“This murder was dressed as a miracle.” I can only imagine that Rian Johnson is a fan of the BBC series Jonathan Creek. That idiosyncratic detective played by Alan Davies, who for a few seasons in the late 90s/early 00s was so adept at solving the most mindboggling of crimes, each one seeming more unsolvable […] The post WAKE UP DEAD MAN Sees Johnson & Craig Answer Our Whodunnit Prayers first appeared on Cinapse.

HIM throws Hail Mary’s left and right, which is both its strength and weakness. What would you do for greatness? Would you push yourself harder than you ever have before? Would you break through every obstacle in front of you? Would you sacrifice everything? Would you be willing to fight, even to the death? Would […] The post HIM: The Horror Of Becoming The GOAT [4k Review] first appeared on Cinapse.

“I’m who I am today because I knew you.” The release of Wicked: For Good, the eagerly-awaited conclusion of last year’s mega-spectacle Wicked, has got me waxing major nostalgia for the big movie event and the fact that it’s now back. For so long, there weren’t too many of those kinds of events that didn’t […] The post WICKED: FOR GOOD is Neither Bad Nor Great first appeared on Cinapse.

After making two neo-giallos (Amer and The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears) and sidestepping into acid westerns (Let the Corpses Tan), Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani are back with their latest cinematic love letter—this time tackling two incredibly unexpected genres: superheroes and secret agents. Reflection in a Dead Diamond gives us the old James Bond film we never […] The post INTERVIEW: Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani on  REFLECTION IN A DEAD DIAMOND – Dreams, Memories, Superheroes and Secret Agents first appeared on Cinapse.

“Do you know how hard it is to be yourself?” It’s been a good long while since both George Clooney and Adam Sandler have been given true characters to play. In between shepherding projects behind the scenes, neither star has been given the kind of role that showcases what we know them to be capable […] The post Clooney, Sandler Anchor Baumbach’s Admirable JAY KELLY first appeared on Cinapse.

Splitsville is the most I’ve laughed at a new release in a while. It’s compulsively funny, and often hits explosive heights during its numerous comedic set pieces. There’s a fight between the two of the leads within the first 30 minutes that is so funny that at some point I stopped laughing and just stared […] The post SPLITSVILLE: The Funniest Movie of the Year is Now on Blu-ray first appeared on Cinapse.

Once more unto the breach for Tom Cruise…or is it? Across nearly three decades, the Mission Impossible franchise has shapeshifted through tones, directors, and stylistic eras, eventually finding a signature rhythm with the Tom Cruise/Christopher McQuarrie partnership, starting with Rogue Nation (2015) and reaching what many consider the pinnacle with Fallout (2018). 2023’s Dead Reckoning, […] The post MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING [4K-Review] first appeared on Cinapse.

Halloween has passed, temperatures are dropping, and the kids are already putting together wish lists.

Based on the […] The post Home (Video) for the Holidays: THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER first appeared on Cinapse.
