Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma: One of the smartest slasher comedies within the last few years
A year ago, I read the screenplay for this movie and really enjoyed it; now that it is released, I can see how it came out. Not only did the film come out great, but everything I read was brought to life on screen. Director Jane Schoenbrun follows up their previous film “I Saw the TV Glow” with a film that, judging by its title, sounds like a raunchy horror movie but instead is an excellent satire about how much pressure someone can have in finding love despite being more foc

The End of Oak Street:Hathaway and Ewan McGregor are excellent in David Robert Mitchell's love letter to Steven Spielberg
Twelve years ago, director David Robert Mitchell made the film “It Follows,” which critics called a masterpiece and a love letter to legendary filmmaker John Carpenter, and now he is back to direct an excellent movie that serves as a love letter to Steven Spielberg and “Jurassic Park”. Director David Robert Mitchell does a fantastic job of creating a world that makes you believe everything is nice and civil at first, then flips it right under your nose, transforming the film

One Night Only: Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner are great in the newest romantic comedy that is also a good date night movie
The latest romantic comedy from director Will Gluck is a fun movie featuring two likable characters trying to find the love of their life, unaware that they are about to fall in love with each other over the course of one night. The film takes inspiration from the horror film “The Purge,” but instead of crime being legal for twelve hours, premarital sex is legal for twelve hours. Throughout the film, there is a mandate that people are protesting to stop, which gets super conf

Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Tom Holland is fantastic in the fourth installment of the Spider-Man series within the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Serving as the fourth film in the Tom Holland Spider-Man series and the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man's latest adventure shows us what he has been up to since “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” and the result is an excellent film that is filled with a lot of emotion and heartbreak for the famed web-slinger. Taking over for Jon Watts, who directed the last three Spider-Man movies, Destin Daniel Cretton takes over the saga, and the story that he created is fant

Minions & Monsters: A fun animation that the whole family will enjoy
The seventh film in the “Despicable Me” franchise, as well as the third film in the “Minions” series, is also the best film since the first “Despicable Me” film. Despite sharing the same childlike slapstick humor we know from the Minions, “Minions & Monsters” sets the Minions in the Old Hollywood era and uses themes of creativity and friendship to tell a great story about never giving up on your dreams of making it big in Hollywood. Having played the Minions since 2010 and se

The Odyssey: The best film of the year from director Christopher Nolan and star Matt Damon
Based on the epic poem of the same name by Homer, “The Odyssey” is a phenomenal, beautiful masterpiece on its way to becoming an instant classic. After winning two Oscars as a producer and director for the best picture winner “Oppenheimer”, Christopher Nolan was given his choice to do whatever he wanted for his next film, and the decision to create an adaptation of the famous Greek literary poem was seen as a challenge. Still, if you know his track record as a filmmaker, it s

The Invite: An excellent A24 movie that comes off like Broadway play
Based on the Spanish comedy film “The People Upstairs”, “The Invite” is an excellent drama film that is a modern-day combination of classic Woody Allen films and the Broadway play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” After having success as a director with 2019's “Booksmart” but then following it up with the 2022 disaster “Don’t Worry Darling”, Olivia Wilde makes a career comeback by directing and starring in A24’s best film of the year in a story about love, lust, and drama.

Toy Story 5: The fifth installment of the Toy Story franchise is a masterpiece
The fifth installment in the popular Pixar franchise, “Toy Story 5,” once again delivers the heart and humor to a series that should’ve ended two movies ago. Still, the films manage to offer new insights into maturity and how the passage of time reveals how the toys must adapt to a new era of technology. What makes “Toy Story 5” great is that we live in a world where we’ve become so addicted to our electronic devices that playing with toys has become a thing of the past, and

Supergirl: Milly Alcock is a star in the newest film from DC Universe
Serving as the second film in the DC Universe from DC president James Gunn, the latest comic book movie adapted from “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” is not a perfect film but still manages to provide a ton of fun this summer. Known for directing films such as “Lars and the Real Girl”, “I, Tonya”, and “Cruella”, Craig Gillespie does a decent job with the next film in the DC Universe, though there were times when I felt the film played it a little too safe. Regardless, the film
