PRIMATE Review – CHIMPOCALYPSE NOW!
Back at last fall’s Fantastic Fest, I had the opportunity to see Primate at the 2025 Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas. It was the opening festival film. During the Q&A, director Johannes Roberts apologized for making RESIDENT EVIL: WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY. It raises my suspicions that studio shenanigans must have happened in the making of […]

SxSW Reaction By Antonio – MOVIEPASS, MOVIECRASH
Editor’s note: This reaction is in addition to Jason’s reaction to the excellent documentary MOVIEPASS, MOVIECRASH which you can read HERE. Since Antonio’s reaction is a much more personal and as someone who had a MoviePass subscription (this was never available in Canada), we wanted to feature it in an individual article. Remember that short […]
SxSW Reaction: PLASTIC PEOPLE
Another documentary from this year’s South By Southwest that had people really talking was the Canadian doc PLASTIC PEOPLE. Both Antonio and myself got to see it (myself ahead of the festival and Antonio went to a screening) and I also had many fest-goers recommend it after seeing the shows while in Austin. About: Are […]
SxSW Reaction – NEVER LOOK AWAY
SxSW unoficially “opened” with the documentary NEVER LOOK AWAY, which screened hours before the opening night movie ROAD HOUSE! This was quite unusual for the festival which usually doesn’t start screenings until later in the evening, but it was great for us to get a movie in before the Headliners! We joined Lawless as well […]
SxSW Reaction – STORMY
I had the great opportunity to attend the world premiere of Stormy, a new documentary from Peacock. It is directed by Sarah Gibson (Britney Vs. Spears) and produced by Judd Apatow, based on the life of Stormy Daniels and the chaotic turn her life took after it came out that she had sex with former […]
THE IRON CLAW Review – Get Your Von Erichs Out
THE IRON CLAW takes place in a different era of wrestling than what you are familiar with today. At that moment the WWE was not yet the global wrestling powerhouse. They were still known as the WWWF and it’s just a territorial promotion in most of New England and New York, and this takes place mostly […]
SxSW Midnighters Reactions: TALK TO ME & LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
Both Antonio and myself were in attendance at the legendary Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar location, a cinema that has left a BIG impact on my life as not only the home to many SxSW and Fantastic Fests but also a world class cinema with top notch projection and sound AND a terrific food menu of […]
SxSW Reaction: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS – HONOR AMONG THIEVES
The opening night of SxSW was the World Premiere of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS – HONOR AMONG THEIVES and both Antonio and myself were there! It was exciting to see a big new movie in a theatre with over 1100 people, with Antonio near the front and yours truly sitting in the balcony towards the top, […]
Fantastic Fest 2022: SMILE & A WOUNDED FAWN
It’s the first day of Fantastic Fest, It was wonderful seeing many faces I haven’t seen since the last festival before the pandemic. We had an opening party with Goth Marching band Itchy-O The 57 member band with drummers, guitar players, Dancing tigers, floats, and confetti cannons. We also had cocktail serving robots brought to […]
Fantasia Review – THE BREACH
The first movie I saw at this summer’s Fantasia Film Festival was THE BREACH, a body horror film with dash of Lovecraft elements. It’s the second feature from Rue Morgue president Rodrigo Gudino and executive produced by Slash from Guns N’ Roses, who also provides some music! It’s a film adaptation of the Audible original […]
Fantasia Review – BABY ASSASSINS
Directed by Hugo Sakamoto Baby Assassins, directed by Hugo Sakamoto, is a fun Japanese Action comedy that I got to check out during the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. It has good action scenes but the best part of the film are the comedy sequences that is full of laughter and guts. The film is […]
BULLET TRAIN Mini Review – This Train Won’t Stop
Bullet Train is the type of movie I like, a film that takes place on a single night. I love that feeling that you can feel the character’s desperation of getting out of their situation before dawn breaks. A good film with a plethora of characters with different stories that all have led them to […]
SxSW Review – I LOVE MY DAD
Here we have both our Managing Editor Jason Whyte along with Austin-based Antonio Quintero review I LOVE MY DAD which was an award winner at SxSW last week. Anyone who has questioned someone that they meet online is a very normal feeling and attitude. You likely know the term “catfish” when someone dupes another into […]
