Film Reviews
Panic Fest 2026 Film Review: “Buffet Infinity”
“Buffet Infinity” is an indie, anti-consumerist comedy that feels as old as Reaganomics but as current as Silicon Valley branding
Panic Fest 2026 Film Review: “Grind”
What makes “Grind” work is that it targets a labor system becoming deeply embedded in modern life. Instead of forcing horror onto these jobs, it uncovers the horror already inside them.
Film Review: “Michael” 2026 REVIEW #2 (Dan)
In the end, no matter how valiantly Jaafar Jackson performs, the film that surrounds him feels more like a tomb than a tribute to his late uncle. There is little to justify leaving home for replicas of videos that will look better on your TV.
Film Review: “Michael” (2026)
Several major parts of his life are recreated, including the shooting of the “Beat It” and “Thriller” videos as well as the 25th Anniversary Motown Special. And here is where the movie excels. If you’re a fan of the music, you will not be disappointed here.
Panic Fest 2026 Film Review: “Break a Leg”
“Break a Leg” could have used a bit of trimming, but it makes strong use of its simple setting and premise, crafting a bloody, eerie, and imaginative bottle thriller.
Panic Fest 2026 Film Review: “Obsession”
“Obsession” is wild, vicious, and gripping. It puts you in the front row for the yin and yang of abuse and power.
Panic Fest 2026 Film Review: “Saccharine”
In the age of GLP-1s, and with my own struggles with weight over the years, “Saccharine” feels timely even when it’s a bit of a mess.
Film Review: “Project Hail Mary” Review #2 (Michael A.)
Leave it to the team behind the amazing “The Lego Movie” to create a film as exciting as “Star Wars” and as beautiful as “2001.”
Film Review: “Project Hail Mary”
In the end, “Project Hail Mary” offers more than visual wonder. It delivers a surprisingly personal science-fiction story about cooperation, empathy and resilience
Film Review: “Crime 101”
Lots of practical effects here and they are greatly appreciated when achieved. Action fans will not be disappointed.
Film Review: “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die”
“Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” is unique, funny, and uncomfortably close to the world we’re already building, if not already living in.
Film Review: “Arco”
The artistry reinforces the film’s core belief that love, family, compassion, and simply talking to one another could fix more than we assume.
