I always find that the cult comic book movies take infinitely more creative liberties than Marvel and DC, which have created an ever-tiring subgenre of their own. The most entertaining comic book movies are the ones that are inherently subversive, unconventional, and even weird. Enter “2000 AD,” the British cult comic book that gave fans […]
As the festival buzz winds down and other major film festivals begin to take shape and galvanize public interest, the prestigious Venice Film Festival awards are slowly taking form as the jury decides who the winners will be. This year’s jury, led by Maggie Gyllenhaal, includes filmmakers and writers from around the world. Understanding their […]
'Black Zombie' director Maya Annik Bedward spoke with The Rolling Tape about zombies, Haiti, and the history behind the living dead.
Premature might look like a typical rom-com, but it becomes surprisingly personal, reflecting a Glasgow charm.
Zombies are an iconic feature of horror that have existed for almost a century, the earliest representation appearing in White Zombie (1932). However, how much do we really know about the roots of the zombie, where did they come from, and what does it tell us about our culture and our understanding of this trope? […]
Na Hong-jin's 'Hope' is pure gonzo action filmmaking that would leave Michael Bay in bewilderment.
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock stun in 'Practical Magic 2,' a spell-binding sequel packed to the brim with romance, midnight margaritas, and sisterly bickering.
Following its milestone 50th Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is back, kicking off September 10 and running until September 20, 2026. Coming just off the heels of the Venice Film Festival, TIFF marks an exciting time for the Fall Festival season, featuring North American and World Premieres. This year, Kasey Dunifer, Nadia Arain, […]
Timothy Hall's independent film is a melancholic queer southern romance that deserves to be seen.
There’s no doubt, Kahn ingratiates himself with the material, yet it never feels like he’s exploring more than what he’s comfortable with, or adding dimensions to characters beyond what their traumas would suggest. 15/18 (A Place to Heal) shows an unvarnished portrait of mental health afflicting young adults who are on the verge of being independent. But by the time the ending nears, it never feels like we learned anything more than at the beginning.
Thank God! Furious is renewed for Season 2, as per Deadline, and I cannot get enough of these damaged yet ferocious characters. I want to see what more they could bring to the table. Whether the story picks up directly from the devastating events of the finale or opens an entirely new chapter, it will be exciting to see how far Furious is willing to go.
Primetime is a searing and uncomfortable plunge into the nondescript area of exploitation, consumption, and justice. Pattinson’s uncanny immersion in a man determined to be right about an America plagued with a sickness that must be revealed is as fascinating as it is horrifying to watch a piece of vintage Americana have more prescience now than it did 20 years ago.
In moonlight, black boys look blue. When Moonlight beat La La Land for Best Picture in 2017, it became not only a moment of virality and shock, but also solidified the film’s iconicity for years to come. The talk of the town that night was, of course, the egregious Oscar misfire. The photo of La […]
Wild Horse Nine may feel like a lesser narrative in McDonagh's canon of twisted stories, yet it retains the brilliant chemistry of actors and dialogue that make it just as fitting of an entry. Compared to the morbid stage tales and bloody tragic films, Wild Horse Nine feels more stripped of that inclination toward violence, emphasizing characters living and breathing their environment and reflecting on their emotional purgatory. Never would one think John Malkovich interacting with a horse would prove to be the film’s most emotional focal point, yet only a madman like McDonagh could concoct a scenario as bizarre and earnest as the one in this film.
Written by Samy Burch, based on the 1990 New Yorker article of the same name by Ian Frazier, Coyote vs. Acme is a miracle.
