Entrancing Short Anima Magia screens at Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 7!
by Emma Hackbarth
published 2025-09-02

An entrancing watch, Anima Magia by Al Nigrin has an opinion. Its rhythms of animal and fatal urges tell a tale of two witches coming into their own, transforming their power and pain into magical will. Images flicking and transferring to other images create a determinant effect of time’s unstoppable movement.

Immersive Short Prayer of the Sea screens at Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 7!

by Evelyn Reese
published 2025-09-01
Striking cinematography, compelling editing, and palpable emotions sprung to life by a sensational string quartet– this just begins to describe the incredibly placid, yet all consuming, Prayer of the Sea. Born from a dream, coming from the mind of the wonderfully talented composer and creator of the short film, Martin Gerigk, this immersive short explores the beautiful rawness of one passing away in a state of complete and utter peace– taking the universal fear out of an inescapable experience.

Lovely short Hearts of Stone screens at Fall 2025 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 7!

by Emma Hackbarth
published 2025-08-31
A fairytale of a social critique, Hearts of Stone is a sweet portrayal of isolation and connection in the modern world. Paula is a street artist who paints and poses herself as a statue and has a successful social media presence. She creates distance from the world to preserve the self she desires to be seen: frozen, beautiful, bronze.

New Release Review - "Eenie Meanie"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-08-30
For all the action heroines Hollywood has given us in recent decades, it's still a surprise to see a woman behind the wheel for a high-octane car chase. Notable exceptions include Diana Rigg relegating James Bond to a passenger in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Linda Hamilton's upmarket car thief in Black Moon Rising, but such characters are rarities. Hollywood seems to believe audiences will accept five foot nothing women taking down hulking Russian henchmen, but parallel parking is a step too far.

First Look Review - "Or Something"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-08-28
Kareem Rahma is best known for his viral web series 'Subway Takes', in which he interviews a mix of everyday New Yorkers and celebrities while riding the city's subway network. As co-writer and one of the two leads of director Jeffrey Scotti Schroeder's Or Something, Rahma brings the same sort of laidback energy to this work of fiction that made his web series so popular. The written dialogue is at times a little stilted, with the the two leads often talking at rather than with each other, but Rahma is an undeniably engaging screen presence, as is his co-writer and co-star Mary Neely.

New Release Review - "Night Always Comes"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler
published 2025-08-21
There comes a time in every British actress's career where they trade period frocks for black roots and henna tattoos to portray a member of the American working class. Vanessa Kirby's time for this rite of passage has arrived with Night Always Comes, which sees her reteam with The Crown director Benjamin Caron. Kirby may have left the palace but she's in a right royal mess in this film, which mashes together the "one crazy night" format of movies like After Hours and Collateral with an Uncut Gems/Small World of Sammy Lee-esque story of a desperate attempt to gather a sum of money in a limited window.
