'Renfield' Review: Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult Odd Vampire Couple Comedy is all Blood No Bite

Nick Hoult paired with friggin’ Nic Cage as Dracula is Renfield’s main draw and strength.

‘80 For Brady’ Review: Tomlin, Fonda, Moreno, and Field Score a Touchdown in Sweet Football Comedy

'How to Build a Girl' Review

Beanie Feldstein has been killing it in the — sigh — titular role.

Bombshell Review

I get that most of the film takes place in a network office space, but that doesn’t mean it should bear the filmmaking style of an episode of The Office.

Rendy Jones 10/11/2019 Rendy Jones 10/11/2019

Jexi Review

A 2019 comedy from the writers who brought you The Hangover, whose screenplay talents are stuck in the fucking 2000s.

Greener Grass Review

This was by far the weirdest movie I saw during Sundance and upon rewatching… uh, yeah, it’s still the weirdest movie of 2019 and one of the funniest for that matter.

Marriage Story Review

Ugh, the more I type about this the more I tear up just thinking about it.

Corporate Animals Review

It doesn’t take too much for me to be entertained. It doesn’t take too much for me to laugh.

Jojo Rabbit Review

Just don't drop Jojo’s imaginary Adolf off at Foster’s Home ‘cause that would be awkward.

Rendy Jones 09/09/2019 Rendy Jones 09/09/2019

Knives Out Review

For someone who has specialized strongly in the sci-fi genre, Rian Johnson has a knack for comedy.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Review

A passionately hand-crafted love letter that doubles as a fun summer release.

Rendy Jones 07/12/2019 Rendy Jones 07/12/2019

Stuber Review

Just straight down-the-middle mediocre and forgettable.

Yesterday Review

🎶Hey Boyle, why is this so meh? Took a bland script, and made it duller 🎶

Late Night Review

You can feel the inspiration and Kaling’s career experiences through the screenplay.

The Dead Don't Die Review

Jim Jarmusch must’ve watched a lot of Tim & Eric.

'Yes, God, Yes' Review

Short, smart, and gets to the point in the span of 78 minutes. Bless Karen Maine.

Rendy Jones 04/29/2019 Rendy Jones 04/29/2019

'Standing Up, Falling Down' Review

You know a comedy is good when you can’t decipher whether the two leads are either ad-libbing or on script.

Little Review

You people in Hollywood really need to hire decent editors.

Sword of Trust Review

Sword of Trust is a short and simple movie, yet one of the most enjoyable features I’ve seen at SXSW.

Good Boys Review

I can’t believe Tremblay’s parents, or any of the other parents, said yes to this

A Madea Family Funeral Review

I feel like Tyler Perry may be the first filmmaker to create his own little cinematic universe and be so inconsistent with it.

Rendy Jones 02/13/2019 Rendy Jones 02/13/2019

Isn't It Romantic Review

There is a timeless touch to the story as well because the cliches it points out are forever in the genre, so the satire and relevancy never gets old.

Rendy Jones 02/08/2019 Rendy Jones 02/08/2019

What Men Want Review

If you want a comedy where most of the jokes are stemmed from ADR, then this is for you.

The Death of Dick Long Review

For a film with an immature title, The Death of Dick Long has to be one of the smartest and funniest comedies of the year.

Rendy Jones 02/02/2019 Rendy Jones 02/02/2019

Velvet Buzzsaw Review

The hybridization of genres is welcoming, but the execution (pun intended) is rather lackluster.
