Is ‘The Way Way Back’ the Best Coming of Age Movie in Years?
Some movies don’t age well for any number of reasons. The special effects, for example, look so clunky it’s hard to fall under the movie’s spell. Others boast themes that no longer apply to modern life. The 1984 charmer “Mr. Mom” falls into that category. Stay-at-home dads destroyed the movie’s premise. The 2014 dramedy “The …

Sundance 2024: Best of the Fest – 10 Favorites from the Mountains
The 2024 Sundance Film Festival has wrapped up after another invigorating 10-day in-person event held up in the Utah mountains, along with an online counterpart during only the second half. Now it's time to present our annual Best of the Fest list from the 2024 selection. I was able to catch a total of 51 films this year (my full list on Letterboxd), half of them at screenings in Park City & SLC, the other half virtual screenings. This is my 18th year covering Sundance, and this fest still has a special place in my heart. It was so nice to be back again. I am presenting one big list of my 10 favorite films - a mix of a few documentaries and narrative features. All 10 of these below are worth watching, and I highly recommend seeing them on the big screen whenever it's possible. Watching all of these with an audience really makes a difference. I also recorded a podcast talking about many of the Sundance films (good and bad). Below are my favorites, the films that connected ...

Official Trailer for Horror Sequel ‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey 2’
"It was as if the Earth itself was allowing this horror to rise up..." Jagged Edge Productions has revealed the main official trailer for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey 2, (or Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey II), the follow-up to the previous slasher horror involving the former Disney IP honey-loving bear and his friends. The current release date is March 2024, though it might shift once Jagged Edge figures out how to get this into more theaters. In Blood & Honey 2, Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger decide to head to the town of Ashdown to get revenge on Christopher Robin for revealing their existence. Even more bloody carnage when the gang shows up! The film stars Tallulah Evans, Scott Chambers as Christopher Robin, Ryan Oliva as Winnie-the-Pooh, and Peter DeSouza-Feighoney as Young Pooh. There's a rumor this sequel will open up the door to more public domain horror, "teasing upcoming Pinocchio, Bambi and Peter Pan-based horror movies." If you didn't watch the first one, don't worry, there's not much going on in either.

Freaky Trailer for Extra Weird ‘Frogman’ Found Footage Horror Movie
"I want the world to know the truth about Frogman..." 🐸 What is it! Where did it come from! Why so frog! Rue Morgue Magazine has revealed the main official trailer for an indie underground horror thriller film titled Frogman, created by filmmaker Anthony Cousins. This first premiered at last year's Telluride Horror Show Film Festival, and will be out to watch on VOD in March. If you're brave enough to encounter the Frogman! They're also releasing a special, limited edition green VHS copy to watch this month (order here). Frogman is a found footage indie horror following three friends who go in search of the Loveland Frogman, and quickly find out that he is more than just a local legend. The film stars Nathan Tymoshuk, Chelsey Grant, Benny Barrett, and Justen Jones. There's not many actual clear glimpses of the freaky Frogman in this trailer, but it does tease this film quite well. Reviews say it features "impressive creature effects. The more the humans invade the Frogman's turf, the more delightfully weird and gnarly things get." Sounds fun.

Funny Super Bowl Spot for ‘IF’ Movie w/ Ryan Reynolds & Randall Park
"It's about that friend that's there for them – unconditionally and always." Paramount unveiled a teaser for their Big Game TV spot for IF, written and directed by John Krasinski inbetween his other A Quiet Place movies. The first teaser trailer arrived in December, setting up the premise and introducing many of the characters. The film follows a young girl who goes through a difficult experience and then begins to see everyone's imaginary friends who have been left behind as their real-life friends have grown up. IF (which stands for "Imaginary Friend") stars Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, along with the voices of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr. and Steve Carell, including many more as the wonderfully unique characters that reflect the incredible power of a child's imagination. This amusing promo features Randall Park pretending to be Krasinski, complete with footage of him on the set acting like the director. Strange! But funny! With only about 30 secs of real footage from the movie - enjoy.
