I walked into the theater with high expectations for Project Hail Mary. I walked out with something I wasn't fully prepared for. Project Hail Mary is a movie that genuinely moved me, cracked me up, and had my jaw dropping at the screen more than once. I've seen a lot of space movies. This one is different.

So, can exercise offset the risks of alcohol? It's a question a lot of us have quietly asked ourselves after a hard workout followed by a cold beer. But does hitting the gym actually help cancel out the damage alcohol does to your body? The answer, according to a growing body of research, is a fascinating YES! With some important caveats.

There are movies about gamers, and then there are movies that actually get gaming culture. Matter of Time, directed by Jeremy Snead hits theaters nationwide on February 27th. It’s one of the most genuinely connected-to-the-culture films I've seen in a long time.  It’s a love letter to gaming culture and the friendships that define us. 

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die follows a wild-eyed time traveler (Sam Rockwell) who's jumped back from a dystopian future to warn us that things are about to get extremely bad. Think Time Bandits meets a rave inside a malfunctioning arcade machine, and you're starting to get the vibe. It's chaotic, colorful, completely unhinged, and one of the most inventive sci-fi experiences I've had in years.

In an era dominated by sequels, reboots, and cinematic universes, Eternity arrives like a visitor from an alternate timeline, one where original ideas still get the Hollywood treatment they deserve. This fantasy romantic comedy doesn't just entertain, it poses genuinely complicated questions about love, happiness, and what we'd choose if we truly had forever.

The Smashing Machine, director Benny Safdie's solo debut from A24, arrives in theaters October 3, 2025, starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in a visceral exploration of UFC Hall of Famer Mark Kerr's rise and fall. This isn't your typical sports biopic. It's an unflinching portrait of addiction, vulnerability, and the human cost of greatness that sees Johnson deliver the most transformative performance of his career, shedding his blockbuster persona to embody one of mixed martial arts' most complex pioneers.

The ModRetro Chromatic is an exceptional tribute to the Game Boy Color that justifies its premium price with uncompromising build quality, pixel-perfect accuracy, and genuine hardware emulation. If you're serious about retro gaming and want something built to last decades, this is worth every penny.

Caught Stealing is a grungy look back at late 90s New York life, which I absolutely love seeing on screen. However, this movie gets to third base but doesn't quite hit the home run I was hoping for. It's not because of the story, cinematography, or directing. Those elements are genuinely great, it's because of the amazing cast of characters we meet along the way, all of whom deserve their own stories.

Skullcandy Aviator 900 ANC Review. After 15 years in hibernation, Skullcandy's legendary Aviator line has returned and it's brought some serious upgrades. The new Aviator 900 ANC headphones mark Skullcandy's bold entry into the premium audio space at $299.99, and after putting them through their paces (including some unconventional gym testing), I can confidently say the wait was worth it.

Set in May 2020 in the small town of Eddington, New Mexico, the film centers on a volatile standoff between a local sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and the town's mayor (Pedro Pascal). As tensions escalate, neighbors turn against neighbors in a powder keg situation that perfectly captures the societal fractures of the early COVID pandemic.

The NikeCraft Tom Sachs Mars Yard stands as my favorite sneaker collaboration of all time, and for good reason. This isn't just another limited release or celebrity endorsement, it's a shoe that has been meticulously developed over two decades, with every aspect carefully considered and refined. The Mars Yard is aggressively authentic, representing a true evolution in both design and philosophy. What makes this collaboration exceptional is that it's always been a genuine 50/50 partnership between Tom Sachs and Nike, resulting in something that transcends typical brand collaborations. As Tom Sachs himself puts it, NikeCraft is for the people, just like Wu Tang.

Heads of State is the kind of high-energy action-comedy that should be dominating July 4th weekend box office charts, complete with packed theaters full of cheering audiences. Instead, thanks to Amazon's 2022 acquisition of MGM Studios, this entertaining romp is heading straight to Prime Video on July 2nd.

Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's return to the rage virus-infected world of 28 Days Later proves that some sequels are worth the nearly three-decade wait. 28 Years Later is equal parts brutal, brilliant, and beautiful. It’s a film that manages to elevate the zombie genre while delivering an unexpectedly tender human story at its core.

Okay, let me just say this upfront, Materialists made me feel incredibly grateful for my 20+ year marriage. Director Celine Song has created something that's equal parts fascinating and heartbreaking: a brutally honest look at what it's like to find love in today's world of dating apps and algorithms.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK IS A LIFE-AFFIRMING STORY THAT'S TOLD IN REVERSE ORDER AND MIGHT BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY STEPHEN KING HAS EVER WRITTEN!

I intentionally avoided the press notes for two months before seeing this film because I wanted to experience it completely fresh and I'm so glad I did. This isn't just another Stephen King adaptation; it's something genuinely special that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

The Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) returned for its 19th edition this year, marking a significant milestone as it celebrated its first year as an Academy Award Qualifying Festival.

I've been working out for over 20 years. I'm an amateur strongman and head to toe strength is important to me and my fitness programming. Listen up, because I'm about to drop some knowledge on the one gym accessory that's been in my gym bag longer than those protein shakers I keep forgetting to wash.

In an era where A24 has become synonymous with elevated genre films that blend social commentary with inventive storytelling, Alex Scharfman's directorial debut "Death of a Unicorn" stands as one of their most entertaining and accessible offerings yet. This darkly comic creature feature starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega delivers a perfect blend of 80s-style monster movie nostalgia, biting corporate satire, and surprisingly thrilling horror sequences.

Absolute Recomp claims to be "the best gym in America." But does it live up to the hype and is it worth your money? As someone who has visited over 200 gyms and developed a rating system based on equipment, maintenance, atmosphere, staff, and inclusivity, I put this luxury fitness center to the test. My friend CJ (who's training for a bodybuilding competition) and I spent two and a half hours hitting chest day at their Fort Worth location. Here's what we discovered.
