Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
Now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
After being thrown a bone by Warner being able to bring his version of “Justice League,” he’s announced that these versions of his alleged “Star Wars Killers” known as “Rebel Moon” as more or less unofficial. They’re still movies in a sense, but not in his mind. He’s allegedly planning to release Director’s Cuts for both films, which includes potentially longer scenes and alternate takes on various scenes. So what is even the point of this whole shebang? Snyder is less an auteur and feels so much more like a brand manager trying to figure out an algorithm for a great movie–and he can’t quite synthesize the formula. He seems to base so much of his films around focus groups and buzz rather than instinct which make him such a terrible filmmaker through and through.
Monolith (2022) [Female Filmmaker Friday]

A newly unemployed journalist starts a podcast and investigates large stones that have been showing up suddenly in random people’s lives.
BOB (2022)
Inspired by a true story, Drew Bierut’s romance comedy is one of the most charming tales of fate and random scenarios I’ve seen in a long time. Although the movie posits itself as this bizarre concept, it amounts to a surprisingly funny, engaging and warm romance comedy that explores how sometimes we can end up meeting our perfect person in the most unlikely places. Everything about “Bob” is so well conducted from the direction, top notch performances, and ace comic timing, I just loved it.
Hunting for the Hag (2023)
A small group of friends head out to investigate a witch known as The Hawthorne Hag in an effort to catch her on camera.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood & Honey II (2024)
In the sequel, the gang is all here, well almost. Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger are stalking and killing in the 100 Acres Woods.
Sorceress of Suburbia (2011)
Director Fred Olen Ray has had one of the weirdest movie careers I’ve ever seen from any director. It’s not many filmmakers that can ride the tides of various trends creating softcore porn for basic cable, erotic thriller, cheapy horror movies, and then goofy Hallmark Channel Christmas movies in one career. Fred Olen Ray gets shit done, I guess, and “Sorceress of Suburbia” is one of his many forays in to the porn sub-genre.
