‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’: Blood, gore and really fun horror

Justin George | Monday, February 21, 2022

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is the ninth film of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM) franchise and third film to bear its name. (Seriously, stop naming sequels the same thing as the original.) The “plot” follows a group of influencers who buy up the majority of a small town in rural Texas to … do something

‘Kate’: Bad acting and the fundamental question of human existence

Joyce Fu | Tuesday, September 21, 2021

When I first heard about “Kate,” it was introduced to me as a perpetrator of anti-Asian violence in that the majority of the Asian characters serve as cannon fodder for the white heroine. The next time I heard about “Kate,” it was number one on Netflix. I decided to momentarily put aside my prejudice against

2019’s socially-aware thriller of the year: ‘Parasite’

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, October 30, 2019

In every country, there’s poverty. But wherever there’s poverty, wealth can be found nearby. Sometimes, this wealth can be found only as a dream in the minds of the poor; sometimes, it can literally be seen down the block in a stunning luxury mansion with a lovely lawn of green grass.

Where ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ disappoints, ‘The Price of Everything’ fills in gaps

Nora McGreevy | Thursday, February 14, 2019
