"Arcadian" squeezes what is most likely the last few drops of originality and substance out of the "mosters and the apocalypse" concept. But it nevertheless works thanks to main characters who I actually found myself caring about and its frighteningly unique creatures.

Perfect Days (2023)

"Perfect Days" is a film were the little things added together determine its worth. It's about mundanity, but it's anything but mundane.

Challengers (2024)

"Challengers" is a challenging film for sure. It's meandering and convoluted, but also riveting for its showcase of top-notch performances, electric visual style, and juicy love triangle plot that marries power dynamics melodrama to a sports metaphor about determination.

The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/28/24
After what happened with the end of the new Halloween franchise and now this, David Gordon Green should be kept far away from any new horror projects. I agree, along with many others, that Believer seems to be an antithesis to the spirit and sheer effectiveness of the original. Both banal and cliched, the film offers little in any kid of true horror nor any emotional connection to go along with it. And poor Ellen Burstyn (who fully admitted to coming back only for the money) must contend with …

The best of the "John Wick" offspring we've seen. Dev Patel shows off as a more than competent director and action star.

The Holdovers - Review
"Life is like a henhouse ladder. Shitty and short."
From start to finish, I had a goofy smile while watching The Holdovers. It’s sweet and thoughtful that despite taking place in the snowy Massachusetts, USA, it has a warm and welcoming feel.
It’s a holiday season type of movie starring three characters who could not be more different from each other but “found” each other in complicated times. One is a cranky and stick-in-the-mud history teacher named Paul Hunham, who smells …

Who would have thought that Exorcist: Belieber would be a perfect movie for a nap?
Because man, what a boring piece of shit.
It's not scary or creepy. Its attempts to duplicate the editing from the 1973 film is a poor carbon copy. Ellen Burstyn's role in the movie is pathetic and a disservice to her character. I didn't give a shit about the fates of the two possessed girls.
This feels like every other Exorcist movie, as it brings nothing new.

Another funny, moving, and insightful comedy from Alexander Payne who per usual finds humor the best tool to explore characters' inner sadness.

"Believer" starts out promising, but soon disintegrates into a movie that is everything William Friedkin's masterpiece wasn't. The sense of dread is manufactured, and by the time the movie reaches its confusing and lame CGI-filled anticlimax, it feels so far off from "The Exorcist" and closer related to something in the "Insidious" or "Conjuring" universes.
