Let's Love: Movie Review




A rom-com premise that goes nowhere.
Let’s Love has a great premise: the cast and filmmakers of a once popular romantic comedy have reunited in Wales for a 10-year anniversary fan convention. But when they arrive they discover there was a scheduling problem and a lack of interest problem, no tickets were sold and the event no longer exists. They want to talk to the man in charge, Jerry, the producer who works for the studio, but Jerry won’t be there for a few more days.   2026

Directed by: Jamie Adams

Screenplay by: Jamie Adams

Starring: Malin Akerman, Josh Hutcherson, Jess Weixler, and Martin Freeman

Tuner: Movie Review




Capitalism and consumerism, trauma and redemption, and Leo Woodall in a career-best performance.
Tuner is a smash hit. And I hope that sentence remains true in the box office sense, it deserves to and has the potential to bring audiences to the theater. With an original story and thoroughly entertaining (and unique) characters, Tuner quietly (and sometimes very loudly) packs a punch. It touches on capitalism and consumerism, trauma and redemption, and it doesn’t need to go deeper because it has a full plot and confidence in its complete approach.   2025

Directed by: Daniel Roher

Screenplay by: Daniel Roher, Robert Ramsey

Starring: Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, and Havana Rose Liu

At the Place of Ghosts: Movie Review




Real trauma, supernatural beliefs, beautifully realized.
Fantasy horror movies can be a tough sell, mostly because it’s nonsense by definition, but each now and then one comes along because it makes it about something else. The fantasy elements are rooted in real beliefs, and the horror elements are just how it’s presented, leaving you with a rather compelling story steeped in atmosphere and indigenous mythology.   2025
