The movie that started one tremendous franchise. Today marks a special occasion as this is my 100th review on this website. To celebrate, I decided to do something a little more personal. The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, the prototype of my favorite tv series of all time.

It’s an art film, I swear!
Ah, two of my favorite genres combined. Porno is set in 1992 and concerns a movie theatre that stresses strong Christian values to its employees, the most subtly named of which is Chasity (Jillian Mueller) or Chaz for short. One night they discover this mysterious film reel that they decide to watch after work. The …
Deaky
Gotta get down on Friday. Life has not been going well for Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton). Her dad’s dead, leading her mom Coral (Katie Finneran) to become an alcoholic. She gets bullied by mean girl Ryler (Melissa Collazo), shop teacher Mr. Bernadi (Alan Ruck), and all the jocks at her school besides dreamboat Booker (Uriah …
No more Mr. Nice Guy
So this is what feminist rage looks like. (Unmarked Spoilers) Cassandra “Cassie” Thomas (Carey Mulligan) is a coffee shop worker by day but a whole different person by night. She goes to a bar and acts super intoxicated until a “nice guy” who thinks that basic human decency entitles them to sex offers to help. …
Gay Happy Meetings
Being home for the holidays is the best. (Unmarked Spoilers) Happiest Season finds Kristen Stewart playing someone who isn’t just that same unemotional Kristen Stewart character. Hallelujah, it’s a Christmas miracle. To be more specific, she plays Abby, who plans on proposing to her girlfriend Harper (Mackenzie Davis) on Christmas morning. If Davis’ role in …
Aren’t we glad that the folks are gone
That’s what you get for staying up past your bedtime. (Unmarked Spoilers) In The Babysitter, we meet Cole (Judah Lewis), a 12-year-old kid afraid of needles, driving, and standing up to his bullies, who encompass practically everyone around him. All of which will probably have you quoting Tim Roth’s character in Hardcore Henry. (‘You. Little. …
We can be villains
Just for one day. Villains stars Bill Skarsgård and Maika Monroe, both previously in popular horror films about a shapeshifting it. Yes, the two of them playing a couple is much too ironic to be a coincidence. To be more specific, they are Mickey and Jules are two young thieves on the run with dreams of …
Happy belated birthday Kick-A*s!
If I was a better critic, I would have had this out yesterday. (Unmarked Spoilers) For those of you who don’t know, Kick-A*s is to superhero movies what Scream is to horror movies. The plot concerns this loser high school student named Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), who decides to be a real-life superhero named Kick-A*s. He also finally earns …
“Hey man, my name’s Adolf. This is my good friend Jojo.”
You may be surprised how hilarious Nazis can be. Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) is a small child growing up in Nazi Germany who’s enrolled in the Hitler Youth camp and fanatic about their ideology. Unfortunately for Jojo, but not the rest of the world, his youthful enthusiasm, naivety, and inexperience doesn’t make him the best …

It’s Harley Quinn’s world, they’re just living in it
Why didn’t I just use the money I spent on The Gentlemen for this? This movie’s got its title wrong. Instead of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), it should be Harley Quinn (guest-starring the Birds of Prey). (I dare you to say that sentence five times fast.) I suspected as much …
