  • '28 Years Later' is a Challenging and Bold Sequel

    1 week ago | thecosmiccircus.com | John Dotson

    Share this with a friend! 28 Years Later is the strangest sequel in years. The original was gritty, dark, and had a low-quality aesthetic that added to the horror. The long-awaited sequel is far from conventional and takes numerous artistic swings. The world is lighter, the vision is more humorous, and there is a strange, heartwarming nature to the world. 28 Years Later has more in common with Sunshine than it does with its predecessor.

  • 'The Matrix' in Shared Reality at Cosm (Dallas, TX)

    2 weeks ago | thecosmiccircus.com | John Dotson

    Share this with a friend! The year was 1999, and my father came into my bedroom to tell me about a trailer for a movie, “We have to see,” he exclaimed. It had an intriguing title: The Matrix. Regardless of the film’s quality, a studio or director could not ask for a slicker movie title than The Matrix.

  • An Imperfect but Satisfying 'John Wick' Spin-off

    3 weeks ago | thecosmiccircus.com | John Dotson

    From the World of John Wick: Ballerina has faced considerable confusion in recent weeks, primarily due to a puzzling embargo that instructed influencers to share only positive reactions. The embargo leak went viral, sparking concern regarding the film’s quality. The resulting controversy and fears were difficult to ignore, especially since the spin-off television show The Continental also received a lukewarm reception. Why implement an embargo that limits negativity?

  • 'The Life of Chuck' is a Cinematic Antidepressant

    3 weeks ago | thecosmiccircus.com | John Dotson

    Share this with a friend! The Life of Chuck sees Mike Flanagan take a step outside the box of horror films. The writer and director already has a massive winning streak, having created fantastic works such as The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Gerald’s Game, and Doctor Sleep. Now, the filmmaker takes on a much more sentimental story from Stephen King—and it’s an astonishing piece of work.

  • Paul Rudd Thinks Tim Robinson Should Leave

    1 month ago | thecosmiccircus.com | John Dotson

    Share this with a friend! Friendship is about a man who takes the concept of friendship too far. In the artistic style of Tim Robinson, this is the perfect role for a performer of his talents. Robinson has made a career of crafting unbelievable skits around characters who increasingly defy the odds of inappropriate behavior, such as a man who denies driving his hot dog-shaped car into a store while wearing a hot dog outfit.
