Already a front runner for this year’s award for the longest official movie title, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” throws us back into the pains of watching Americans in their natural state: generally horrible human beings. Now, there’s some light at the end of the tunnel as this film features nearly two individuals who are actually helpful and try to do the right thing.

If you’ve heard about “Cuties”, you’ve likely heard one or more of the following: it promotes pedophilia, it’s a documentary, there’s underage nudity, and there’s 11-year olds performing sex acts on themselves and/or others. None of those are the case.
When fans of “Watchmen” and “Umbrella Academy” can say, “did you see what happened in that episode? It was so nuts”. “The Boys” fans just shake their heads, saying, “you’re adorable.”
Disney’s ongoing foray into rehashing its existing classic properties as Live-Action remakes has seemingly done the unlikely with “Mulan,” namely by giving its new incarnation a reason to exist.
Bill & Ted haven’t changed very much, and neither has the overall storyline, but in the end, “Bill & Ted Face the Music” a familiar and charming ride.
HBO is diving into the even deeper end of the allegorical genre fiction pool with its new series “Lovecraft Country.” A reference to the science fiction/horror/fantasy worlds of the celebrated author, H.P.

The vibe is a mix of the racial by way of genre flavor of “Watchmen,” the thriller of “Get Out,” find the monsters of “The X-Files,” and the quest of the week like “Friday the 13th” or “Warehouse 13.” Set in the 1950s, the series follows Korean War…
“The Rental,” is a horror film that unfortunately misses the mark in creating any kind of either tension or horror.
John Stewart is America’s leading political satirists, so in his new “Irresistible”, it comes as a shock that it feels pointedly depressing rather than fun.
“The King of Staten Island” is one of those movies which has a charm because of its willingness to bare the soul of its lead actor and co-writer.
For a crime thriller, it’s a problem when there’s nothing thrilling, and it barely cares about the crime. Its main crime is a great cast, wasted.
