The Sex Substitute 2 (2003)

Billy Eichner provides a hearty dose of good old fashioned romance with a lot of laughs

The Resort has an excellent climax surrounded by disappointments. Somehow, at a mere 75 minutes, this movie still manages to be 70 minutes too long.

The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism.

The Noel Diary is about a man who unlocks an old diary containing secrets of the past.

Knives Out doesn’t just defy the whodunit narrative, it uses the weaknesses to its advantage. It’s well aware of the genre’s faults and tropes

'Alice' is a genre trifecta: one part revenge drama, one part historical account, one part throwback to Blaxploitation—kinda 'Django' meets 'Roots' meets 'Foxy Brown.'
