CHILDREN OF THE WICKER MAN Video Interview: Dominic Hardy Sheds Further Light

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:02:01 -0500

Some films never die. They just keep demanding sacrifices. In the case of The Wicker Man (1973), those sacrifices have been many and varied: Those made in the service of shooting and releasing the film, and dealing with financial fallout. The effort and energy expended by scholars, historians, and critics attempting to assign meaning to it. The money spent on tickets, physical media, and other memorabilia by a growing group of rabid fans, of which I am one. There have also been two other films: The remake The Wicker Man (2006) and director Robin Hardy’s sequel, The Wicker Tree (2011), neither of which fared particularly well with critics or audiences. But Children of the Wicker Man (2024) is a film that gives far...

MOANA (2026) Review: Bland, Dull, Lifeless Live-Action Remake

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 21:02:09 -0500

Unnecessary. Redundant. Superfluous. Three English-language words that describe the same or similar experience in life or fiction. Any one of those words, alone or collectively, can also describe Moana, the less-than-anticipated live-action remake of the 10-year-old animated hit that enthralled audiences in theaters and has done likewise at home since its release. The original animated film proved so popular that it almost spawned an animated series. Instead, Disney scrapped those plans and pushed forward with developing the aptly named sequel, Moana 2, just two years ago. With an overwhelmingly inescapable feeling of “too much, too soon” permeating every aspect of its preproduction, production, and now release, the live-action remake once again stars Dwayne Johnson as Maui, an egocentric, worship-seeking trickster demi-god on a...

THE WRONG GIRLS Trailer & Poster: Technicolour Stoner Comedy Caper

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 14:30:00 -0500

Stoner comedies, when they hit the right vibe, can work very well even fopr those who have no experience with or interest in a partiocular substance. It's an oddly relatable situation, when you are not quite in the right mind set, not quite in the same wavelength as everyone else, and everything is excagerrated or magical or weird. Or in the case of The Wrong Girls, dangerous. The feature debut of producer and sceenwriter Dylan Meyer (XOXO, Moxie), starring Kristen Stewart, Alia Shawkat, LaKeith Stanfield, Tony Hale, Kate McKinnon, Genna Davis, and (deep breath) Seth Rogan and Kumail Nanjiani as the voices of two adorable squish-face cats, this seems to be the late summer comedy we will need. Two codependent best friends living paycheck to paycheck and...

Fantasia 2026: INSECTASY Trailer Asks "You're Into Bugs, Right?"

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 11:32:11 -0500

A film trailer that asks two questions -- "Are you into bugs?" and "Are you a pervert?" -- is a trailer worth sharing. Angus Silver's perfectly portmanteau'd titled, Insectasy, is world premiering as part of the UNDERGROUND side-bar at Fantasia in a few weeks. This new-ish programme to the festival often foregrounds transgressive sexual pictures, but rarely as beautifully shot as this one, which seems to sit in the perfect middle ground between Peter Strickland's Duke of Burgundy, and Dario Argento's Phenomena, with just the slightest nod towards the 1970s Euro-sleaze homage and ASMR-adjacent work of Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani (Amer, The Strange Colour of Your Bodies Tears). From the Fantasia International Film Festival catalogue: "Blurring the line between waking and sleeping life, INSECTASY...

THE SEOUL GUARDIANS Review: Fighting for Democracy in South Korea

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:02:12 -0500

Late at night on December 3, 2024, President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea declared martial law, staging a coup that threatened the country's government. The only way to reverse the declaration was for politicians to vote against it at the National Assembly. But police and military summoned by Yoon will not let anyone enter the building. That's all the context you need for The Seoul Guardians, one of the most concise and frightening documentaries of the year. It's impossible to watch without thinking about other countries facing similar crises — in particular a United States whose White House was overrun by rioters. Directed by Jong-Woo Kim, Shin-Wan Kim, and Chul-Young Cho, three broadcast journalists, the film uses a semi-verité approach to the incident. An...

Sound And Vision: Yoshihiro Nishimura

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:00:10 -0500

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week we discuss two distinct music videos by Yoshihiro Nishimura. Yoshihiro Nishimura passed away a few weeks ago, at age 59. The director of films like Tokyo Gore Police, Meatball Machine Kudoku, Mutant Girl Squad, Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl and Hell Driver was also known as a special effects wizard. Often dubbed the Tom Savini of Japan, a typical Nishimura joint is full of surreal and irreverent body horror, gory action, slapsticky humor, and a lot of objectified women in scantily clad attire. Nishimura made two music videos that divide the elements he is most known for between the two. The 50 Kaitenz's Killer (see below)...
