Review: A Hollywood star wants more time, but ‘The Substance’ doesn’t give her a reason

Film director Coralie Fargeat has a keen interest in the human posterior. Her film “The Substance,” which won at Cannes for its offbeat humor regarding an elderly Hollywood actress with a remarkable tolerance for self-inflicted pain, showcases more bottoms per minute than an ashtray of a chain smoker, making this even more impressive given the movie’s running time of nearly 2 hours and 30 minutes. Whether they are accentuated by spandex or swinging freely in the nude, each is captured by the camera with an intense desire, much like how a burger commercial craves its buns. It’s clear that in this horror film centered around body horror, a person’s value is solely as meat. With brave and fierce leads Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, who are willing to let the camera dissect them into pieces of flesh – lips, legs, hair, wrinkles, and yes, backsides – for a movie that prioritizes shock value over plot development, expect a generous helping of their blood and viscera as well.

Mr. Crocket climbs out of the TV to kidnap kids in spooky Huluween Original

Enthusiastically drawn to chilling tales akin to “The Ring” and other analog horror, I find myself eagerly anticipating the forthcoming horror movie on Hulu titled “Mr. Crocket”. Reminiscent of a malevolent take on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”, this film is set in a realm where Mr. Crocket, the star and host of a children’s TV show, has a hidden, sinister side. Unlike any friend you’ve ever known, Mr. Crocket enjoys emerging from the television to abduct children, and in doing so, he also murders their parents cruelly.

4 Marvel shows that definitely won’t be back for season 2

As a die-hard Marvel fan, I’ve noticed some changes in their game plan that are quite unusual for them. After a couple of box office disappointments in their almost two decades of dominance, Kevin Feige and the team have been making strategic moves to prevent future flops like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels from happening again in 2023. This new strategy involves reducing the number of releases each year and focusing more on projects that are bound to be hits.
