Smile (2022) is Rated R for self-inflicted Chelsea smiles, falling through glass tabletops, conversations and gruesome pictures about suicides, the unfortunate (off-screen) demise of a cat, and a visual representation of mental illness which reminds me strongly of Shawn Coss.
Movie Review – ‘Bros’ brings new life to the rom-com
What Judd Apatow, Nicholas Stoller, and Billy Eichner have done with the film is nothing short of a miracle. Leaving out the fact that they got a major studio to release a film in theaters starring openly gay lead actors and a principal cast made up of primarily LGBTQ+ actors and actresses, they manage to turn what may be initially jarring for some into an enjoyable, heart-warming, and funny story about two people falling in love – gender and sexual orientation simply don’t matter. Gay, straight, bi, or whatever you consider yourself, Bros is definitely the funniest film on screen in years.
Movie Review – ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ is a mixed bag of spells and delusions
Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) is rated PG because it’s Disney. You may find the songs as objectionable as I did, but I don’t think that’s what the MPAA had in mind.
Movie Review – ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ wants to be something it’s not (watchable)

Movie Review – ‘We Are Art’ is an immersive peek into the Other of Society
We Are Art – Through the Eyes of Annalaura (2022) is NR and had nothing objectionable. It’s a documentary about that rare species, enjoyable art.
Movie Review – ‘Raven’s Hollow’ is a supernatural retelling of Poe’s beginnings
Raven’s Hollow is Unrated, but call it R for swears, opium abuse, disembowelment, people getting slashed, people getting shot, barrows of body parts, and paddocks of pallid pigs.
Movie Review – ‘223 Wick’ is a religious thriller with a chatty diety
223 Wick (2022) is unrated but call it PG-13 for swears, Father John in his underwear – a lot, sisterly cannibalism, people getting stabbed, people getting hit over the head, and people consumed by bugs (or rats, no one ever said).

Movie Review – ‘Pearl’ isn’t the precious commodity we’re expecting
Pearl (2022) is rated R for swears, gooseicide, scarecrow sexytimes, lots of pitchfork stabbings, an immolation, a suffocation, snotty crying, and body parts fed to alligators.

Movie Review – ‘Goodnight Mommy’ is up past its bedtime
Movie Review – ‘See How They Run’ is a witty cozy mystery
