'High Heat' (2022) Movie Review

Remember to tip people who work in restaurants, and tip them well. Not only is it polite, but they have also unfettered access to do unspeakably vile things to your food should the need arise. Also, in the case of director Zach Golden’s new action thriller High Heat, the proprietor of the eatery in question may be an ex-KGB operative. So maybe don’t get on her bad side if you can help it.

'Knives Out' (2019) Movie Review

A tried and true Hollywood staple that’s fallen by the wayside in modern times is the whodunnit. And it’s a crying shame, because, when done well, they’re a damn fine time. While I wasn’t a fan of Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, I appreciate the effort. When it comes to Knives Out, Rian Johnson’s new, modern-day riff on Agatha Christie, I appreciate the effort as well as the result, which is an absolute blast and one of the most entertaining movies of 2019.

I’m definitely in the camp that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is great, and I love that long ago, far, far away galaxy.

It’s one of my most-anticipated movies of the year, and this first trailer does nothing to dissuade my excitement.

'Brawl In Cell Block 99' Trailer: Vince Vaughn Beats Up A Car In 'Bone Tomahawk' Director's Latest
