ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM: New Trailer and Poster

Thu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:12 -0500

Proudly touting its distinction as "the only film this year to screen at Sundance, Cannes, Telluride, TIFF, NYFF and London," Neon has unveiled a new trailer and poster for Once Upon a Time in Harlem. Conceived and filmed by William Greaves, a Black actor who became disgruntled with the roles that were available for him to portray in the film industry in the late 40s and early 50s, moved to Canada, received training at the National Film Board of Canada -- yay Canada! -- and became a documentary director, coming to wide notice with 1968's Symbiopsychotaxiplasm (see our own Jim Tudor's review), Once Upon a Time in Harlem is a truly unique film. The official verbiage explains why: "A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker...

FORTITUDE Trailer Premiere: The WWII Story That Was so Crazy, It's True

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:00:00 -0500

If you know your World War II history you will know about Operation Fortitude and the deception plan to convince Germany that the Allied invasion was going to happen in one place in France when it was really going to happen at Normandy. The Allies did this through the use of fake equipment, false radio traffic and false information fed through double agents. This new movie from director Simon West, is the dramatization of that remarkable story. The director is backed up by a heck of a cast as well. Fortitude stars Matthew Goode, Ed Skrein, Jordi Mollà, Alice Eve, Art Malik, Lukas Haas, Adrian Topol, Emilio Sakraya, Maeve Courtier-Lilley, Paul Anderson, with Ben Kingsley, with Michael Sheen and Nicolas Cage.

FILIPIÑANA Review: Rafael Manuel's Feature Redefines Must-See Filmmaking

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:02:09 -0500

There’s a moment in writer-director Rafael Manuel’s often brilliant, always enthralling feature debut, Filipiñana, an expansion of his award-winning 2021 short, where Clara (Carmen Castellanos), the American-born-and-raised niece of a wealthy Filipino businessman, Renato (Carlitos Siguion-Reyna), refuses to bend — or rather, break — the rules and accept a penalty in an otherwise meaningless game of golf. Her personal, pink-clad caddie, Ina (Isabel Sicat), chides Clara for the latter's intransigence. Ina reminds Clara that her uncle regularly “bends” the rules (cheats), as do the other elites at the golf resort where the game unfolds. For Clara, it’s a momentary, perhaps all-too-brief, moment of moral and ethical clarity: She recognizes the social, political, and cultural stratification of the golf club and resort as a...

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:03:38 -0500

In Mark Heyman's feature film directorial debut, Pendulum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Phoebe Dynevor go one a new-age retreat to recover from a traumatic event. The official teaser was released today, and at the very end, when Abigail submerges her head under water in a tub, we hear a baby crying. We're going to take a stab at it and say the trauma is the loss of a child. Married couple Patrick and Abigail journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event. Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife, but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader even as Abigail falls under her spell. As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if...

ERASER 4K UHD Review: High-Octane Action Has More Depth with Details in Special Features

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:02:11 -0500

Director Chuck Russell directed thrillers and enjoyed a steady following. The focus of his directing is often on a strong main character protecting someone or having a sense of humor from transformation. One example of a main character trying to keep someone safe is the setup of The Scorpion King (2002). An example of someone transforming into something else is The Mask (1994). Russell’s style was to keep the attention on the main hero whether they possessed good qualities or bad. Both of those elements show up in Eraser, the 1996 thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (as Eraser), Vanessa Williams (as Lee Cullens), and James Cannes (as DeGuerin) which is now available on 4K UHD. The credits roll with paperwork linked to crime scenes and issues...

TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA: Digging Into the Symbolism of Little Death

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 11:02:11 -0500

What does Spider-Man: Brand New Day have in common with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma? Oddly enough, both films, released this summer -- one a queer slasher, the other a two-billion dollar grossing MCU entry -- use the exact same piece of visual symbolism to represent female dissociation. [Read our review by Lou Cai.] It's something that has bothered me ever since I walked out of Camp Miasma -- and something actually asked about during the post-screening Q&A, only to have the question promptly deflected: Why does Little Death wear a ceiling vent as a mask? When it comes to slashers, I am a sucker for lore, probably for the same reason Jane Schoenbrun is. Why was this mask chosen? Why does the...

INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER Review: Non-Essential Entry Over-Promises and Under-Delivers

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:02:08 -0500

After an all-too-brief, barely noticed three-year hiatus, the highly profitable Insidious series returns with its sixth and unfortunately, far-from-final entry, Insidious: Out of the Further. Co-created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell as a counter to the graphic, ultra-violent blood-and-gore Saw series they originated in 2004, Insidious and its follow-ups featured a more traditional, supernatural set-up. Instead of the usual supernatural entry, however, Insidious kept the haunts, but instead of ghosts or demons haunting a specific location (i.e., a house), they haunted the human characters themselves. The premise alone contributed a generally suffocating sense of claustrophobia: Fleeing a haunted house, the standard go-to escape for supernatural stories, didn’t matter anymore. The unhappy, restless ghosts and/or the parasitic demons had to be met and...
