I wrote about an excellent sci-fi horror novel that is a near-perfect encapsulation of our current moment in history as we slide into technological dystopia.

My latest Blaxploitation review covers Car Wash. I hadn’t seen it before, but I think it’s one of the essential movies in the genre.

In lieu of a review of Spider-Man: Brand New day, I wrote about its odd treatment of the character the Punisher, hopefully in a way that wasn’t too obnoxiously nerdy.

I wrote about the latest Mario movie and how even though it doesn’t really make much sense, it might be the purest video game adaptation ever.

For this week’s Blaxploitation review, I looked at Drum, the sequel to Mandingo. It corrected some of the problems with its predecessor while providing the level of retribution that you want to see in a movie about slavery.
