Now, as a non-believer, I unabashedly love the genre of religious horror. Show me someone possessed by a demon, or an evil flying angel, or an unfortunate victim getting thrown down the stairs by an angry spirit, and there is just enough doubt in my heathen soul that I’m...
In space stories, 65 million years is a long, long time ago. But 65 million years ago, there was apparently another universe where civilized humans existed with poor health care systems, where they took jobs that they didn’t want because they needed the money. An astronaut (Adam Driver) takes...
Let me start by saying that this is a straight-up monster-in-the-closet movie. I’m not sure what “the mind of Stephen King” was conjuring in his short story The Boogeyman, but my childhood fear of the boogeyman was more in line with a Michael Myers/Babadook sort of creeper lurking in...
“Can you find the wolves in this picture?” asks Leonardo DiCaprio in a halting, drawling voiceover in the chilling first teaser for Martin Scorsese’s long-awaited adaptation of the David Grann’s acclaimed book Killers of the Flower Moon. DiCaprio stars alongside Lily Gladstone (who was so marvelous in Certain Women),...
He keeps running… and running… and running. Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, as we all know, is unstoppable. After all, no mission is truly impossible, otherwise this series would have died a long time ago. This final trailer for the two-parter (Tom’s last as Ethan?), teases at more mind-boggling stunts...

To be fair, it does take place in (unnamed) Portland at the (unnamed) Oregon College of Art and Craft (a real institution that has sadly since closed). An early scene has frustrated sculptor Lizzy (Michelle Williams) confronting her landlord/neighbor/artistic rival/frenemy Jo (Hong...
A few years ago, I went to see Judy Blume on her book tour for her latest (and she says last) novel for adults, In the Unlikely Event. Town Hall was packed with “women of a certain age” and the room buzzed with the excitement of a long-awaited reunion…...
For a movie that is about Michael Jordan, the first thing you notice is that you don’t see Michael Jordan. Sure, there are a few moments of the real Jordan in quick news clips, but as a character he is deliberately just off camera, or you only see his...
What is more terrifying? The fact that technology traces almost every aspect of one’s daily life so that it is almost impossible to truly disappear? Or the fact that even with all of the shared technology around the world, that it is still possible to disappear without a trace...
Early in In Viaggio, a Coast Guard radar antenna spins in the night, a stark visual accompanied only by the harrowing audio of desperate migrants pleading for help as their boat sinks off the coast of Italy. This same moment was used in Italian director Gianfranco Rosi’s acclaimed (and...
Allison (Florence Pugh) is a young woman who has it all. We meet her at her own engagement party, full of adoring multi-cultural friends who cheer her as she sings a song at the piano for her adoring fiancé Nathan (Chinaza Uche). She and Nathan are sweet and cute...
