Insert Coin

SXSW 2020 FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW! In the late 1980s and early ’90s, coin-operated arcade machines became a billion-dollar industry. You couldn’t go to a laundry mat or a pizza place without seeing an arcade cabinet, and there was a pretty good chance at least one of those cabinets was going to be a Midway game. Director Joshua Tsui’s Insert Coin is a love letter to one of the biggest and most successful arcade publishers and game developer companies of that period. The subject is interesting, and

The Invisible Man

Universal Studios has a dismal track record of trying to update its classic stable of iconic monsters. The Wolfman remake from 2010 was critically lauded, Dracula Untold attempted to kickstart a shared universe, and it fell flat on its fanged face. Most recently, 2018’s The Mummy reboot starring Tom Cruise was a boring action flick that had no scares, no heart, and failed so severely it killed the already planned spinoffs and sequels.

The Wrong Todd

When the lovingly schlubby Todd is attacked by an alternate reality doppelgänger and sent to a tragic alternate universe, Todd must find a way to return to his reality. The concept is a familiar one, we’ve got parallel universe doubles and desperate attempts at changing fate, but most of the films dealing with these ideas have millions of dollars behind them. Without the glitz, the glamor, and the high production value The Wrong Todd still manages to outshine most of its big-budget colleagues wi

Unseen

Teaching a very invaluable lesson about the pratfalls of social media, Unseen is an absolute must-see short film every parent should show their children. Written and directed by Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, the film tells the story of Carly (played by Rhyon Nicole Brown), a teenager living in a small mountain town yearning for fame and fortune. A shady modeling agency reaches out to Carly with an opportunity to make some fast cash. These sorts of scams are irritatingly common, and what happens next i

The Garden Left Behind

Directed and co-written by Flavio Alves, The Garden Left Behind is a poignant and topical story that expertly showcases its characters and makes you relate with them on very basic, yet imperative levels. The film tells a heartbreakingly authentic story about a trans woman living in New York as she navigates her way through love, family, activism, xenophobia, and transphobia. Carlie Guevara crushes it as the main character, Tina, playing her as a magnetically complex, warm, and realistically flaw

Jessie's Super Normal Regular Average Day

Telepathic snails, a non-sequitur rap music video, couch driving, magical food items, and a rockabilly evangelical reverend punch your face hard in Jessie’s Super Normal Regular Average Day. Written and directed by Brian K. Williams, this weird-a*s flick takes its place in the “What the hell did I just watch?” genre. If you want coherency and a strong story, you’ll probably want to skip on this one; it has a unique style but not a lot of nutritional substance. There’s a griminess to the characte

Doctor Sleep

The Shining is pretty high up on the list of iconic movies that don’t need a sequel, remake, or reboot. Doctor Sleep is a movie literally no one asked for, but I’m really surprised to say that I’m damned happy it exists. Part-sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s horror classic, part-sequel to Stephen King’s beloved tome, Doctor Sleep is a weird but satisfying mixture. There are musical cues and nods and references to the original film, but all of the few returning characters are played by different actor

Blinded by the Light

Director Gurinder Chadha’s latest film Blinded by the Light is a pleasing movie featuring some outstanding acting and plenty of cleverly executed humor, but it feels too familiar for its own good. Much like her other well-received film, Bend it Like Beckham, the story follows a teenager obsessed with something that seemingly flies in the face of his familial traditions. In Bend it Like Beckham, it was obviously soccer (or football outside of the US), and in this film, it just so happens to be th

The Souvenir

I’ve never had an experience quite like the one I had when I watched writer and director Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir. I watched the film with an audience who scoffed, checked their Apple Watches constantly during its sizeable runtime, whispered negative sentiments, and said phrases like “Out of all of the films that could have been made, why did it have to be this one?”

I thought we were all in agreement with this movie, and then I go online to find out that critics are heralding it as being a b

Koko-di Koko-da

Directed by Johannes Nyholm, Koko-di Koko-da is one of those movies with a ton of potential, but it’s ultimately mired down by repetition and a story that is less interested in being coherent and more concerned with being visually different for the sake of being different.

The film tells the story of a couple torn apart by a family tragedy. They decide to go on a camping trip in the rain-drenched woods when suddenly strange things begin to happen. Tormented by a group of oddballs led by a man w

Judy and Punch

Judy and Punch is an Australian film by writer and director Mirrah Foulkes that tells a story involving alcohol and puppets. If you’re not at least intrigued by that brief synopsis, I probably don’t want to be your friend. To dig deeper into the film without giving away any spoilers, it’s the tale of a wife and husband who perform puppet shows in the backwoods town of Seaside, which the film ironically points out, is nowhere near the sea. The town is full of bloodthirsty backwoods townies with u

Where's My Roy Cohn?

For me, there truly is no better sleeping aid than watching a documentary on politics. I’m just personally not into that stuff. Where’s My Roy Cohn? is a documentary about the ruthless lawyer, Roy Cohn, a man who struggled with his Jewish heritage and his closeted sexuality. The film is fascinating enough to hold my interest, despite my limited knowledge of Cohn and his malevolent workings.

The film is incredibly well made with talking heads that flawlessly flesh out who Roy Cohn was while also

Set in Brazil in the year 2027, Divine Love posits a world where Christianity is on the verge of forcefully bridging the gap between church and state. There are crazy drive-thru chapels, Christian love raves, and a strict social stigma towards the concept of divorce. Divine Love is a group of people who work together in weird ways to save failing relationships.
