Check Out Florence Pugh and Harry Styles in ‘Don’t Worry Darling’

April 26, 2022April 27, 2022 Mike Manalo

Booksmart was one of the very best films of 2019, making it an incredibly terrific debut for first-time director, Olivia Wilde. Wilde crafted an absolutely hilarious film with a sharp script and star-making performances from Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein. She employed hilarious stop motion techniques and stylish indie sensibility with the feel of a classic teenage coming-of-age romp.

NOC Review: ‘Deep Water’ Feels a Bit Shallow

March 16, 2022March 16, 2022 Mike Manalo

We love Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck. They’re terrific actors. And they elevate every project they’re in. No matter how repetitive and pointless it might be. And those are the two adjectives that come to mind when I think about Deep Water.

‘The Midnight Swim’ Dives Deep into Grief and Depression

March 15, 2022March 16, 2022 Bray Lawrence

A moment in time where a world full of the diversity of life, people, animals, and color, is swept to the sea and you are left with an isolating void of muted memories and half remembered thoughts. The Midnight Swim — a 2015 film recently made available on home video and streaming — written and directed by Sarah Adina Smith, dives deep into the nuance of these feelings through poetic and graceful filmmaking.

‘Alan Wake Remastered’ Brings a Brilliant Cult Classic to a New Generation

November 17, 2021November 18, 2021 Bray Lawrence

It started like a dream. I never thought I would be playing Alan Wake again after 10 years. Most of the plot, gameplay, and characters felt like mere shadows of a half remembered dream I had. Moments of the sequences I enjoyed mixed with the frustrated “eh” feelings I had for the combat, left me wondering if revisiting this game now that I am closer to the age of the titular character would change the shape my thoughts from what I thought of it before.
