‘Honey Don’t!’ Review: A Rare Swing and Miss From a Coen Picture

Following their silly sex crime comedy Drive Away Dolls, Ethan Cohen and Tricia Cooke are reteaming for Honey Don’t!, another raunchy and light-toned comedy and the second of their lesbian B-movie trilogy that instead tries to dip its toes more into the noir and mystery of it all.

‘The Naked Gun’ (2025) is A Mixed but Needed Spoof Comeback

The Naked Gun (2025) features Liam Neeson in another career reinvention. Similar to Taken in the late 2000s, this comedic reboot pushes the iconic actor into a new zone, with the Oscar nominee (and action star) indulging in excessive puns and bathroom humor. While it’s amusing to see a distinguished presence dive into absurdity, the reboot can’t quite reach its full

‘Eddington’ Review: Ari Aster Made A ‘South Park’ Movie

Eddington wears the skin of a Coen Brothers movie while utilizing the comedic mechanics of a South Park episode. The film plays everything serious while featuring solid performances from talents like Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix. It has the window dressing of rich Coen Brothers thrillers like Blood Simple and No Country for Old Men. Yet, the material is wildly satirical in
