    I mean, we already knew lebron james couldn't act though, right?




    Overtly deciding to make their latest film one of the most shameless cash grabs in Hollywood history, Warner Bros. never once tries to hide its Easter eggs in Space Jam: A New Legacy. In this ostensible follow-up to the 1996 live-action/animation crossover, LeBron James teams up with Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes to challenge an evil computer program to…

    ★★★

    Twizard Rating: 64


    I consider myself a big Star Wars fan. George Lucas’ Original Trilogy was on constant repeat in our house growing up. And when he released the Prequel Trilogy years later, along with the first two installments of Disney’s post-Lucas “final” sequel trilogy, I became an apologist for the films at a time when other disenchanted fans became vocal about their resentment. Sometimes I could see where they were coming from, but I love this film universe too much…

    The truth will set you free but a good lie will make you a new man.

    A Page of Madness

    ★★★★½

    It’s easy to daydream when watching a movie with no dialogue, especially if that movie is almost 100 years old. But A Page of Madness punctuates its macabre, erratic narrative with imagery and filmmaking tricks that grab our attention and make us want to know more, even if the language barrier makes it nearly impossible.

    Following a guilt-stricken man who secretly gets a job at an insane asylum so he can be closer to his wife. She no longer knows…

    The Zone of Interest

    ★★★★½

    ***Originally published at thetwizard.com/2024/03/14/the-zone-of-interest-2023-movie-reviea/


    It’s a trend in contemporary cinema to reveal to the audience the perspective of the villain in order to garner sympathy for them. But what if those villains were real people and their atrocious sins were still felt by us in today’s world? That’s the unique take that drives Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest, which doesn’t only use a family of Nazis as its protagonists but shows us their evils through implication and frank discussion.…

    I'm Gonna Git You Sucka

    ★★★½

    Not quite as astute as Hollywood Shuffle nor as snappy as Airplane! or Naked Gun, this blaxploitation spoof is unique in that it actually tries to tell an original story. It only falters when it can’t find the balance between that and its comedy. What sets the Wayans brothers' debut apart from its farcical predecessors is that if you were to drop in at any moment, you could reasonably believe it were a normal movie. But then you watch a…
