Wright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: The Fantastic Four: First StepsTHE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS MOVIE REVIEW In what seems to be fantasy wish fulfillment for fans who’ve been saying what they ACTUALLY want from a Fantastic Four movie, the MCU finally gets into the game with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Set on a parallel retro-futuristic Earth (don’t expect any ties to the current […]2025-07-2439 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: I Know What You Did Last SummerI KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER MOVIE REVIEW With the Scream franchise on temporary (but probably not VERY temporary) hiatus, Hollywood in their quest for continuing the trend of 90s nostalgia is forced to turn to some of the not-even-as-close-to-as-good horror franchises of the time. Naturally, you’d first go to the one by the […]2025-07-1733 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: EddingtonEDDINGTON MOVIE REVIEW No matter how much some of us may want it, Ari Aster seems to be done with horror for now. He certainly isn’t done with horrifying though. His latest film Eddington reteams him with Joaquin Phoenix, this time playing Joe Cross, the sheriff of the titular small town in New Mexico. When […]2025-07-1741 minWright Sulek Archives -Trash in the Can: Voyage of the Rock AliensTRASH IN THE CAN: VOYAGE OF THE ROCK ALIENS This week on Trash in the Can, infamous Golden Globe “winning” Pia Zadora leads a cast of 30-year-old youngsters grooving to an ALMOST good musical score, with chainsaw-wielding maniacs and teen idol Ruth Gordon! Come for the Jermaine Jackson cameo, and stay for our thoughts on […]2025-07-141h 40Wright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: SupermanSUPERMAN MOVIE REVIEW Most audiences no longer have a problem ‘believing a man can fly’ in movies. Now the challenge is, ‘believing anyone can make a Superman movie that brings us even half of the quality of the original Christopher Reeve film’. There certainly seems to be a lot of confidence, both at DC/Warner Brothers […]2025-07-091h 09Wright Sulek Archives -Jurassic World RebirthJURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH MOVIE REVIEW Seven of these Jurassic movies now. SEVEN. The hope was that after the terrible (but, of course, financially lucrative) last three entries, this new creative team led by director Gareth Edwards (who knows a thing or two about giant monsters) would rediscover what made that first Jurassic Park movie so […]2025-07-0150 minWright Sulek Archives -Digital Noise Episode 357: The Ep Added to the National Film Registry by the Library of CongressDIGITAL NOISE EPISODE 357: THE EP ADDED TO THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS No, not really, but we do have a TON of films to talk about this week that were added to the National Film Registry. So, ya know, really good. Wright and Chris have trouble keeping from over-gushing about […]2025-06-272h 50Wright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: Sorry, BabySORRY, BABY MOVIE REVIEW Most films that deal with overcoming trauma do it either as it being represented as a growing black gulf of evil (see at least half the horror films made in the last 5-10 years), or with a good deal of saccharine. The debut film from writer/director/star Eva Victor is something new. […]2025-06-2745 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: F1F1 MOVIE REVIEW In this day and age of trademarked products being made into gigantic Hollywood films, it’s at least a little surprising that Formula 1 Racing took this long to get into the act. At least since 2013’s Rush anyway, but never quite so proudly branded as F1 (and to a great deal, paid […]2025-06-2749 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: M3gan 2.0M3GAN 2.0 MOVIE REVIEW Although the 2022 horror film M3gan was certainly a hit, it left a lot to be desired. Straddling the gap between wanting to be a horror film and wanting to be a campy comedy with neither foot firmly planted made for a very uneven film. But one thing that did work […]2025-06-2643 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: 28 Years Later28 YEARS LATER MOVIE REVIEW With 28 Days Later‘s explosive success, Danny Boyle’s Oscar win with Slumdog Millionaire, and Alex Garland’s own film career, it’s not entirely surprising to see these filmmakers go back to the zombie well. 28 Years Later is the third film in the horror franchise and you guessed it, takes 28 […]2025-06-2036 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: MaterialistsMATERIALISTS MOVIE REVIEW Take one professional matchmaker for the rich and superficial (Dakota Johnson), one ex-boyfriend with all the looks and personality but no money (Chris Evans), and one absurdly rich dude who is that rare one that doesn’t seem to be a total schmuck (Pedro Pascal), and you get the love triangle that makes […]2025-06-1141 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: The Life of ChuckTHE LIFE OF CHUCK MOVIE REVIEW The latest Stephen King adaptation isn’t a horror movie, although there is an apocalypse underway and a LOT of existential dread in the first (or third, as marked) act. No, it’s a feel-good, tear-jerker, ‘enjoy your life because it doesn’t last forever’ inspirational film. It’s also told in reverse […]2025-06-0645 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: The Phoenician SchemeTHE PHOENICIAN SCHEME MOVIE REVIEW The thing about Wes Anderson films is, you’re either here for all of them, no matter what, or maybe just a few (probably early ones). His 2025 entry, The Phoenician Scheme, features (as usual) a metric ton of actors, many of them legendary. But the story tightly focuses on only […]2025-06-0643 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: Dangerous AnimalsDANGEROUS ANIMALS MOVIE REVIEW What’s scarier than being trapped on a boat with a serial killer?

The first spin-off is Ballerina, taking place between the films John Wick 3 and […]2025-06-0539 minWright Sulek Archives -Screener Squad: The Rehearsal Season 2THE REHEARSAL SEASON 2 TV REVIEW Once in a great while, a hero emerges from the shadows and shows the world that nothing is impossible.

While discussing this little injured cryptid creature the film centers around, it was […]2025-04-2340 minWright Sulek Archives -Highly Suspect Reviews: DropDROP MOVIE REVIEW Remember when everything was “Die Hard on a _____”? No? Ok, you may have been too young for that but trust me, it was incessant.
