‘Bardo’ Review: “Mosaic of an Artist’s Heart”
James Preston Poole Posted On November 22, 2022


I remember seeing Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s The Revenant opening night. I had liked, not loved, Best Picture winner Birdman, but I loathed every minute of his follow-up. Basking in the glow of its own technical achievement, it offered nothing other than Leonardo DiCaprio […]

‘Black Adam’ Review: “DC’s Comeback Attempt Yields Mixed Results”
James Preston Poole Posted On October 20, 2022


The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change. At least, that’s what Dwayne Johnson wants to believe. Dating back to nearly 2007, Johnson has been hungry to bring Shazam’s nemesis and anti-hero in his own right, […]

‘Halloween Ends’ Review: “A Slasher Magnum Opus”
James Preston Poole Posted On October 13, 2022


And so comes to a close the David Gordon Green sequel trilogy experiment. The back-to-basics approach of the inaugural feature, 2018’s Halloween, had a positive reception at the time. Over time, it’s begun to face criticism for essentially repeating the […]

Full Circle Flashback: ‘Terrifier’ Review
James Preston Poole Posted On October 12, 2022


Freddy. Jason. Michael Myers. Leatherface. Pinhead. Ghostface. The pantheon of legendary slasher villains is far from empty. Nevertheless, going into the 2020s, audiences were ready for new blood. Ask and ye shall receive: Pearl from X and her own spin-off/prequel […]

Full Circle Flashback: ‘Constantine’ (2005) Review
James Preston Poole Posted On October 11, 2022


DC Comics adaptations are in crisis. With the recent cancellation of Batgirl, even movies that are fully filmed are getting canned. There are no sacred cows here to WB Discovery. When was the last time we heard news on a […]

‘Amsterdam’ Review: “Featherweight Romp Remains Watchable”
James Preston Poole Posted On October 9, 2022

‘The Munsters’ (2022) Review: “Geeky, Gleeful, Ghoulish”
James Preston Poole Posted On September 29, 2022


In August, I fulfilled a long-time dream of mine: seeing Rob Zombie perform live. Zombie’s concerts are known for the macabre, energetic rock ‘n’ roll emitting from his band. His films, likewise, exude similar showmanship, bathing in perverse grit. Rob […]
