Infinity Pool 2023
Infinity pool is best summarized as a metaphor for the animalistic hubris of the wealthy and privileged. Dir. Brandon Cronenburg’s attempt at reconstructing this concept is unique, but ultimately comes off as heavy-handed and pretentious. Alexander Skarsgård and Mia Goth offer great performances and Cronenburg poses some interesting moral dilemmas, but ultimately the message of this movie has been done better before.

Skinamarink 2022
Skinamarink tethers it’s horror to common childhood fears, like being afraid when we’re separated from our parents or being afraid of the dark. However, Skinamarink’s approach to these traditional horror tropes is what sets it apart from classic horror cinema. Through minimalistic cinematography, distorted audio, and overexposed and underexposed lighting, Skinamarink attempts to elicit these core childhood nightmares from its audience with varying success. True horror fans may find this unique approach refreshing, though many might find the approach discombobulating and dull.

The Batman 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” (2022) takes a fresh new perspective on the caped crusader that is both mystifying and a little bit drawn out. Excellent cinematography, great subtle humor, exciting fighting scenes, an enthralling musical score and some pretty good performances from Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano, Zoë Kravitz and especially Colin Farrell, make the first two acts of this film pretty entertaining. Matt Reeves also does an excellent job taking a more “Film Noir” approach compared to previous Batman films. However, the movie suffers from pacing issues around the third act, and a somewhat anticlimactic finish might leave some wanting more.

Mulan 2020
If I’d have to describe this movie with one word, it would be soulless. Whatever fantastical wonder you might’ve felt while watching the original cartoon will be literally sucked out of you by the time you get through the 115 minute run-time. The absence of the original songs, interesting action sequences, genuine humor and overall character development is blatant. If I had to say something good about the movie, I suppose I’d give credit to the production value; the sets…
