Having as much in common with 50s science fiction as it does its own dependably looney spirit, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie is a refreshing 2D-animated throwback littered with sight gags galore and an anarchic energy throughout. Perhaps a bit long in the tooth, The Day the Earth Blew Up excels best by letting the likes of Porky and Daffy do what they’ve always done best in the medium they were made and built for.…

Opus 2025
Concerning celebrity worship and cult-like fanaticism, Opus begins strongly with a commendably eccentric turn from John Malkovich who toes the line between David Bowie and Jim Jones as a reclusive pop star harboring something sinister behind the gates of his secluded estate. Benefitting from a soundtrack of sexy and funky original tracks that make the genius of Malkovich’s character all the more convincing, Opus devolves by sacrificing the promise of its alluring opening with a payoff that has less to say on its own themes and instead settling on a fairly derivative endgame in mind for its crazed cult leader’s master plan.

Old 2021
Just when you thought it was safe to trust M. Night Shyamalan again, Old is here to remind you to strongly go fuck yourself. Poorly written and nonsensical as shit, viewers will be envious of those who perish quickly on the paradise locale while I was jealous of the man snoring a row away from me.

Mickey 17 2025
Like a pulpy sci-fi paperback realized on a grand budget, Mickey 17 wades in the waters of reanimation, fear of mortality and fat-headed politicians trying to shape the world in their own deranged interpretation of greatness. Featuring enjoyably quirky turns from Robert Pattinson, Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette, Mickey 17 tackles all these subjects with its tongue planted in cheek as it comments on the weird world we currently occupy within its genre framing. Overextended to a fault, Bong Joon-ho’s followup to his Oscar darling Parasite is rewardingly weird and ambitious even if it doesn’t necessarily exceed that film’s reception.
