Stress Positions 2024 Movie Review Trailer

Image
Filmmaker Theda Hammel takes a swipe at contemporary Brooklyn hipsters and gives frequent collaborator John Early his best screen role. Building on the promise of her short film “My Trip to Spain,” which screened at Sundance in 2022, filmmaker Theda Hammel returns to the festival with her first feature film, “Stress Positions.” Accompanied by her favorite collaborator and lead actor John Early, she brings the same sharp, wry humor and incisive parody of her generation, only this time, Hammel acts on a larger canvas, directs a larger cast, and tackles more themes and topics. Among other things, the movie could be the first really funny movie about the pandemic. Director: Theda Hammel Writers: Theda Hammel, Faheem Ali Stars: John Early, Qaher Harhash, Elizabeth Dement Set entirely over a few days in the summer of 2020, “Stress Positions” follows Terry Goon (Early) as he goes through a pretty stressful few weeks.

Villains Incorporated 2024 Movie Review Trailer

Image
Villains Inc. has three credited writers. There's director Jeremy Warner, Jason Gray and Matt Moen. The comedy is about three henchmen whose super-powered boss is murdered, and they must navigate life outside of serving an evil overlord. This is an ambitious elevator pitch for an independent production. Is this a case of too many cooks in the kitchen or are the filmmakers rising to the occasion? Beatrix (Mallory Everton), Cain (Jason Gray) and Harold (Colin Mochrie) have been working together for quite some time. But they accidentally kill their last boss, Winter General, just before he finally took out Captain Justice (Trey Warner). Now, the henchmen are misguided but, more importantly, they are short of money. To make ends meet, Beatrix decides to go to supervillain trials. If she succeeds, there is a cash prize. If she fails, she dies. Director: Jeremy Warner Writers: Jason Gray, Matt Moen, Jeremy Warner Stars: Mallory Everton, Colin Mochrie, Jason Gray Meanwhile, Cain and Harol

Spy x Family Code: White 2024 Movie Review Trailer

Image
Spy x Family Code: White elegantly combines his fun family spy adventures with a high-stakes cooking competition to prepare a flawed recipe. There are so many directions a SPY FAMILY x could go. The ongoing anime has a deeply versatile story structure that allows you to enjoy various missions so the series always feels fresh. Consequently, it's truly surprising to see Code: White function as a covert cooking anime film. Director: Kazuhiro Furuhashi Writers: Ichirô Ôkouchi, Tatsuya Endo Stars: Takuya Eguchi, Atsumi Tanezaki, Saori Hayami It's the kind of story audiences would expect to see in Food Wars! or the Toriko feature film, but not SPY x FAMILY. It's also an ambitious approach for the first SPY x FAMILY film that hedges its bets and is overly cautious about upsetting the status quo. Code: White is still rich in classic SPY x FAMILY elements, even if it amounts to an empty meal. Loid Forger has already thwarted international incidents, prevented assassinations, and mad

Sasquatch Sunset 2024 Movie Review Trailer

Image
 Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough play sasquatches in David and Nathan Zellner's extremely strange new serious film. During the first few minutes of Sasquatch Sunset, from directors Nathan and David Zellner, it's hard to believe this movie exists. Four sasquatches maneuver through the mountains, eat plants they find, get excited, play with animals, and basically just do sasquatch stuff. Directors: David Zellner, Nathan Zellner Writer: David Zellner Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek  Sasquatch Sunset almost acts as a test for the audience: dare you stick around to see if there's more to this than this quartet of furry monsters eating, shitting, and fighting in the woods? Is it just a joke repeated for 90 minutes or is there something deeper inside? Sasquatch Sunset follows the aforementioned group of sasquatches over the course of a year, as they wander and survive through mountains and forests, eating, defecating, and making bad decisions along th
