New Release Review - "Sew Torn"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-17

Movies about super intelligent characters often fail to convince because they're clearly not made by super intelligent filmmakers who possess the ability to think as smartly as their fictional creations. Sew Torn is a comic thriller about a very smart and resourceful young woman, and it works because its first time writer/director, Freddy Macdonald, is clearly a mad genius himself. It's not often I find myself thinking "that's something I haven't seen before" while watching a new movie, but it's a thought that crossed my mind at several points in Macdonald's debut, which is an expansion of his 2019 short of the same name.



New Release Review - "Final Destination Bloodlines"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-15

Watching a Final Destination movie is a lot like being a parent of a toddler for 90 minutes (or 110 minutes, as is the case with this latest instalment). "Don't put that in your mouth." "You'll put your eye out!" "Mind you don't step on that..." The genius of the franchise is that it doesn't have a physical villain. Death itself is the antagonist. Many characters die in the sort of manner that would see them nominated for a Darwin Award but others succumb despite doing their best to avoid trouble. The message is clear: you can't cheat death.



New Release Review - "The Univited"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-10

Just a week ago while reviewing the Deborah Levy adaptation Swimming Home I noted how so many recent movies were following the template set down by Jean Renoir in his 1932 satire Boudu Saved from Drowning, that of a wealthy family being shaken up by the arrival of an outsider. First time writer/director Nadia Conners is the latest filmmaker to channel Renoir with her Hollywood satire The Uninvited.





New Release Review - "Another Simple Favor"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-08

2018's A Simple Favor saw Paul Feig, a director best known for female-centred comedies like Bridesmaids, The Heat and the Ghostbusters reboot, adapt a straight-faced mystery novel by author Darcey Bell. The result was an unmitigated disaster, with Feig completely out of his depth in the territory of Hitchcock and de Palma. It had a promising opening act, leaning into the comic chemistry of its leading ladies Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick before taking an about turn into hackneyed thriller territory, with a particular eye-rolling plot twist.



NJ Filmmaker to Have World Premiere of "The Cineplex" TV Pilot at 2025 Big Apple Film Festival

by Gary Wien
published 2025-05-06

(NEW YORK, NY) -- New Jersey filmmaker Alan Del Tufo will have the World Premiere of his independently produced TV pilot, The Cineplex, at the 2025 Big Apple Film Festival on Monday, May 12, 2025. The Cineplex is about a quirky staff at a local movie theater that is forced to contend with a by the book, corporate takeover.



First Look Review - "Neighborhood Watch"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-05-02

Director Duncan Skiles, whose 2018 thriller The Clovehitch Killer has developed something of a cult following in recent years, returns with Neighborhood Watch. Skiles' latest has the sort of setup that fuelled many a comic thriller back in the '80s. It's a classic buddy movie, pairing two mismatched misfits for an adventure that plunges them into their city's criminal underworld. 40 years ago it would have paired a seasoned veteran like Nick Nolte or James Woods with a rising comic star like Eddie Murphy or Michael J. Fox. It also likely would have struck a more natural balance between its comedy and its action, something Skiles and writer Sean Farley never quite pull off here.



New Release Review - "The Accountant 2"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-04-29

2016's The Accountant performed modestly at the box office yet somehow became the most rented title on US VOD platforms of 2017. Despite such unlikely returns, it has taken almost a decade for a sequel to surface, with original director Gavin O'Connor and writer Bill Dubuque back on board. Despite having so much time to refine this, O'Connor and Dubuque's sequel plays like it was rushed to market, with a script desperately in need of a couple more rewrites and baggy pacing that cries out for some judicious editing.
