CHARADE Blu-ray Review: Spies, Danger, Laughs and Fashion an Eclectic Criterion Mix

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 11:00:00 -0500

'Comedy' and 'thriller' are not genres that often go together; or if they do, the emphasis is generally on the comedy aspect and not the thrills. If there are thrills, they are usually brushed off as unserious enough to relax without concern for the well being of the characters that you might get to know over 90-100 minutes. But this is not the case with Charade. As one image in the (amazing) opening title sequence by Maurice Binder shows, this film is a definite mix of comedy, thriller, and romance. And all are equally on display and relevant to the story. It makes for something of an atypical film, looking through the lens of any one of these genre on the other two. But perhaps that's...

THE DEVIL QUEEN Review: Blood and Glitter in the Streets of Rio

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0500

The seedy underbelly of 1970s Rio de Janeiro: drugs and strippers, singers and drag queens, fast cars and fast sex, shaved legs and slit throats, crime and punishment. But most importantly: guns and glitter. Do some of these points feel a little out of place for a standard crime thriller? Maybe, but this is a thriller of a different colour, figuratively and literally. The Devil Queen has received a recent 4K Restoration courtesy of Kino Lorber, and is set for a limited release across the USA. This strange queer cult film, writer and directed by Antonio Carlos da Fontoura, shows a side of the Brazilian city in 1974 that defies easy definition. The story of a gay drug kingpin whose lust for violence and for attractive...

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Review: A Giddy Nostalgia Bomb For Fans Of Silly Men With Big Muscles

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 15:50:04 -0500

It’s kind of insane that in the year of our lord, two thousand and twenty-six, there is a $200 million-dollar tentpole adaptation of a forty-four-year-old children’s cartoon that is expressly aimed at those of us who grew up in the last wave of Gen X cynicism. And yet, what Travis Knight has created in the new Masters of the Universe somehow manages to be both reverent and irreverent at the same time in a way that manages to slyly awaken and sate the eternal child in all of us. Drafting off a couple of well-received modern incarnations for Netflix over the last decade, Knight’s vision for the world of He-Man eschews a lot of those versions’ earnestness in favor of the original’s focus on fantasy...

THE DEAD PLACE Review: Micro-Budget Horror With Big Ideas

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 17:45:11 -0500

As I type this review there are two horror films dominating the box office news, Curry Barker's Obsession - which just tipped over $100 million on a budget of around $750 thousand- and Kane Parson's Backrooms - a film that just hit $85 million a week behind the former film on a budget around $10 million. The media is salivating (and rightfully so) over these small budget wonders from young filmmakers who cut their teeth on YouTube and managed to get picked up by A24 and Focus Features for their debut theatrical features. But this is only a small part of the story of low budget filmmaking in 2026. For every Obsession, there are dozens of micro budget films being released directly to VOD with...

PROPELLER ONE-WAY NIGHT COACH Review: John Travolta's Charm Offensive Soars Against All Odds

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 12:02:12 -0500

Not many films have been saved at the last moment by a press tour. When the film is picture-locked, sound mixed and in the can, there's not a lot to be done for it, beyond putting it out there for people to assess. John Travolta clearly does not believe in that nonsense. Showing up at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of his directorial debut, Propeller One-Way Night Coach, the 72-year-old screen legend sported a new look. Chiselled Mr Worldwide facial hair, tented fingers and knockabout posture weren't the features to write home about, oh no: it was the beret that drew the spotlight. Days of the festival would pass, and Travolta would make a new appearance with a fresh beret at various intervals;...
