The costumes are the most important point of Boots Riley’s movie I Love Boosters because the form doesn’t just imitate the content here: the form is the content. Right down to the ending. Let me explain.
If you’re interested in the concept of the One Wish Willow, it’s not just a one-off novelty gift from a New Age crystal shop. The concept of granting one wish with invariably miserable consequences goes back millennia. Here are some of those tales, explained.
There are three main questions I’m seeing about Aleshea Harris’ film Is God Is:
1. Is this movie demonic?
2. Does it depict Black people fairly?
3. Should I go see it?
Naturally, the answers are nuanced, but I’ll give you my candid answers as best I can.
My biggest hope for The Devil Wears Prada 2 sequel was for Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci) to have already gotten his come-up after the Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) betrayal of the first film….
I’m MOTHER MARY’s target demographic, the Gothic lover infatuated with high fashion and art history, and yet the only part of this film I adored was the divine costumes, which are shown in such rapid succession that I couldn’t even appreciate them.
The film’s synopsis makes Jorma Taconne’s Over Your Dead Body sound as if it will be a thriller/comedy, but this movie goes into slasher territory.
Widow’s Bay island is forty miles off New England. It’s quaint and beautiful, but its industry is dwindling. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) tries to revive the economy by pitching Widow’s Bay as a perfect tourist destination. The locals are against it—but not for the reason you’d expect.

Despite what the marketing for this movie sells us, Kristoffer Borgli’s new film The Drama is not a comedy. The film is about owning up to what you did to the people who matter, atoning for it, and doing better. Also, secondary thesis: a normal wedding is drama enough without any suddenly-revealed dark secrets causing rifts.
The creative processes of other artforms are always fascinating, and the level of specificity to which Marc Jacobs (and Sofia Coppola) plunge in this film is its singular aspect.
A solid concept, vibes, and one excellent, charismatic actor in an otherwise flattish role does not counterbalance the lack of momentum in the slasher plot, underdeveloped characters, and tonal abandon.
Project Hail Mary (2026) could have easily been a horror movie… but that was not its mission. The craftsmanship is so genius that it bubble-wraps a truly terrifying premise into a narrative that is both appropriate for a PG-13 audience and compelling for anyone watching.
“And we all agreed that everything after that was extra. And when our time came, we would all remember…” Theme, explained.
“Best Irish movies to watch on St. Patrick’s Day” here means tight scripts centered around history, crime, and horror.
