Movie Review: 'Tankhouse' is a Loving Send Up of Theater Performers
Tankhouse is a comic romp within the weird world of grown up theater kids. The film stars Stephen Friedrich as Tucker and Tara Holt as his lover and muse, Sandrene. Together the couple hopes to change theater presentation forever with their immersive style of drama. Things get off to a good start but go bad very quickly. During their very first immersive theater presentation, a member of the very small audience dies. The woman was very old and seemed to happily participate in the immersive experience but regardless, her death gets Tucker and Sandrene blackballed from New York Theater by Tucker’s beloved mentor, Buford (Christopher Lloyd).

10 Things I Hate About Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness
Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness arrived in theaters following a delay due to COVID-19 and somehow, even with extra time to tweak it and fix mistakes, the movie arrived in theaters and is absolutely awful. I despised Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. I hate the CGI, I hate what they do to one particular beloved character, and I hate that the overall theme of Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness could be boiled down to a motivational meme on a random Instagram account.

Movie Review: 'Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness' is an Awful Movie
Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness is by far the worst movie in the modern Marvel Cinematic Universe. Multiverse of Madness gets off on the wrong foot from the opening scene and gets worse and worse with every turn of the plot and obvious failure of logic. Haphazardly assembled by director Sam Raimi, Multiverse of Madness piles bad special effects on top of bad storytelling while good performances suffocate under the weight of those failures.

Documentary Review: 'Box of Rain' is a Love Letter to Fans of The Grateful Dead
Box of Rain is an emotional journey through the connection of The Grateful Dead and their incredibly unique and dedicated fandom. Shot through the prism of director Lonnie Frazier’s own emotional connection to the band, forged in the wake of a devastating sexual assault, Box of Rain reflects on a loving and supportive fandom that is like few others in modern popular culture, music or otherwise.

Movie Review: Memory is Deeply Forgettable
Memory is yet another brain-free bullet fest from Liam Neeson. This time it’s even more potentially offensive as Neeson uses dementia and alzheimers as the tragic backstory for his violent character. In Memory, Neeson is a killer for hire who is slowly slipping into permanent memory loss and it’s as dubious a plot device as you imagine. Why anyone thought that using alzheimers and dementia would be a great backdrop for a generic action movie is beyond me but here we are.

Movie Review: 'Hatching' is One of the Best of the Year
Hatching takes the story of a girl ‘coming out of her shell’ to a frightening and enlightening place. This stylish film from Finland may have a rather blunt metaphor regarding a young woman transitioning into becoming a teenager but that bluntness is part of the disorienting and exciting horror/thriller vibe that director Hanna Bergholm is going for in Hatching. The bluntness is completely intentional and it works like a magic trick to keep you looking one way while you are upended by the style of the storytelling, the frightening metaphoric imagery, and the exceptional use of color.

Classic Documentary Review: 'The Wobblies' Reflects on the History of American Labor
On April 28th, 2022, the AFL-CIO will celebrate Workers Memorial Day, a day dedicated to those who lost their lives in the battle for better working conditions, better pay, and generally better treatment of the American working class. International Workers Day follows soon after on May 1st and again, labor unions will be heralded for the remarkable strides made from the early days of the labor movement, days remembered for remarkably brave men and women who defied the ruling class and fought on behalf of the working class.

Documentary Review: 'Stu's Show' is a Documentary about Showbiz, Love and Healthcare
Stu’s Show begins as one kind of documentary and ends as something completely different, richer, and more thoughtful. What looks like the story of a Hollywood outsider who became an unlikely ally and friend to the stars of the Golden Age of Television, slowly morphs into a harrowing story about our modern Healthcare system and the people on the fringes of society who are forced to struggle and risk death to get the care they need from an often uncaring and indifferent healthcare system.

Movie Review: 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent' is the Funniest Movie of 2022 So Far
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent stars Nicolas Cage in arguably his greatest role, playing himself. Rather, I should say, Nicolas Cage is not playing himself but the pop cultural conception of who we think Nicolas Cage is. Nick Cage, if you will. This conception of Cage as a bizarre egomaniac obsessed with his own fame, struggling with money, and deeply weird is built on some foundations of truth, gossip, and the perceptions created by Cage’s many iconic film performances. It’s an utterly brilliant meta-creation that gives audiences the Nicolas Cage we want while distancing the actor from our perceptions with a layer of creative irony and detached humor.
