Movie Review: ‘Obsession’

By Vincent Volcano, retired pyromaniac of pathos and cardiganed curmudgeon of Hellwood. Fiery red scarf on, bile warmed to a simmer. Let’s strike the match: Obsession is another entry in the ever-expanding subgenre I call Careful-What-You-Wish-For-But-Also-Please-Discuss-Your-Feelings. Writer-director Curry Barker takes a dollar-store hex stick—the “One Wish Willow”—and waves it over a shy boy named Bear

Movie Review: ‘Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)’

By Vincent Volcano, retired Hellwood firebrand in a scarf so hot it has its own SAG card. Initial Descent James Cameron has finally discovered the genre he always wanted to conquer: the $65 million close-up.

TV Review: ‘Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord’

By Vincent Volcano, retired Hellwood arsonist of emotions, scarf blazing and patience extinguished. Flames Fade, but Classics Burn Forever! Premise check: the galaxy far, far away has now circled so many times it’s dizzy, and Disney has decided the one thing we’ve been missing is more Maul—specifically “interim manager of crime” Maul, starring in an

Movie Review: ‘Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come’

By Vincent Volcano, retired scourge of Hellwood and scarf enthusiast. Flames Fade, but Classics Burn Forever! Let’s begin with a confession: I adored the original Ready or Not. It had the hand-built mischief of a well-rigged pyrotechnic—sharp timing, character beats that bled, and practical splatter with a satirical aftertaste. Now Radio Silence returns with Ready
