CHATTANOOGA FILM FESTIVAL 2025: House of Ashes (2024)
Meat Friend, a short that director and co-writer (with Steve Johanson) Izzy Lee made, is one of the best short films I’ve seen, so I was excited about this feature. Mia (Fayna Sanchez) has lost her husband and her baby, which has led to her being jailed in her home, as she lives in a […]
CHATTANOOGA FILM FESTIVAL 2025: In the Mouth (2025)
I know that you don’t have to love every protagonist in every film, but I somehow found myself watching multiple films at the Chattanooga Film Festival, where each lead made me want to rage-quit the movie. That’s not fair to the filmmaker or the film, so I stuck it out each time. This would be […]

Sizzlin’ Summer of Side-Splitters 2025: Nine Lives (2016)
June 23-29 Cat Week: Cats! They’re earth’s funniest creatures (sorry chimps, you’re psychos). I saw this at the drive-in, a second feature with something else that I can’t remember, but you don’t forget a movie in which a not far from being cancelled Kevin Spacey plays Tom Brand, a workaholic tycoon who becomes a cat. […]
JUNESPLOITATION: Crime Busters (1977)
June 26: Junesploitation’s topic of the day — as suggested by F This Movie— is Eurosploitation! I due superpiedi quasi piatti (The Two Almost Flat Superfeet) puts Terence Hill and Bud Spencer together again (it is the tenth of seventeen movies they would be in together) and sends them to Miami. In this film, they’re Matt […]
