BUFFET INFINITY Review: They've Got The Sauce
Simon Glassman’s Buffet Infinity is one of those movies that defies categorization and can’t be easily pigeonholed. Technically, it’s a found-footage movie; but it’s also, in a way, a screenlife movie. But then again, it’s gloriously retro and ignores...
CITY WIDE FEVER Review: Not Really a Giallo Homage, And That's Ok
Josh Heaps’ City Wide Fever is a real oddity. On the surface, it’s a small DIY thriller that looks shot on the cheap, which already narrows down its appeal. But if you get on its wavelength over the course of its very brief...

Screen Anarchists On INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY
It seemed like a joke when the news broke that Harrison Ford, at the time almost 80 years old, would take up the hat and whip for another turn as the intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones. But lo-and-behold, there it...
ScreenAnarchy's Top 10 Films Of The First Half Of 2023

IRREVERSIBLE: STRAIGHT CUT Review: Gaspar Noe Goes Back To The Well
French-Argentine filmmaker Gaspar Noe needs no introduction; he’s one of the most notorious and controversial directors currently active. In fact, he and fellow hellraiser Lars von Trier probably have a running contest going to see who can push the audience’s...
Review: OPERATION FORTUNE: RUSE DE GUERRE, Guy Ritchie's Bond Audition Tape
If you’ve ever wondered how Guy Ritchie’s “London Underground” style would mesh with the suave and debonair world of 007, then wonder no more. The awkwardly-named Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre -- still far more intriguing than the original Five...
ScreenAnarchy's Top 10 Films Of 2022

ScreenAnarchy's Top 10 Films Of The First Half Of 2022

Unhuman is the latest low-budget horror film from the prolific Jason Blum and Blumhouse, and at first glance, there’s nothing particularly innovative about it. After all, there’s only so much you can do with zombie movies when that subgenre’s been...
Review: BULL, Revenge From Across the Pond
Revenge movies can come in two flavors: a balls-out, action-filled romp, or a low-key slow-burn with quick flashes of violence. Bull, from director Paul Andrew Williams, is closer to the latter, a British take on a formula that is miles...
