svegoolie is considered the best TV horror host mostly because he's the only one left on TV anymore. I like his trivia segments best and the british films the least. Its been expanded a half an hour so more commercials pop up in th worst places.…

Spooky, gripping and topical There are loads of movies with this theme, but this twist is pretty unique, and is pulled off well. It is deeply disturbing, as well as spooky, and it strikes a chord with the obsession with appearance that grips our culture. The casting is great, the effects are more than adequate and the direction spot-on. This is a spooky watch.…

Check out my full review @ https://www.manuelsbento.com/the-drama-2026-the-agonizing-fragility-of-modern-acceptance/ Rating: B+ THE DRAMA is a gripping, nerve-wracking look at relational trust and societal judgment. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson give spectacular, deeply vulnerable performances, perfectly matched by an uneasy score and brilliant sound design. While the triggering subject matter occasionally focuses too much on the groom's panic rather than allowing the bride to fully explain her story, its critique of performative virtue over genuine human redemption is incredibly powerful…

The movie series that would've had a perfect ending with Toy Story 3 manages to, once more, not screw up with another sequel. So, yeah, I think Pixar once again managed to make a good movie and a good Toy Story with this one. Not the best or a totally awesome one. A safe one. But I'm still quite happy with it. **Short summary (spoiler free):** A good movie that, to me, feels more like an "Inside Out", where it heavily relies on the toys trying to steer Bonny's life and also has a much bigger focus on the human characters. Jessie is a strong protagonist, but most of the other toys are a…

Spielberg still has it. Blunt delivers a career-best turn as a meteorologist whose encounters spiral into a paranoid conspiracy chase that splits the difference between Minority Report and Close Encounters. Williams' score soars, the blocking is gorgeous, and the back half genuinely got me. Loses half a star for a baggy script and a finale that pushes too hard for tears. Still one of his best in years.…

When one hears the French word “couture” (or, as it’s often more fully termed, “haute couture”), one generally thinks of the concept of “high fashion,” a symbol of sophistication and elegance expressed through clothing. In turn, the word also often connotes the industry that grew up around this sartorial artform, one that got its start through the craft of sewing and has since spawned the alternative meaning “stitches” or, when applied more metaphorically, “connections,” particularly where the women who have become the representatives of couture are concerned. And, over time, the women of cout…

A masterclass in queer horror! Adrian Chiarella brilliantly subverts the conversion therapy trope by turning the "cleansing" ritual into a living, shape-shifting nightmare. The entity taking the shape of what the boys desire most—each other—is a devastatingly poetic metaphor. Tyson Perkins’ gorgeous, bleak cinematography of rural Australia makes every frame feel loaded with dread. It’s atmospheric, deeply romantic, and utterly heartbreaking.…

Nature films generally do a great job of capturing the intrinsic beauty of our world and in explaining its function and attributes. They’re often gorgeous to look at and quite educational. However, these documentaries sometimes tend to be a little on the “clinical” side, keeping viewers at something of an emotionally arm’s-length distance. But, every so often, a release comes along that pleasantly surprises audiences, serving up nature’s bounty with an eloquent, poetic touch. Such is the case with the latest documentary from writer-director Sara Dosa, an offering that provides intriguing paral…

“Normal” feels like a self‑conscious ‘woke’ spin on the modern action thriller, and for me that’s where it completely loses the plot. It plays as a politically one‑sided, ideologically heavy‑handed shoot‑’em‑up that’s more interested in attitude and messaging than in building believable characters or a coherent story. Asian yakuza are mostly reduced to stereotyped cannon fodder, while other characters are framed as more complex and sympathetic, which gives the violence a racially tone‑deaf, hypocritical edge instead of anything resembling clever satire. Even the better‑staged action beats can’…
