Is This Thing On?
(2025)
|
Frank Wilkins
|
What makes Is This Thing On? resonate is its refusal to declare a winner or loser in divorce. It’s not about falling out of love so much as what love looks like when it changes shape.

Beneath the chaos, the head-shaving, and the alien accusations, the film finds something heartbreakingly human: a yearning for connection in a world that’s lost its hive mind.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
(2025)
|
Frank Wilkins

A hilarious encore that plays the hits, tries out a few new riffs, and never loses sight of the joke. It’s a reminder that Spinal Tap, much like rock itself, will never truly fade away—it’ll just keep turning things up to eleven.

We are asked to believe that there is a lucrative industry in the grief of those who would pay to watch the decomposition of their loved one’s bodies. That’s a stretch and I’m not buying it… especially two full hours of it.

The Luckiest Man in America is a mixed bag. The stellar supporting cast and the inherent absurdity of its source material keep the film from being a total misfire, but it fails to rise above being a surface-level recounting of an extraordinary tale.
