A Soft Cry and a Hard Case: Reminders of Him Lands on Physical

May 18, 2026

I’ll admit it. Weeks ago, I heard a half-joking theory that Him, that Marlon Wayans horror flick, and Reminders of Him exist in the same universe. They don’t. Obviously. But the idea stuck in my brain just enough to nudge me toward a movie I probably would have skipped.

Alley Cats: Ricky Gervais Turns a Pack of Strays Into an Existential Sitcom

Review

Ricky Gervais has spent decades building comedy out of uncomfortable truths, awkward conversations, and characters who say exactly the wrong thing at exactly the right time. Alley Cats takes that formula and filters it through a gang of feral cats roaming the streets, resulting in a strange, frequently hilarious adult animated sitcom that feels like stand-up comedy disguised as a cartoon. At first glance, the premise almost seems too gimmicky.

Terrifier Junior: Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man Is a Sugar-Fueled Bloodbath

Review

For over twenty years, Eli Roth has apparently been trying to get Ice Cream Man made. After watching it, that's easy to believe. This is the kind of movie that sounds too insane for a studio to greenlight: an idyllic small town, a mysterious ice cream vendor, and an army of children driven into a homicidal frenzy after enjoying a frozen treat.

Cookie Queens Finds the Humanity Behind America’s Most Famous Cookie Sale

Review

Cookie Queens opens with "Cookie Road" by The Julie Ruin blasting over the introduction, immediately establishing the film's playful punk-rock energy. From there, director Alysa Nahmias takes audiences behind one of America's most beloved traditions: Girl Scout Cookie season. What begins as a charming look at four ambitious young girls competing to become top sellers gradually reveals itself as something more thoughtful, a coming-of-age documentary about ambition, family expectations, and the complicated realities of growing up.

Late Fame: Kent Jones Finds Beauty in New York's Lost Dreamers

Review

What begins as something resembling Dead Poets Society quickly reveals itself to be something altogether more contemporary: a sharply observed examination of rich kid faux intellectualism, artistic posturing, and the people who confuse proximity to art with the act of creating it. Kent Jones' Late Fame is sweet, smart, funny, and occasionally scathing. Adapted by Samy Burch from Arthur Schnitzler's novella, the film follows Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet whose long-neglected work is suddenly rediscovered by a collective of young creatives calling themselves The Enthusiasm Society.

The Last Picture Shows Captures the Beauty and Fragility of the American Cinema

Review

For some people, going to the movies is entertainment. For others, it is something closer to a ritual. No matter what is playing, stepping into a theater offers a temporary escape from the chaos of everyday life.

Big Baby: Spider One and Krsy Fox Continue Their Horror Evolution

There are interviews you look forward to, and then there are interviews that feel surreal. Sitting down with Spider One and Krsy Fox to discuss Big Baby was firmly in the latter category for me. Long before Spider One was building horror films through OneFox Productions, he was fronting Powerman 5000.

Malcolm Kelner Is the Face of Obsession, Whether the Rest of the Cast Likes It or Not

Every great film has that one performance audiences can't stop talking about. For Obsession, the viral thriller from director Curry Barker, that performance belongs, unquestionably, to Malcolm Kelner's bartender. What began as a brief appearance in the film's opening moments has somehow evolved into one of the internet's favorite running jokes, spawning memes, fan theories, social media discourse, and a level of celebrity that Kelner has embraced with remarkable confidence.

Chasing More Than Storms: Ken Cole and Reed Timmer Find the Heart Behind Never Stop Chasing

There are few people more synonymous with storm chasing than Reed Timmer. For decades, audiences have watched him barrel toward some of nature's most violent phenomena in pursuit of science, understanding, and, admittedly, a little adrenaline. But Never Stop Chasing isn't simply another film about tornadoes.

Nat Boltt Brings Heart, Humor, and Humanity to Holy Days

There are filmmakers who make movies because they love storytelling, and then there are filmmakers who seem genuinely in love with the medium itself. After speaking with Nat Boltt about her feature directorial debut, Holy Days, it quickly became clear that she falls into the latter category. Known to many audiences as the unforgettable Penelope Blossom from Riverdale and for her work in films like District 9, Boltt has spent decades in front of the camera.

Aging Legend, Wild Stories: James Faulkner Looks Back on Zulu Dawn

Sometimes you go into an interview with a plan. You’ve got your notes, your bullet points, your angles about the new 4K restoration of Zulu Dawn. And then sometimes you get James Faulkner on the line and you just… let him go. That’s exactly what happened here.

Soulbound: A 53-Minute Animated Odyssey Through the Afterlife That’s Already Winning Awards

Independent animation is often defined by passion, perseverance, and the willingness to tell stories that larger studios might never attempt.

With the completion of its first story arc, Soulbound now stands as a roughly 53-minute animated feature experience released across four episodes, blending fantasy, comedy, psychological drama, and existential mystery into a uniquely memorable journey.
