James Preston Poole Posted On May 18, 2022


It’s been a long time since the original Top Gun hit theaters. A little over 36 years, to be exact. Plans began to firm up around 2010 until the director of the original film and the proposed sequel, the great […]

‘Firestarter’ Review: “A Watered Down Rehash”
James Preston Poole Posted On May 14, 2022


Amongst the pantheon of Stephen King adaptations, 1984’s Firestarter doesn’t have much staying power. Save for the neat image of Drew Barrymore throwing fireballs, there’s just not a whole lot memorable about it. King himself notably expressed disappointment in the film; a […]

‘The Northman’ Review: “Marrying Brutality & Myth”
James Preston Poole Posted On April 13, 2022


Scant few things about the tale of The Northman are new. Drawn from the legend of Viking Prince Amleth, the revenge narrative at the core of writer-director Robert Eggers’ third feature inspired William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Hamlet, in turn, went on to inspire recent […]

‘Ambulance’ Review: “Bayhem Feels Fresh In 2022”
James Preston Poole Posted On April 9, 2022


It felt like only yesterday when Michael Bay was the laughing stock of film criticism. His hyper-edited, explosive (pun intended) films pervaded the cultural consciousness, frequently earning high box office receipts despite being slammed by the press as head-ache inducing, […]

‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ Review: “The First Perfect Video Game Adaptation”
James Preston Poole Posted On April 6, 2022


As far as game-to-movie adaptations go, the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog movie is the gold standard. Now, that’s not exactly saying much. The Blue Blur’s cinematic debut received faint praise for being passable family fun. In my spoiler review, I saw it […]

‘Morbius’ Review: “Underachieving Origin Still Has Bite”
James Preston Poole Posted On March 31, 2022


Since its announcement, Morbius has been the black sheep of movies based on Marvel Comics. Part of Sony’s burgeoning attempt to start its own “Spider-Man Cinematic Universe” – featuring a lower-tier Spider-Man villain – the odds were not in its favor. […]

SXSW 2022: ‘Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood’ Review
James Preston Poole Posted On March 24, 2022


The power of nostalgia can be irresistible. Not the simple jolt of seeing a favorite childhood character come back in another movie in your adulthood. No, it’s the real, potent nostalgia of reliving an authentic experience. Against my better judgment, […]

SXSW 2022: ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ Review
James Preston Poole Posted On March 18, 2022


Distributors are a dime and dozen, but ones like A24 are hard to come by. No matter what genre, that logo is a signal for audiences that they’re getting something a little different. Directed by Halina Reijin from a screenplay […]
