Comedy may be the hardest kind of movie to make, and it may also be the hardest kind of movie to discuss. It is perhaps more dependent on the individual tastes of its audience than any other genre, and with so many different flavors of humor in existence, there is a fairly strong chance that what one person finds funny, another hundred will find groan-inducing, if it stirs in them any emotion at all.

The horror renaissance keeps on delivering. It is a real pleasure to see the volume and variety of horror movies coming our way over the past year or so. Slashers, classic gothic, horror-comedies, supernatural spooktaculars — we're being treated to a genre buffet full of flavors, and I am loving every moment of it.

In the era of the "nepo baby," having famous parents is probably a sharper double-edged sword than ever before. Nowadays, if you are descended from someone rich, successful, or influential, there's no way people aren't finding out about it, no matter what surname you use or how much you try to do things independently.

It's been a while since I found myself so invested and emotionally affected by a movie as I was by Barron's Cove. It sometimes feels like the world and entertainment have grown stale, and that maybe being so engrossed in the movie business has blunted my senses. Horror is never scary, comedy is never funny.

A few months ago, I reviewed The Parenting, a sharp, witty, and very entertaining horror-comedy, and I examined the horror-comedy spectrum and how different movies position themselves at points throughout that spectrum. It usually makes for a very amusing blend of genres, with the horror and comedy balancing each other out well. I Don't Understand You is one of the most perplexing movies I have seen in a while.

I'm a sucker for those doomed road trip horror movies. A gang of friends, a pair of siblings, a couple on the brink of the next, or last, step in their relationship, loading up the van and seeing where the open road takes them, only to find themselves well and truly screwed when they run into something or someone they are not equipped to handle. It's such a great little setup that immediately taps into a sense of vulnerability.

After the success of the Fear Street trilogy in 2021, it's been a surprisingly long wait for more installments in the franchise. The nostalgia train is still chugging steadily down its tracks, and the horror genre has seen an immense resurgence into the mainstream in the past couple of years, with slashers seemingly hitting that sweet spot of the perfect blend of reminiscence and gore.

The teen slasher will never go out of style. Sure, the waves of cinematic trends always come and go, but for the horror genre, there is arguably no safer staple than what Roger Ebert dubbed the "Dead Teenager Movie." They just tick all the boxes.

The drama genre often gets a bad rap. As the one category that cannot be categorized, it feels like the place where all the movies that aren't funny enough to be comedies, exciting enough to be action, or scary enough to be horrors go to die. Or at least to be enjoyed at afternoon showings by wealthy retirees on a Tuesday. But while the genre may not always turn out the most iconic or block-busting movies, it offers a sacred home for stories about people to be told.
