The 50 Most-Anticipated Movies Of 2021

Something I’ve said and likely will continue to say is that every year is a great year for film. More often than not, when people express the sentiment that a year is bad for movies, they mean big blockbuster Hollywood movies. But there’s never been a single year without a ton of great cinema. 

Brent's Top 15 Movies Of 2020

Don’t know if you noticed, but 2020 was a weird year for movies. Not sure why. Oh yeah, that’s right, the sweeping worldwide pandemic that shut down most of the world at one point or another. That’ll do it.

'Max Cloud' (2020) Movie Review

When Max Cloud, AKA The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud, works, it’s a good amount of ridiculous, silly fun, with an intentionally absurd premise, and a solid cast fronted by DTV all-star Scott Adkins. The problem is there’s not much substance to the core idea and the entire thing runs out its course early on, spending any narrative steam in short order. This is a prime example of a concept that might make for a cool short film, but that doesn’t have enough substance for a feature. And the result is a movie that’s stretched and thin.

'Skylines' (2020) Movie Review

It happens often that a movie, usually a major studio production, aims to kick off a franchise, only for it to be a no-go. It also happens, in rarer occasions, that a movie aiming to kick off a theatrical franchise flops, but a franchise happens anyway, usually in the hallowed, at least around here, halls of DTV. Sometimes a series pops up where no one expected. 

'Nobody' Trailer: Bob Odenkirk Goes On A Rampage, And Yes, He Could Beat You Up

Okay, now I’m scared of Bob Odenkirk. Maybe not scared of him, because he seems like a genuinely nice guy, but I do now know that if it ever came down to it, he could kick my ass, just beat the ever-loving crap out of me. Don’t believe me? Watch the trailer for his upcoming action movie Nobody and then lets talk. 

'Koko-Di Koko-Da' (2018) Movie Review

We’ve seen the Groundhog-Day-as-horror conceit before, most recently with the Happy Death Day movies. But in Swedish oddity Koko-di Koko-da, writer/director Johannes Nyholm takes the concept to straight-up psychological nightmare territory. Twisted and terrifying, it offers a time-loop of grief, death, and adorable animated shadow puppet bunnies and birds, which he also manages to turn scary and unnerving as all hell. 

'Archenemy' (2020) Movie Review

Superhero films are massive at the moment. You probably noticed that. They’re so ubiquitous they’ve even spawned a veritable cottage industry of dark, gritty indie takes on the genre. Not necessarily a new phenomenon—this has been going on for some time—films like Boy Wonder, Freaks, Chronicle, and others put their own spin on the material, viewing heroes through different lenses, approaching the topic from unusual perspectives. The latest entry into this fray is Archenemy from director Adam Egypt Mortimer (Daniel isn’t Real).
