Faces of Death (2026) Movie Review
Have you watched Faces of Death, the cult VHS tape from the late-1970s that purported to show real-life deaths? This is what I want to ask all of gen Z. I imagine my follow-up question would inevitably be: Have you heard of Faces of Death? We surveyed 100 people, and the top answer on the board is:”Huh?” Survey says, at number two, “I guess, kinda.” The notion of invoking the IP of Faces of…
Mercy (2026) Movie Review
If Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie was an early contender for funniest comedy of the year, Mercy presents a curious bit of counter-programming: an early contender for the unintentionally funniest comedy of the year. Leaning on the utterly toothless performance of Chris Pratt, who spends the majority of the movie strapped to a chair, Mercy serves the terrible reputation of January new…
Project Hail Mary (2026) Movie Review
We’ve heard it all before. The isolated, industrious, possibly roguish single man left to his own devices in the depths of space. It’s a familiar tale. Author Andy Weir himself has already strung a similar yarn before this one, with the potato farming celestial castaway of The Martian (who would later be portrayed by Matt Damon in Ridley Scott’s 2015 adaptation). Project Hail Mary has a premise…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Original Song, Original Score, Sound (Part 7)
We have reached the conclusion. I couldn’t do it in one, but we got there in seven. Good enough. And we conclude with everyone’s favorite Oscar category…Best Sound. Nothing like them talkies. Alright, enough of this small talk. Come on in and take a seat, it’ll be brief. Here’s Part 1. Don’t forget Part 2. Part 3 is magical. I’ve never seen anything quite like Part 4. Part 5 will open your third…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Live Action, Documentary, and Animated Short (Part 6)
Part 6. I’m almost out of this numeric hellscape. So many numbers…all I see is numbers…I can’t even remember how I started down this path. Let us count the ways, but how? All I can think is “six.” Has it always just been 6? Here’s Part 1. Don’t forget Part 2. Part 3 is magical. I’ve never seen anything quite like Part 4. Part 5 will open your third eye and show you a wondrous universe of the…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Documentary, Animated Feature, International Film (Part 5)
What can one say about Part 5? I’m being non-rhetorical…I’m running out of numerical-based banter. We’re still doing Oscars predictions. Here’s Part 1. Don’t forget Part 2. Part 3 is magical. I’ve never seen anything quite like Part 4. Best Documentary Feature I honestly don’t get the The Perfect Neighbor buzz, but it has won all over the place in doc categories. It is far and away Continue…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Costume Design, Production Design, Makeup (Part 4)
Academy Awards predictions. Part 4. Trust me when I say that these are the most important predictions for your Oscar ballot. You will lose your office pool if you don’t pay careful attention to the next few paragraphs. They will seriously up your game. Nah, I’m just kidding. This is mostly just a prolonged conversation about Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. Enjoy. (Or don’t. It’s up to…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Casting, Cinematography, Editing, VFX (Part 3)
Ah yes, Part 3. It’s kind of like a trilogy…except we aren’t halfway through yet. So it’s like a trilogy, if…you don’t understand prefixes. Getting technical with this one, so bust out your kinetograph, your Rolodex, your splicing tape, and your 3D rendering software of choice. Here’s Part 1. Don’t forget Part 2. Best Casting The inaugural Best Casting field is a very good one. This race…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Supporting Acting and Screenplay (Part 2)
It’s Part 2 time. It’s like a Part 1, but a second one. We’re in the second half of the “above the line” categories. So keep your eye out for the line. It’s arbitrary and antiquated, so it’s easy to miss. But from what I understand, there is a line, and we’re about to pass it. Here’s Part 1. Best Supporting Actor I don’t fully understand the Sean Penn aspect of One Battle After Another. I…
2026 Academy Awards Predictions -- Best Picture and More (Part 1)
Having arrived very late to the Oscar prediction party this year, I am splitting up my ballot into 4-5 articles, just to get them out in the most timely possible fashion. Currently, you are in the sweet spot of the headliner categories (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress). The big categories are usually among the easier to predict, but not this year! Best Picture Sinners could very well walk…
Cloud (2025) Movie Review
The Internet is filled with scams. Scalpers have been around as long as there have been tickets to sell, presumably. Snake oil salesmen before that. So long as there is a way to make a quick buck on a rube, people have tried. The anonymity of these individuals is part of their strength. Shadowy individuals scoop up as many hot-item concert tickets as possible and mark them up by many multiples.…
The Best Movies of 2025
I usually start these year-end lists with some perfunctory and entirely unnecessary recap of my feelings of the previous year. Not this year. Let’s move on. Our tomorrow must be better than our yesterday. (The movies were OK). Honorable Mentions: Sorry, Baby; The Secret Agent; Black Bag; Souleymane’s Story; The Ugly Stepsister; Marty Supreme; On Becoming a Guinea Fowl; Wake Up Dead Man; Eephus;…
The Worst Movies of 2025
2025 certainly was not a bad year in cinema, but I also found many films did not move the needle. Some films were major disappointments. And then, as always, there were the dregs. These five films were, save for one exceptional case, the least enjoyment I got out of film-watching this year. The Electric State Many hands have already been wrung over the supposed price tag of this little ditty…
Review: Sugar Rot -- Fantasia Festival 2025
Sugar Rot had its Quebec premiere on Aug 1 as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival. Sugar Rot is billed as a feminist, punk rock, body horror film. It does involve the horrific transformation of a body, that of the protagonist fittingly named Candy (Chloe Macleod). One location in the film presents a few punk rock bands performing. And the John Waters-esque story world produced by…
Review: Lurker -- Fantasia Festival 2025
Lurker had its Canadian premiere on Aug 1 as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival. Alex Russell’s debut film Lurker is about obsession. It is in one sense about the parasocial relationships fostered by celebrity, but more accurately it is about the mind of a person who manipulates the world around him in order to embed himself within one celebrity’s orbit. It is a film about a…
Review: $POSITIONS -- Fantasia Festival 2025
$POSITIONS had its Quebec premiere on July 30 as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival. It is hard to shake the resemblance between Brandon Daley’s $POSITIONS and Benny and Josh Safdie’s Good Time. The two brothers at the center, the economically motivated premise, the ill-conceived choices, the propulsive synth score. The two films are so similar, in fact, that by the time this…
Review: OBEX -- Fantasia Festival 2025
OBEX had its Canadian premiere on July 29 as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival. It’s 1987. “Computer” Conor (Albert Birney, who also directs) spends his morning talking lovingly to his dog Sandy and watching the news on one of the three television sets stacked in a row in the middle of his living room. He works from home, rapidly typing out on his Macintosh computer digital…
