It’s that time of year again. As we tick into the fall schedule, with festivals on the horizon in every direction, studios begin to line-up their big hitters for possible big theatrical, and potential Oscar runs. However, this year many of the big guns are abstaining and that includes Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Soggy Bottom,” Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” and Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up.”

‘Oxygen’: American-French Horror Thriller Ups the Ante of Suspense [Capsule]

May 11, 2021 Theo Fisher

Alejandro Aja’s “Oxygen” (Netflix, 05.12.21) his follow up to “Crawl” is an extremely watchable understated horror film. With the “buried alive” aspect almost being a genre of its own, this French thriller does really well to break out of what, if not paced well, could have easily become a tedious 90 minutes.

Oscars 2021: The 14 Best Picture Frontrunners

March 10, 2021 Theo Fisher

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, all but delaying a slew of this year’s would-be Oscar contenders, the Academy Awards are still scheduled to happen in 2 months’ time, meaning that certain movies need to be discussed. Is it so surprising that nearly all of the following 13 Best Picture contenders are available on either Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus or Amazon Prime? Of course not. This will be the strangest Oscars yet and, for that, consider us absolutely intrigued at the prospect of seeing them pull this ceremony off.

February 26, 2021 Theo Fisher

Hollywood’s most ridiculous awards ceremony returns, albeit six weeks later than usual. Even with its value to awards season decreasing every year (and rightly so), and with the (not so) shocking allegations hanging over HFPA members, they may have been wise to let the globes rest for a year. However, here we are. So, let’s see who the virtual winners on Sunday night might be…

 ‘True Detective': Still An Underseen Masterpiece

October 1, 2020 Theo Fisher

The show that arguably paved the way for a new wave of dramas not operating in a normal linear format. Written by Nic Pizzolatto and directed by Cary Fukunaga, “True Detective” (season one) turns six this year. From its psychospiritual monologues, harrowing events, electric performances, and gripping storytelling, this puzzle of a show remains one of the single best seasons of television ever made.

‘The New Mutants': Much Worse Than You Could Have Ever Imagined [Review]

September 7, 2020 Theo Fisher

The final X-Men film from Fox, pre-Disney merger, has finally bowed on screens, some two years and five months after it was originally supposed to do so. It would have been naïve to think going into the film that it would resemble anything close to quality cinema, especially given how close it came to never see the light of day, and what we get is an underwritten and tonal mess.

Spill out your popcorn, summer is almost over and the fall is upon us. Yes, the leaves are falling, but the good movies are coming as well. After a summer movie season destroyed by a never-ending pandemic, the upcoming fall movie season looks to bring back some kind of normalcy, albeit in hybrid fashion as both digital and theatrical releases will be at headed or way. We've picked the 20 movies we’re most excited about. There will surely be surprises and disappointments, but these are the ones that have the most potential to make movies great again.

With Hollywood’s chief blockbuster maker hard at work editing his new espionage thriller “Tenet,” let’s take a look through his catalog to date. A catalog that many have in different ranking order.
