Movie Review: 'Bloody Oranges' is Shocking, Vulgar, and Surprising
Bloody Oranges promises a subversive good time and mostly delivers. This French black comedy is at times bleak, other times surreal, and always strangely intriguing. Directed by Jean Christophe Meurisse, Bloody Oranges has shock value that is matched by an oddball group of characters whose stories you can't help but get caught up in. Some of these people are despicable villains and some are naïve innocents caught up in a system that doesn’t care about basic human decency.

Movie Review: Alex Garland's 'Men'
Alex Garland is a remarkable director. From the flawlessly composed shots to the immaculate production design, to the unsettling storytelling, Garland has a most unique sensibility. For his latest effort, Men, starring Jessie Buckley, Garland’s craftsmanship is as exceptional as his story is layered and disturbing. Examining misogyny, both external and internalized, as only he sees it, Garland has delivered a film that is more than the equal of his first two extraordinary films.

10 More Weird Products on Amazon.com
More than a year ago I compiled a list of the weirdest products I could find on the world’s largest online marketplace, Amazon.com. Now, it’s time for the sequel. Whereas last time we found human finger bones, a cat shaped tissue dispenser, and other such nonsense, this time around, we are looking for kooky, weird, odd, strange and why does this exist products that you can now purchase on Amazon.

Movie Review: 'Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers' is Deeply Misguided
The underlying story of Disney’s Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers reboot is human trafficking. Before you freak out and tell me I’m overreacting, hear me out. The plot of the new Chip N’ Dale Rescue Rangers has the newly reunited chipmunk friends searching for their missing friend, Monterey Jack. Jack has been kidnapped by a nefarious gang, his face has been altered, and he’s been sold to an overseas animation company to star in knockoff cartoons against his will.

Movie Review: 'Firestarter' Remake Flames Out
The remake of Firestarter is the result of what I call, I.P mining. The idea is to take a relatively memorable property from the past, attach a young movie star, and rake in the profits. That’s the goal anyway. Whether the re-makers of Firestarter will profit from their I.P mining is something only time and box office will tell. What I can tell you about the makers of Firestarter 2022 is that their movie recycling is more akin to composting. It stinks.

Movie Review: 'On the Count of Three' is a Terrific Directorial Debut for Jerrod Carmichael
Mental health experts will tell you that suicidal people will seem happier right before they take their life. It doesn’t always happen that way, but in most cases euphoria sets in once death is certain. The dark dramatic comedy, On the Count of Three, from star and director Jerrod Carmichael, pictures suicide from a different perspective. On the Count of Three is a suicide comedy, a dark comedy, of course, and it captures the kind of feelings mental health experts see in suicidal patients.

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.
