“Milo” follows the story of 10-year-old Will Kelly, a young boy on vacation with his family in Ireland who decides to run away with his new best friend - a 10 foot tall sea monster. Pursued by his family, the police and a mysterious stranger, these unlikely fugitives set off on an unforgettable road trip along Ireland’s wild west coast - embarking on a journey that will change Wills life forever and shake the very landscape to its core. A coming of age family adventure filled with emotional storytelling and side-cracking humour, “Milo” is a love letter to childhood summer and will shine a light on the most universal fear of all - the unknown. Hold on to your butt.
Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix. The mystery itself is pretty loose, but the film makes up for it with crackling sexual tension, weird side characters, and razor-sharp dialogue. It's messy and uneven, but in the best possible way.
This coming-of-age movie is about a group of girl trying to find their missing friend after a wild night none of them can remember.
Hustlers was meant to be a film about female empowerment. And it was, to a certain extent. I expected and wanted this to be a kickass and complex film of sexy women who use their confidence, skills, and wits towards a brilliant plan to get revenge on the Wall Street guys who wronged them.
The height of subversive horror cinema is Jennifer’s Body. No, I will never budge on that. Yes, Cabin in The Woods is funny, Scream is very well made, and the Scary Movie franchise is …. there. But nothing is quite as satisfying as watching the teenage succubus that is Jennifer Check rip apart boys. In the post #metoo era where the industry is far from changed, watching revenge flicks like these is probably one of the most cathartic experiences due to the slow-moving progress being made.
I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.
“Candyman ain't a 'he.’ Candyman is the whole damn hive." Candyman represents all Black victims of white supremacy, and this art form narratively conveys it in a succinct, adulatory way, the history of which is rare to find.
