Recently, I had metaphorically cast out a bunch of nets out into the world. This week, they all decided to come back at the same time, swelled with silvery little fish and leaving me feeling overwhelmed. So, I admit I don’t have much in the gas tank today, my friends. Please understand. Still, we persevere. Matinee Idol came out at the very tale end of the Golden Age, and the way it tries to stand on the heads of giants, or at least mount them at all, tells us that it is aware that th...

Looking around, it seems that so far, 2026 is just second verse, same as the first. Probably even more dire. Great. Maybe we should try and start this year of reviews with something fun, snarky and perhaps uplifting? Too bad that isn’t what we have on the docket for tonight. Instead of fun we have something else… We have twee. My goodness how I hate twee. Now, I suppose twee can be defined in many different ways....

As usual, the one real rule was that it had to be something we watched for the first time in 2025. Otherwise, it was a free for all. Let's begin! *** Best and Worst of 2025... BEST SCENE OF THE YEAR Flesh and Fire Read Original Review A witchy, arcane experience where a woman tends to herself sing a lit candle. It's also infuriatingly brief and apparently only a trailer for a bigger work we were never able to find. This is our new White Whale. If anyone can direct us to the full experience that is Flesh and Fire, please do. It has never left our minds since we saw it. We are bewitche d. Also, if there was an award for Best Use of a Candle of the Year, Flesh and Fire w...
