Directed by Meredith Alloway Written by Meredith Alloway and Lily Houghton Starring Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, and Alexandra Shipp With the commitment to its own candy coating and its camp, this becomes a fun time whose cast is all for the ride. I get why people have been comparing this to Mean Girls and The Craft, and I also saw a review draw … Continue reading Review of Forbidden Fruits
Directed by Steven Spielberg Written by David Koepp Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Eve Hewson, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, Elizabeth Marvel, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, and Courtney Grace As clunky and sluggishly paced as this can be, it’s got some real emotional heft that keeps me seated up till the deeply impactful ending. Oh dear, though, before that point, we’re having to tread through quite … Continue reading Review of Disclosure Day
Most people have been to some pretty dark places in their lives. Even for myself, there have been times when I didn’t think I had the willpower to carry on. There have been moments when the overwhelming void of emptiness threatened to swallow me whole and snuff out all the light that was left inside of me. I’ve also done things in my past I’m … Continue reading Thunderbolts*: A New Kind of Team
BubbaWheat joins The Order this episode to talk the 2024 remake of The Crow! How does it compare to the Brandon Lee classic? Continue reading Episode 181: The Crow 2024
As of this writing, it’s July 1st. Coming into today, I had seen 56 movies released in 2026. Not quite the pace I was on last year, but not a bad one by any stretch. With most of the days of the year in the backend, I’m likely easily going to crush 100 new releases in the calendar year. And that’s got me excited. So … Continue reading Little Brother Review
Up until today, the oldest movie I had watched in 2026 was 1957’s The Seventh Seal. Which is definitely old! But I thought I could do a little better. After having skipped over the choice on Tubi a couple of times, I finally sat myself down and decided to go a full eighteen years older and watch 1939’s Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. Despite his … Continue reading Mr. Smith Goes To Washington Review
Written and directed by Boots Riley Starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, Demi Moore, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle. This may not vibe with me as strongly as Sorry to Bother You had, but hot damn, this is so self-assured about presenting its anti-capitalist commentary in such a colorfully bonkers fashion that I simply must have a hoot … Continue reading Review of I Love Boosters
The Final Reckoning is (possibly) the final film in the Mission: Impossible franchise, closing out a series of installments that have been running since 1996. (following on from the ‘60s and ‘80s TV show). In doing so, it incorporates various plot points and characters from Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) past missions. By closing the narrative loop, it asks a few questions: Can we escape our mistakes? What defines us as individuals? And is there … Continue reading M:I The Final Reckoning Mostly Hits Where it Counts
I like to imagine I’m really confusing the hell out of the little gremlin personally in charge of my Tubi algorithm. In recent months, Tubi has become one of my favorite streaming services. Its movie selection is almost unparalleled, and it has a wide array of both big name flicks and independent outings exclusive to the streamer. While most other services are clogging up with … Continue reading Prank Night Review

This isn’t my first foray into the history of the Slasher film genre. I still do love me some Slashers, but something like 90% of my experience with them comes in the form of franchises. Your Halloweens or Fridays The 13th or A Nightmares On Elm Street or even a Maniac Cop or three. I dig them, but I tend to dig them in bunches, … Continue reading The Burning Review
Dance On Taking place between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Ballerina chronicles the story of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), a young woman thrust into the underground world of assassins. Filled with the intense, spectacularly choreographed action scenes we’ve come to expect from the John Wick franchise, Ballerina also probes at an overriding theme. Are the choices we make our own? Or does fate weave the threads of our lives, … Continue reading Ballerina: Ana de Armas Performs a Wicked Dance of Fate
Written and directed by Elliot Tuttle Starring Reed Birney and Kieron Moore This takes a bold path towards challenging us with its deeply uncomfortable material, and it achieves that with quite a nimble hand. What writer-director Elliot Tuttle does to keep things afloat with Reed Birney and Kieron Moore onboard as the starring duo deserves admiration, because this could have easily collapsed into a bucket … Continue reading Review of Blue Film
I’m having a very Sylvester Stallone-ified 2026 so far. First, there was my rush of Rocky movies that I watched earlier this year. Then there was my recent rewatch of Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2, which I will be covering on the 8/12/26 episode of the Stew World Order podcast. I actually always forget Stallone is in that, his role is so minor and … Continue reading First Blood Review
Directed by Valerie Weiss Written by Casey Schroen Starring Bailey Noble, Jeanine Mason, Michael Grant Terry, Bill Sage, Dendrie Taylor, Kyanna Simone Simpson, Alexis Rosinsky, and Timothy Granaderos Damn, a lesbian action thriller that shows off the badassery of archery? Now this is the suspenseful substance that we need more of. As someone who’s taken precisely one archery lesson, which occurred on my 18th birthday, … Continue reading Review of The Archer
