Let Me Explain The Movie Hope To You Because You are Going to Need It

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 04:25:39 +0000

If you are even a little bit tired of the standard American alien invasion playbook, the marines, the countdown clock, the president giving a speech, I need you to go see Hope with an open mind before you read another word of this. It’s the new one from Na Hong-jin, the Korean director behind The Wailing, and it’s the most expensive Korean film ever made, and it uses that budget on something genuinely unusual, an alien invasion story told almost […]

Andrei Rublev Explained IMDB Top 250 Challenge

Taylor Holmes — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 05:11:18 +0000

Okay. Let’s do this. I’m about to start what might be the dumbest – or possibly the most rewarding thing I attempt on this site in the last 10 years. I am going to be watching every single film on the IMDB Top 250 list and writing about each one. I am going to do them in a random order… it’s going to be completely out of my control. In a word – fullon random. Why? Great question… I thought […]

Colony 2026 and That Crazy Ending Explained in Detail

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 04:23:11 +0000

I want to start by saying something that I think gets lost in a lot of the discourse around Colony: this is not Train to Busan. I know Yeon Sang-ho directed Train to Busan. I know you know that. But Colony is doing something fundamentally different from that film, and if you walk in expecting the same emotional architecture you are going to spend two hours being quietly confused about why this does not feel like that. Train to Busan […]

The Invite Movie Family Tree The Play The Film and Every Remake

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 02:08:08 +0000

Okay. So remember at the end of my Invite writeup when I said I was going to watch every single adaptation of this play that exists? Yeah, welp, so now, a project of mine for the next month is well underway. Well, I started doing the homework, and it turns out the assignment is way bigger than I thought it was. I figured there were maybe seven(?) versions of this thing floating around the world. There might actually be closer […]

The Little Drummer Girl Is The Best Show You Haven’t Watched Yet

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 11 May 2026 14:15:47 +0000

Let me tell you about the director first, because the director is everything here. Park Chan-wook? Old Boy? Possibly the greatest mindjob movie of all time? No? Just stop right there, don’t pass go, don’t collect $200. Go watch Old Boy, then come back and we can talk The Little Drummer Girl… or whatever else you’d like to discuss. You might also know Park Chan-wook from The Handmaiden? Though I doubt it if you haven’t seen Old Boy. It also […]

Closed Box Movie Exit 8 Recommendation and Ending Explained

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 04:09:10 +0000

I love the starkness and moral simplicity of horror. Not originally a horror fan, but over time, having familiarized myself with the themes, intricacies, and nuances of horror, I’ve come to really enjoy it. (Just as long as you keep midsommar far far away from me.) But normally, I’m a huge time travel guy. A closed box, indie film guy. And buzzword bingo? Exit 8 hits so many of my sweet spots perfectly that its mindblowing I didn’t short circuit […]

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Full Spoiler Walkthrough

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:13:23 +0000

First, I have to say, that this movie is a fitting end to the man, the myth and the legend that is Tommy Shelby. Peaky Blinders is one of my favorite television series of all time (probably only bested by my obsession with the German show Dark). Peaky Blinders is so full of texture, anti-heroes, and real villains, that the show always keeps you guessing as to where it’s going to go. But better than that? Is the glorious cinematography, […]

Spoiler Free – Catch Up With Peaky Blinders Before You Watch the Movie

Taylor Holmes — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 23:01:25 +0000

I literally just walked out of the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man movie in the theaters and I decided I wish I had remembered a few things of how the show, and specifically, season 6 went, so I could have been more clear on the movie as it started. So I decided I’d pull together a quick primer on the details that are most important going into the film… both to remind myself what the hell was going on with […]

Bugonia: A Complete Spoiler-Filled Breakdown of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Best Picture Nomination

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 16:33:11 +0000

MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING: This article contains complete spoilers for Bugonia, including the full plot and that absolutely devastating ending. If you haven’t seen it yet, stop reading immediately. I mean it. Come back after you’ve watched. Okay, here’s the thing about Yorgos Lanthimos—he’s not exactly known for making feel-good cinema. But Bugonia, his latest collaboration with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, might be the bleakest, most nihilistic film he’s ever made. And I’m including The Killing of a Sacred Deer […]
