‘Ubu Roi’ fails to deliver sense or substance, but comes through on laughs
Share: The ominous synth beat of Fever Ray’s “If I Had A Heart,” plays over darkness. Lights rise on a cartoonishly styled couple seated at opposite ends of a long dining table set with a feast of inflatable chicken. “Papa Turd,” lets out a long, thunderous fart then utters the first word of Alfred Jarry’s play “Ubu Roi”: “Merdre.” Shit, in French. But with an extra “r,” thrown in for silly spice. Papa Turd and his wife, Mama Turd, then quickly hatch a plan to …
“Folie à Deux”: A Franchise’s Killing Joke
Share: “Folie à Deux”, the sequel to the hit movie “Joker”, released in the United States this weekend. The sequel stars Joaquin Phoenix returning as Joker and newcomer Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, the eccentric girlfriend and partner in crime of the Joker, in a film that feels as dark and depressing as the original, and that seems to many fans an attempted money grab that no one asked for. When “Folie à Deux” was announced, the first idea discussed was the Joker meeting Quinn. …
‘Megalopolis’ is a crime against humanity, but watch it anyway
Share: Drugs are bad kids, but if you’re Francis Ford Coppola, you take them to come up with something as batshit insane as “Megalopolis.” I can barely even bring myself to call “Megalopolis” a film. It is truly its own beast. I wouldn’t argue with anyone who thinks that this is the biggest piece of shit to ever come out in the history of cinema. If someone went into the cinema expecting “Megalopolis” to be the next “Godfather,” then they would be sorely disappointed. And …
Colin Farrell’s ‘Penguin’ makes Cobblepot a charismatic criminal to root for
Share: Though it exists in the same universe as Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” HBO’s new show “The Penguin” starring Colin Farrell is very decidedly not a superhero show. Instead of Batman fighting bad guys, “The Penguin” focuses on the gritty underworld of Gotham city. In fact, it feels a bit more like an homage to “The Sopranos” than a comic book show. Colin Farrell’s performance (as well as the prosthetics) make him nearly unrecognizable. Instead of a handsome, charming Irishman, Farrell transforms into the power-hungry, …

I couldn’t stop bugging out watching ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’
Share: After 36 years, the juice is loose in the new sequel of Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice.” Bringing back Winona Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz as an adult to deal with her trauma of Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice while attempting to try and bond with her daughter Astrid Deetz portrayed by Jenna Ortega after a death in the family. To start off it was a good sigh of relief, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” didn’t tone itself down since nowadays a lot of movies and tv shows tend to do that …
