Highly Suspect Reviews: 28 Years Later 28 YEARS LATER MOVIE REVIEW With 28 Days Later‘s explosive success, Danny Boyle’s Oscar win with Slumdog Millionaire, and Alex Garland’s own film career, it’s not entirely surprising to see these filmmakers go back to the zombie well. 28 Years Later is the third film in the horror franchise and you guessed it, takes 28 years after the Rage Virus ravaged all of England.

Screener Squad: Dogma 25th Anniversary DOGMA 25TH ANNIVERSARY MOVIE REVIEW Jesus was beaten, bled, died for your sins and if ye so believe in him thou will be saved. Guilt, shame, and discipline are the blessings on the path to righteousness. These doctrines served the purpose of frightening kids and adults into attempting a life of virtue for years to come. The archaic and obtuse teachings, according to the media, are passe. In response, Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) would say “Christ didn’t come to earth to give us the willies, he came to help us out. He was a booster!” Then unveiling a new, everyday, […] read more on

What Ever Happened to Bette & Joan? Ep7 - "Della" and "Where Love Has Gone" WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BETTE & JOAN? EPISODE 7 – “Della” and “Where Love Has Gone” “You have devoted your life to mud and filth.” “In our 7th episode, we go camping with Bette & Joan in a pair of projects that aimed for artful drama but quickly devolved into exercises in laugh-out-loud camp. While the two actresses couldn’t seem to escape the grande dame guignol horror label, both Davis & Crawford attempted to distance themselves by taking on films they would have done a decade or so before. Although both 1965’s Della, starring Joan Crawford, and 1964’s Where Love […] read more on

Highly Suspect Reviews: Materialists MATERIALISTS MOVIE REVIEW Take one professional matchmaker for the rich and superficial (Dakota Johnson), one ex-boyfriend with all the looks and personality but no money (Chris Evans), and one absurdly rich dude who is that rare one that doesn’t seem to be a total schmuck (Pedro Pascal), and you get the love triangle that makes up A24’s latest film Materialists. Marketed as a ‘romantic comedy’, one of the things Chris, Marco, Kate, and Wright DO agree on is that it’s definitely a romantic drama with only bits of humor. Johnson is a top-level matchmaker but her shizz gets shook when […] read more on

After the huge success of R. L. Stine’s Fear Street trilogy adaptation on Netflix in 2021, it was only a matter of time before Netflix tried again to adapt the greatest YA horror author of all time with Fear Street: Prom Queen.

Highly Suspect Reviews: The Life of Chuck THE LIFE OF CHUCK MOVIE REVIEW The latest Stephen King adaptation isn’t a horror movie, although there is an apocalypse underway and a LOT of existential dread in the first (or third, as marked) act. No, it’s a feel-good, tear-jerker, ‘enjoy your life because it doesn’t last forever’ inspirational film. It’s also told in reverse order and is filled with internal easter eggs and puzzles to decipher. Sound confusing? It’s directed and the screenplay written by Mike Flanagan, and if you’re familiar with his work (Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House) you probably can sorta kinda get an idea […] read more on

Highly Suspect Reviews: The Phoenician Scheme THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME MOVIE REVIEW The thing about Wes Anderson films is, you’re either here for all of them, no matter what, or maybe just a few (probably early ones). His 2025 entry, The Phoenician Scheme, features (as usual) a metric ton of actors, many of them legendary. But the story tightly focuses on only a few. Everything revolves around Zsa-Zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro) an industrialist, arms dealer, and a bad guy in every sense you’d associate with being an ultra-rich business man. However, not only does he have financial problems, due to a secret business group that has […] read more on

Highly Suspect Reviews: Ballerina BALLERINA MOVIE REVIEW Who knew with the kick-ass but (compared to what was to come) low-key John Wick releasing in 2014 that 11 years later it would be a 4-movie, 1-spinoff, 1 tv series franchise with more obviously yet to come? The first spin-off is Ballerina, taking place between the films John Wick 3 and 4. Ana de Armas is Eve Macarro (originally played briefly by Unity Phelan in JW 3). After her father, an assassin himself, was murdered by a shadowy cult when she was a child, she was brought up as an assassin herself inside the Ruska Roma […] read more on

Screener Squad: The Rehearsal Season 2 THE REHEARSAL SEASON 2 TV REVIEW Once in a great while, a hero emerges from the shadows and shows the world that nothing is impossible. All it takes is…a little rehearsing. Nathan Fielder is back with season 2 of The Rehearsal and sheds light on an issue that could affect us all. Airplane crashes. More specifically the lack of communication in tough situations between a pilot and their co-pilot. With the success of the first critically acclaimed season and even Fielder’s acting in The Curse, HBO gives him seemingly unlimited resources to not only recreate an airport, but even put […] read more on

Screener Squad: The Studio THE STUDIO SERIES REVIEW What goes into making a cinematic classic? According to the Fablemens. It’s facing your fears, dealing with your parents divorce with courage and empathy, and understanding the importance of a horizon line. The credits at the end of a film suggest that not one visionary with a dream but rather 1,500 people make a movie. Apple+ presents another team-up of creator Evan Goldberg and producer/comedian powerhouse Seth Rogan, a ten episode insider series on the making of movies with The Studio. Matt Remick (Seth Rogan) has just been promoted to studio head and has dreams of […] read more on
