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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
