Courtesy of A24 Marty Supreme is the latest film directed by Josh Safdie and stars Timothee Chalamet as Marty Mauser, a ping pong player looking to be the best in the world and win the world championship. This isn't your ordinary sports film. Sure, there's ping pong in it and scenes where matches are being played. But, Marty Supreme is more than that. It is a film about doing whatever it takes to achieve your dream, even if you hurt people along the way. This film has been ma

Courtesy of Netflix After Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the Knives Out franchise was stuck in the mud. The disappointing sequel was seen a huge disappointment for movie goers and Netflix.

Courtesy of Viaplay Content Distribution While Vanguard spins quite the different take on Leonardo Dicaprio’s white collar caper of 2012, Jakob Oftebro’s performance as one of Sweden's wealthiest people takes the complex rich man persona to new heights.   It has admittedly been some time since I last stepped back into the world of Viaplay . For those that could use an introduction, Viaplay is an massively underrated Nordic and European streaming service which US viewers could

Courtesy of Vertical Bunny  is both disturbing and dream-like. We’re dealing with dead bodies and flirtatious parties. It is comfortable but yet emotionally heavy in ways you’d never expect it to be.   At its core, Bunny is a microcosm of the East Village on a very, very busy summer day.

Victor Frankenstein creates a creature, and the creature goes after him. This version also feels fresh and
