Movie Curiosities: Marty Supreme
December 27, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Longtime readers will know that I’m no fan of the Safdie Brothers. I’ve said for years that Uncut Gems is overrated bullshit, and I’ve never been the least bit tempted to revisit Good Time. That said, I could at least respect them. For better or worse, the Safdies full-on commit to making bold and interesting movies about awful human beings. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: The Housemaid
December 22, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
You know what Sydney Sweeney and Colleen Hoover have in common? All of their movies are massive failures in one way or another, yet they keep on making more. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities — Avatar: Fire and Ash

I thought I had this franchise all figured out. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Dust Bunny
December 16, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Dust Bunny comes to us from writer/director/producer Bryan Fuller. Watching the film, it’s abundantly clear that this came from the same man who was responsible for both “Pushing Daisies” and “Hannibal”. It’s also painfully obvious that this is Fuller’s first attempt at a feature film. Read the rest of this entry →

What… the ever-loving… candy-coated… holly-jolly fuck… happened here? Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Fackham Hall
December 11, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
A while back, I finally sat down to watch Dracula: Dead and Loving It. I was curious to see the dud that effectively ended the legendary filmmaking career of Mel Brooks, and see what made it so famously inferior. Well, for those who’ve never seen it (which is probably most of you, I’d wager), I can tell you why. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Hamnet
December 8, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
It’s nothing short of tragic that for all of Shakespeare’s brilliant work and his incalculable impact on worldwide culture, we know precious little about him personally. Not that it’s anyone’s fault — Shakespeare was alive before “biography” was a word in the English language. At the time, there was no assumption that anyone would care about the life and times of anyone outside the royal family. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities — Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
December 6, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
Spinal Tap needs no introduction. We all know the movie, we know the music and the jokes, we know the huge impact it had in the world of cinema, music, and satire in general. But here’s something you probably didn’t know: The creators of Spinal Tap got screwed out of their royalties. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Red Sonja (2025)
December 3, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
I know. I’m as surprised as you are that this movie actually got completed and released. And yet, after fifteen years in development, the film was shot in 2022 and locked in October 2023. Two years later, the film got a theatrical release that began and ended on August 13th of 2025 before getting dumped straight to video. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Zootopia 2
December 2, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
A little while ago, Disney released a teaser for their upcoming live-action remake of Moana. Less than a year after the movie’s botched sequel. And I remember thinking “This is what happens when a studio gets a massively beloved box office hit that was never built to be a franchise.”
And now we have another one. Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Wake Up Dead Man
November 28, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
The Knives Out franchise is a singular Hollywood miracle: A mid-budget blockbuster franchise that brings in a sprawling variety of A-list talent and delivers consistent quality, yet each entry is so radically different that we never know what we’re getting. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything else quite like it, aside from the John Wick movies (not counting Ballerina, of course). Read the rest of this entry →
Movie Curiosities: Eternity
November 27, 2025 in Blogs, Curiosity Inc.
In case the title wasn’t enough to tip you off, Eternity takes place in the afterlife. Which means that huge chunks of the plot and premise are heavily dependent on the world-building and the mechanics of how life after death works in this picture. In turn, this means that the plot and premise will only really be as strong as the rules and how consistent, compelling, or arbitrary they are. So let’s get to it, shall we?
