When the Man Comes Around part 6 Armored boots raced through the underbrush. His heart pounded and he was beginning to feel the South American heat under all the layers. The tank rolled parallel through the jungle, pushing trees out of its way like nine pins, then flattening them. The Cavalier knew he hadn’t been seen yet and didn’t want to take any chances. He … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #52
Here’s something I really dig about Letterboxd, especially as someone who ponied up the money to subscribe as a patron this year for the first time: when you fall into little holes of movie review niches, it never lets you forget them. Earlier this year, I watched three Rocky movies, and ever since then, my Letterboxd statistics have not missed an opportunity to remind me … Continue reading The “Before Trilogy” Review
No More Running When I first saw the trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s newest film, Caught Stealing, I was a bit thrown off guard. See, Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors. I’ve seen every one of his films, minus the ending of The Whale. Each of his movies is exceedingly dark and depressing, albeit genius in their execution. But Caught Stealing seemed to differentiate itself from the pack. Was this a … Continue reading Caught Stealing Succeeds as Aronofsky’s First Dark Comedy
Created by Nicolas Winding Refn and Ed Brubaker Starring Miles Teller, Augusto Aguilera, Cristina Rodlo, Nell Tiger Free, Jena Malone, John Hawkes, Babs Olusanmokun, William Baldwin, and Callie Hernandez This mesmerizingly pessimistic expression of Nicolas Winding Refn’s avant-garde style gives me precisely what I desire when it comes to this sort of slow-burn and dreamlike storytelling. My god, I had this on my watchlist for … Continue reading Too Old to Die Young
Supernatural Folk Horror THE WHISTLER Starring Diane Guerrero & Juan Pablo Raba Haunts Theaters April 17 Diane Guerrero (Doom Patrol, Orange Is the New Black) and Juan Pablo Raba (Narcos, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) are haunted by an evil spirit in The Whistler. A character-driven blend of folk horror, supernatural suspense, and cultural resonance, the film opens in select theaters on April 17 via Vertical. I don’t watch as many … Continue reading The Whistler (2026) Review
When the Man Comes Around part 5 In a small, nondescript compound in the middle of the jungle, Agent Saffron stood in front of a suit of armor, sipping his coffee. Next to him was a wall of photos detailing what he knew of Nadie’s organization. Below that, was a desk containing a laptop and a thumb drive. Miles away, Ramona Sanchez heard a knock … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #51

Friends Make the Walk Worthwhile I’m a Stephen King Fan. Although I’m relatively new to his works, I’ve loved just about every one of his stories. And while, yes, they are known to be horrifying and dark, there is another aspect to his writing that encourages me to continually come back to his work: his humanity. Whether it be the innocence of children overcoming societal … Continue reading The Long Walk is Brutally Saddening, yet Humane
Directed by BenDavid Grabinski Written by BenDavid Grabinski Starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, Eiza González, Keith David, Jimmy Tatro, Stephen Root, Ben Schwartz, Arturo Castro, Emily Hampshire, and Lewis Tan With its dynamic action thrills, clever laughs, and likable stars, this lands as the sort of incredibly charming ride that I’d love to see more often. I remember hearing about this a few months ago … Continue reading My review of Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
First of all, my apologies go out to the Alien franchise. Back when I did a franchise ranking of that series, I lambasted the series as being a particularly bad one. I noted that it had two good movies and then a bunch of trash in their wake that I was reduced to trying to figure out an order for. Brother, I had no idea … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Scream
When the Man Comes Around part 4 Landmark 50th issue! Michael Hawkwood’s life had been very odd up until this moment. Coming from a long line of heroes calling themselves The Cavalier, he was the fourth. He didn’t initially want the title, however. Calling himself the Squire, he was once the teen sidekick to his father, the third Cavalier. When his mother was accidentally killed, … Continue reading AP Productions: The Cavalier #50
I love watching classic movies I’ve never seen before. I don’t always love the movies themselves–at least not as much as I’m “supposed” to–(though I often do), but I love taking the way back machine and checking out something I’d long-since missed. I get “You’ve never seen [beloved film]?!” somewhat often despite the fact that I’ve seen… just… so many movies. There are still so … Continue reading When Harry Met Sally Review
Performing to Reach Healing I’m a big softie at heart. Couple that with the fact that I love Romantic philosophy and magical realism, and the movie A Big Bold Beautiful Journey should be just the film for me. Its characters live in a world where the unexplainable happens, and they are barely phased. Their penchant for blocking themselves off from relationships is explored, and they learn to … Continue reading ‘A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’ is Too Sugary Sweet

Despite its good reviews and word of mouth, I had missed Bart Layton’s Crime 101 when it was in theaters earlier this year. It’s not alone; it was simultaneously at the cinema with Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die, and I never made it out those few weeks to see that, either. My loss, I suppose, but at least it did not take long for … Continue reading Crime 101 Review
