Excalibur Comes Home With A Miraculous 4K UHD Worthy of Legend I love myself a good sword-and-sorcery movie—heroes with great bravado, legendary swords of myth, and epic tales of kings. There was a wave of these movies in the ‘80s, from movies like The Beastmaste...

HBO Max's 'DTF St. Louis' Gets Down to Business The real love story isn’t what you might expect in Steven Conrad's ambitious drama about middle-age friendship, hookup culture… and murder

Reviewed: Biblical battles, evil AI & Heathcliff's revenge - Cambridge Day Up for review this week are family friendly biblical legends, brotherly dysfunction, matrix-style chaos, and Emerald Fennel's sultry take on the Brontë classic "Wuthering Heights."

Unlike SALTBURN’s feints toward smart satire, Emerald Fennell’s “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” makes no bones about its dumbness— and ironically is far smarter for it. Review is up in @cambridgeday.com!

Movie Review: 'Acts of Love' This Danish import is a psychologically complex fable of trauma, faith, and family

Highly charged questions roil the otherwise placid life of a church community (or is it a cult?) in "Acts of Love."

Hey all: If you hadn't heard, YouTube has a new algorithm-affecting button labeled "HYPE" which helps creators/videos get noticed, but it's only active for the first 7 days a video is posted - so if you hit this link and like what you see here ...maybe give that a "HYPE" 😁

The new teen horror WHISTLE is basically diet FINAL DESTINATION, but it’s harmless enough if you have a soft spot for that sort of thing. I might’ve erred positive if it was released closer to Halloween. Review in @bostonhassle.bsky.social! bostonhassle.com/review-whist...

Review – Mother Of Flies MOTHER OF FLIES. With Zelda Adams, Toby Poser, John Adams, Lulu Adams, James Lindsay. Written and directed by John Adams, Zelda Adams, Toby Poser. Unrated. 92 min. On Shudder. All together ooky The…

MOTHER OF FLIES is what might be called “arthouse horror.” There’s lots of blood, to be sure, but it’s a slow burning film where all the pieces don’t fall into place until the final 20 minutes.
