Movie Review: 'On the Count of Three' is a Terrific Directorial Debut for Jerrod Carmichael
Mental health experts will tell you that suicidal people will seem happier right before they take their life. It doesn’t always happen that way, but in most cases euphoria sets in once death is certain. The dark dramatic comedy, On the Count of Three, from star and director Jerrod Carmichael, pictures suicide from a different perspective. On the Count of Three is a suicide comedy, a dark comedy, of course, and it captures the kind of feelings mental health experts see in suicidal patients.

10 Things I Hate About Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness
Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness arrived in theaters following a delay due to COVID-19 and somehow, even with extra time to tweak it and fix mistakes, the movie arrived in theaters and is absolutely awful. I despised Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. I hate the CGI, I hate what they do to one particular beloved character, and I hate that the overall theme of Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness could be boiled down to a motivational meme on a random Instagram account.

Movie Review: 'Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness' is an Awful Movie
Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness is by far the worst movie in the modern Marvel Cinematic Universe. Multiverse of Madness gets off on the wrong foot from the opening scene and gets worse and worse with every turn of the plot and obvious failure of logic. Haphazardly assembled by director Sam Raimi, Multiverse of Madness piles bad special effects on top of bad storytelling while good performances suffocate under the weight of those failures.

Documentary Review: 'Box of Rain' is a Love Letter to Fans of The Grateful Dead
Box of Rain is an emotional journey through the connection of The Grateful Dead and their incredibly unique and dedicated fandom. Shot through the prism of director Lonnie Frazier’s own emotional connection to the band, forged in the wake of a devastating sexual assault, Box of Rain reflects on a loving and supportive fandom that is like few others in modern popular culture, music or otherwise.

Movie Review: Memory is Deeply Forgettable
Memory is yet another brain-free bullet fest from Liam Neeson. This time it’s even more potentially offensive as Neeson uses dementia and alzheimers as the tragic backstory for his violent character. In Memory, Neeson is a killer for hire who is slowly slipping into permanent memory loss and it’s as dubious a plot device as you imagine. Why anyone thought that using alzheimers and dementia would be a great backdrop for a generic action movie is beyond me but here we are.

Movie Review: 'Hatching' is One of the Best of the Year
Hatching takes the story of a girl ‘coming out of her shell’ to a frightening and enlightening place. This stylish film from Finland may have a rather blunt metaphor regarding a young woman transitioning into becoming a teenager but that bluntness is part of the disorienting and exciting horror/thriller vibe that director Hanna Bergholm is going for in Hatching. The bluntness is completely intentional and it works like a magic trick to keep you looking one way while you are upended by the style of the storytelling, the frightening metaphoric imagery, and the exceptional use of color.
