The Photograph makes you want to stick around to see what happens next. This is the nature of romantic dramas - they're the fantasy versions of meat-life relationships.

Right up to the last 30 minutes this really is your run of the mill secrets-turned-killer-thriller, but when it switches gears to horror, it's a relentless slide to the finish.

We're not allowed to understand the depth of her pain because she's proving both how much she thinks she cares and how much she only cares for how broken she thinks she is.

There is never a breather to get your bearings as they don their pressurized suits to navigate the alien landscape that is the deep, dark ocean floor. The tension is relentless.

Up On The Glass is the kind of slow-burn thriller you forget is a thriller because the embers are cold and you got up to refresh your drink and never went back.

Here, I throw my hands up and cry pardon. I was wrong to doubt this movie, and it's rare for a sequel to make me want to see its predecessor

It pains me to admit, and I may be distinctly in the minority here, but I really liked this film.

Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway

What we're seeing isn't simply more domestic nostalgia trying to ironically justify itself - but in part a sincere view of The Global South processing the second-hand cultural flotsam exported to it by the rest of the world.

...on the other hand, every minute Woody Harrelson spent making this was a minute I was NOT closer to having to watch "Venom 2," so - thanks?

Credit where due to Fallen Kingdom - it at least finally feels like they've left the story in a place they can't take back.
