Evidence of the Boogeyman
(2025)
|
Bobby LePire
|
Evidence Of The Boogeyman is a typical found footage film in terms of its presentation and style. But the screenplay gives the characters room to breathe and only gives out backstory when 100% necessary.

Reflection in a Dead Diamond
(2025)
|
Michael Talbot-Haynes
|
It is not just an exercise in style over content, as Cattet and Forzani elevate the spy trappings into a surreal memory spiral that resembles Last Year At Marienbad through a five-foot Graffix bong.

The impeccable swallow dive Lenihan pulls off with Smile…The Worst is Yet to Come is magical. Few pictures these days have you walking away from the screen with a smile on your face, and indeed, hope in your heart.

Look, I’m a fan of laugh-out-loud comedies, but I’m an even bigger fan of movies that make you think and leave a long-lasting impression at the same time. Another Day in America does exactly that.

Subsequently, Super Happy Fun Clown is not a super happy fun time, but it does deliver a grungy killer clown story meant for fans of the genre who want to squirm at the grossness, cheer at the violence, and indulge in the nonsense.

Holy Ghetto is very straightforward, but it needs to be. It shines a light on forgotten people who need help and the few who are trying to do so. The anecdotes are heartbreaking, surprising, and intense, giving the story a lot of weight.

As feel-good as Moneyball. It’s a treat to see turns from the comically tragic Sorvino, who reminds us why she won an Oscar, plus an awesome little cameo from Brian Bosworth, bringing the sly charm and confident cool as he did in his heyday.
