From the classroom to the couch - a former teacher dives headfirst into the world of film.Occasionally insightful, but frequently full of existential dread and dry humour.

Dakota Fanning as Wendy
Jake Johnson as Jack
Cory Michael Smith as Chuck

Following a crew of professional shoplifters as they take aim at a ruthless fashion maven, the film blends crime-comedy chaos with Riley’s surrealist edge and sharp social satire.After opening SXSW 2026 ahead of its May 22 theatrical release from NEON, I Love Boosters arrives as one of the more intriguing American indie releases of the year.Cast of I Love Boosters:
Keke Palmer as Corvette
Naomi Ackie as Sade
Taylour Paige as Mariah
Poppy Liu as Jianpu
Demi Moore as Christie Smith

I LOVE BOOSTERS: Film Review | SXSW 2026

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come brings Grace back into another blood-soaked game, but this time the sequel opens the world up beyond the Le Domas family and turns survival into a larger battle over wealth, power, and control. In this Ready or Not 2 review, I break down how Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett build on the original film’s horror-comedy chaos, how the new sister dynamic with Kathryn Newton changes the emotional core, and whether the sequel earns its bigger scale.Premiering at SXSW 2026 before its March 20 theatrical release, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come stars Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, and Olivia Cheng. Here is my spoiler-free review and analysis of what works, what doesn’t, and whether this horror sequel is worth watching.Cast of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come:
Samara Weaving as Grace
Kathryn Newton as Faith
Sarah Michelle Gellar as Ursula Danforth
Shawn Hatosy as Titus Danforth
Néstor Carbonell as Ignacio El Caido
David Cronenberg as Chester Danforth
Elijah Wood as the Lawyer
Olivia Cheng as Wan Chen Xing
Daniel Beirne as Kip Danforth
Antony Hall as Wan Cheng FuMore from Points of Review
