exorcist to the palace. At the same time, a young woman is assigned to keep a close watch on him, ensuring that the secrets of the royal family never leave the palace. From there, the story unfolds into an engaging mix of horror, mystery, and unexpected twists that kept me invested throughout. The story is genuinely one of the drama's biggest strengths. It…

This has to be the best movie theater experience I’ve ever had. I unfortunately couldn’t see it in 70MM IMAX as Houston doesn’t have one and didn’t want to drive to San Antonio. I watched it in standard IMAX at Regal Lonestar 12 minutes from home. I’m a Nolan fan but not everything he’s done has been great. The passing in this movie is amazing. I was waiting for a slow part in the movie to go the bathroom but it just kept going and kept you hooked. I’ve seen all the negative reactions of this film from stupid people making stuff up without watching it. I’m in a smaller area north of Houston an…

As a massive horror fan, I give this latest installment a solid 7/10. While I still thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend catching it in theaters, it didn't quite reach the perfect 10/10 heights of the previous entries for a couple of specific reasons. **What Held It Back:** - **The Shift in Demon Behavior:** In the previous films, the Deadites felt like pure, primal, uncompromising evil. There was no negotiating or reasoning with them—their sole purpose was absolute destruction. In this movie, the demons feel a bit too humanlike. They talk and interact in a way that shift…

Whomever cast Common in this series needs to be fired. Alongside the rapper Common. He's just fuckin terrible. On the bright side, there's a lot of great cast members who keep this show worth watching.…

There are glimpses here of what could have been a good vigilante movie with some interesting social commentary about Europe’s inability to deal with crime linked to migration. Instead, the film spends too much time on other things. Uwe Boll doesn’t seem to have any clear message or ideology. He mostly just seems to want to tap into Europeans’ (not entirely unjustified) frustration and anger. The idea of a regular ”citizen vigilante” taking matters into his own hands to save his country (the film never even makes it clear which European country it’s supposed to be) also falls flat when the m…

Another attempt at re-writing history and inserting 'modern' sensibilities? No thanks. Yet another laughably bad, historically inaccurate production from Netflix.…
