Review of Masters of the Universe, a film that has some fun here and there, but is too hung up on self-deprecatory humor to be consistently funny and too satisfied with its gay subtext to ever break the barriers of its Saturday morning cartoon origins.

RIP Gene Shalit, an alliteration fiend of a film critic, referring to Ishtar as "ish-terrible."
I finally saw Backrooms, and it's an astounding horror film that taps into the distortion of memory and the dangers of nostalgia, while still being one of the creepiest nightmare-movie locations.

Video review of Masters of the Universe (2026), an absurd fantasy based on a toy that tries a little too hard for jokes and too little with its themes.
