Day Shift Review | Netflix’s New Bloody Franchise

Kolby Mac0 CommentsNetflix, Reviews, , , , , , , , , ,
We clock in to Day Shift as it seemingly looks to revitalize the vampire genre on the big screen or, in this instance, on the streaming screens. Not that the genre’s been dead, or undead for that matter, but… This surprisingly good horror comedy sets up another bloody franchise for Netflix to sink its teeth into.  DAY SHIFT. (L-R) Snoop Dogg as Big John and Jamie Foxx as Bud in Day Shift. Cr. Parrish Lewis/Netflix © 2022. The ironically named Bud Jablonski, portrayed by Jamie Foxx, is a vampire hunter disguised as a pool cleaner in the mean streets of…

The Northman Review | An Epic Shakespearean Tale

Brayan de Jesús Rivera0 CommentsReviews, , , , , , , , , ,
The Northman is an epic Shakespearean tale of revenge that amazes with its impressive photography and production value.  Watching The Northman is the closest thing to traveling through time. The film manages to capture the historical period and mythology of the Vikings with a breathtaking level of accuracy. In this Amleth, a Viking prince, seeks revenge after his father is murdered by his uncle. On a basic level, that synopsis may remind people of Shakespeare’s Hamlet or Disney’s The Lion King, but this film takes its own route. With every single frame the film reaffirms that you are about to…

Mohamed Shama0 CommentsTrailers, , , , , , , , , ,
Marvel Studios released a new trailer and poster “Thor: Love and Thunder” offering long-awaited clues to what’s in store for the God of Thunder. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tgB1wUcmbbw The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the…

Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood | SXSW2022

Kolby Mac0 CommentsSXSW2022, , , ,
Richard Linklater telegraphs an inspiring and heartfelt love letter to his family, state and country that’s pure nostalgia. Astro-naughting never looked cooler, and when you’re 10 1/2 in the most ideal time of America, it’s the coolest thing ever! A young boy takes us on the trip of his lifetime when we journey alongside his boyhood detailing what “our past” meant to him. A brilliantly animated documentary that delivers a gripping dramatic experience. Its presentation allows it the freedom to go anywhere it wants. It has penchants of the Oscar nominated Flee with the stylings of The Wonder Years. The…

I Love My Dad | SXSW2022

Kolby Mac0 CommentsSXSW2022, , , , , ,
A super cringe, super uncomfortable father/son love story that’s equal parts sick and amazingly tender. A beautiful trainwreck of emotions leading to a crash that will undo you. Patton Oswalt and James Morosini are unexpectedly the best Romance of 2022 and the biggest surprise… It’s a true story. Chuck represented an unreliable constant in his son Franklin’s life. Franklin recently attempted suicide and in the aftermath of that failed attempt, while building boundaries and healing, he cuts out his dad for good. Chuck is determined to right his wrongs and be the dad his son deserves at any cost. Even…

Bodies Bodies Bodies Review | SXSW2022

Kolby Mac0 CommentsSXSW2022, , , , , , , , , ,
Hurricane parties aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re also not for fake best friends sitting on lies & trust issues, dripping with toxicity. This is a dirty, sexy WHO-DUNNIT that feels like Euphoria mixed with the manic of Uncut Gems and the camp of Scream. Some of Gen-Z’s worst and richest throw a Hurricane party that tragically ends before it really begins. A group of longtime so-called friends try to reconcile the return of one of their own. Despite their not-so best efforts, a child’s game heightens the rising tension and spills blood between them. The night becomes a…

Sissy Review | SXSW2022

Hector Gonzalez0 CommentsSXSW2022, , , ,
Acquired recently by Shudder, even before the festival started, Sissy is following the lengthy and rocky trend of social media horror films, which I haven’t been the biggest fan of. Having said that, I was still excited to see how it was going to tackle the themes of trauma, pressure, and loneliness (which seem to be the main topics in these types of horror pictures). It begins with bright colors and a score that feels like it came out from a Disney Channel film. The sing-songy music cue makes you think that this was a farce on social media, which…

Anonymous Club Review | SXSW2022

Hector Gonzalez0 CommentsSXSW2022, , , ,
A few indie artists can express themselves freely in their music like Courtney Barnett. Of course, many artists put their soul into the music they make, but there’s something unique about how Barnett conveys her touching yet arcane lyrics. You may have heard of the Australian singer-songwriter thanks to her hit song “Avant Gardener” from her debut, The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas. The track has a slick indie vibe, which may feel uplifting in the instrumental, but hard-hitting in the lyrics as it explores the difficulty of escaping her discomfort. There are many other examples of this…

The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future | Review

Raul Navedo0 Comments2022, English Reviews, Film Festivals, Reviews, Sundance 2022, , , , ,
Do you remember the last film you saw where, from the first frame, you thought “I don’t know where this is going but I am here for it”. Well, allow me to introduce you to the next one to hit on that level. The Cow Who Sang a Song Into the Future is a fascinating portrait of second chances that keeps you thoroughly engaged from start to finish. A beautiful mystery that reveals itself slowly: small doses cleverly designed to keep you hooked, rewarding you for your patience all along the way. This is one that could go a million…

What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? Review | NYFF 2021

Hector Gonzalez0 CommentsNYFF 2021, Reviews, ,
What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? is an ode to love at first sight; the moment you close your eyes and open them back again, the film takes over you. It’s a sensory experience with magical realism that’s both, in a sense, familiar and unique.  This is a story about two strangers: footballer Giorgi and pharmacist Lisa. They had three random encounters within minutes of each other because they forgot their paths. Viewing it as a lucky concurrence, they decide to meet the next day at the local cafe. However, their meeting might not occur as…
