Good Film Hunting

Hungry has a wonderfully simple sales pitch—a vacation, a swamp, and several thousand pounds of territorial meat that absolutely did not consent to being part of the tour. This week, we wade into Hungry, the creature feature written and directed by James Nunn. When a boatload of tourists becomes stranded deep in the Louisiana bayou, their sightseeing excursion turns into a survival mission against a rampaging hippopotamus. Does this beastly B-movie deliver a satisfying feeding frenzy, or will it leave creature-feature fans as hungry hungry hippos?

BLIND RANKING — How Bad Could This Possibly Go?

Five movies. Five ranking spots. And absolutely no idea what movie is coming next.

In Blind Ranking, Gary and Andy take turns choosing five movies they know the other person likes. The catch? Each movie is revealed one at a time, and it has to be permanently placed somewhere from #1 to #5 before the next movie is revealed.

Put a favorite at #2 too early? Too bad.

Save the #1 spot for something better that never comes? That’s on you.

This week, we ditch the stunt doubles, reinforce the drywall, and make sure nobody left a hammer within reach as we dive into The Furious, director Kenji Tanigaki’s gloriously excessive martial-arts bruiser starring Xie Miao, Joe Taslim, and Yang Enyou. When mute handyman’s daughter is abducted by a trafficking ring, he crosses paths with journalist Navin, whose own wife has disappeared while investigating the same criminals, and the two men begin working their way through an increasingly unfortunate supply of henchmen. The plot may be simple, but the fists are running on overtime. Does this film punch its...

This week we’re traveling back to 2007, tuning up a battered guitar, wheeling a broken vacuum through Dublin, and discovering how much can change when two strangers find the right chord. Written and directed by John Carney, Once stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová as an Irish busker and a Czech immigrant whose chance meeting becomes an intensely personal songwriting partnership. Did this modest little melody still strike an emotional chord, or is it barely worth watching… Once?

This week we are rolling in like a stolen Chevy with a country song on the radio and bad decisions riding shotgun as we discuss Carolina Caroline, directed by Adam Carter Rehmeier and starring Samara Weaving, Kyle Gallner, and Kyra Sedgwick. The film follows a small-town woman who falls in with a charismatic con man, turning a restless escape fantasy into a romantic crime spree across the American South. Does this lovers-on-the-run story steal hearts, or does it forget the cash on the counter?

This week, we open the files on Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s return to extraterrestrial territory, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, and Colin Firth. When a Kansas City meteorologist and a cybersecurity whistleblower become central to exposing proof of non-human life, they are forced into a frantic race against a private organization determined to keep humanity in the dark. Is Disclosure Day worth watching or is this a close encounter of the worst kind?

This week, we RSVP to the world’s least relaxing destination wedding as we dive into The Bay, the new survival thriller written and directed by Phil Volken and starring Francesca Eastwood. When two longtime friends take a shark-feeding excursion during a wedding trip to Thailand, their tour boat is crippled inside a remote tiger shark sanctuary leaving them trapped between sinking wreckage, increasingly desperate people, and several locals with far too many teeth. Did The Bay give us a thriller worth sinking our teeth into or did we just swim to shore? I mean, it’s literally right ther...

What do you get when you combine human infatuation with Shark Week with a classic gothic novel from Robert Louis Stevenson? Well, you could get an overly confusing excuse to record people who were likely cast from pulling randos from the street, handing them a script clearly penned in a fever dream, shoving them in front of the camera and then adding a grain filter to pretend it’s film. Turns out that is exactly what you get with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark, the 2025 horror with a budget so low that it looks like it was funded from a...

It’s SHARK WEEK, and we’re fastening our seatbelts, ignoring the flotation-device demonstration, and discovering that the in-flight meal is apparently us. Deep Water, directed by Renny Harlin and starring Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, and Angus Sampson, follows the survivors of an LA-to-Shanghai flight forced down in the Pacific where escaping the wreckage only lands them on the menu for a school of unusually motivated sharks. Harlin already gave us genetically enhanced aquatic chaos with Deep Blue Sea, but does this return trip have enough bite to justify another plunge, or is Deep Water a little shallow for thes...

Tuning a piano is already a delicate art, but tuning your ear to a life of crime? That’s where things get a little sharp. This week we unlock Tuner, directed by Daniel Roher and starring Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, and Havana Rose Liu. Woodall plays Niki White, a gifted piano tuner whose heightened hearing makes him unusually good at his job — until criminals realize the same skill might also make him dangerously good at cracking safes. Does Tuner hit the perfect note, or does this thriller fall a little flat?

This week we sine our pitty and belt-whip our way into Pootie Tang, the 2001 comedy written and directed by Louis C.K., starring Lance Crouther, Chris Rock, and Wanda Sykes. Born from a sketch on The Chris Rock Show, the film follows Pootie Tang, a smooth-walking, nonsense-speaking folk hero who takes on an evil corporation trying to push cigarettes, booze, fast food, and general dirty-dog behavior onto kids. It flopped hard in theaters, baffled critics, and somehow kept whispering “wa-da-tah” into pop culture’s ear for decades. Does Pootie Tang get too cool for its own words, or is this r...

Some songs come from the heart. Some come from the pain. And some, apparently, come from standing a little too close to Paul Rudd when he’s working through his feelings. This week, we tune up for Power Ballad, the new John Carney film starring Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, and Havana Rose Liu, about a washed-out musician whose original song becomes the comeback anthem for a fading pop star who may have skipped one very important step: giving credit. So does Power Ballad hit that perfect chorus of comedy, heartbreak, and musical revenge, or did this one just lip-sync it...

This week we are engulfed by The Mist, Frank Darabont's 2007 creature-feature turned existential gut-punch, starring Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, and Laurie Holden, based on Stephen King's novella. After a violent storm, a mysterious mist traps survivors inside a Maine grocery store, where the danger outside may be nothing compared to the fear growing within. The Mist arrived in theaters to mixed fanfare, was overshadowed at the box office, and then quietly became one of the most passionately defended genre films of the 2000s. Are we card-carrying members of the cult or did we find that the fog of...

This week we check into Hokum (written and directed by Damian McCarthy), where the concierge seems off, the honeymoon suite has baggage, and where a case of writer’s block is probably better handled at home. This film takes us into the Irish countryside, where Adam Scott plays a reclusive horror novelist who visits a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to get pulled into tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite and a disappearance that cracks open his own past. So is Hokum a chilling throwback to old-school gothic horror, or does this haunted honeymoon suit...

Shelby Oaks may sound like the kind of place where you’d buy antiques, homemade apple cider, or maybe a rocking chair with an odd stain, but this week we wander into the woods of Shelby Oaks for the 2025 theatrical horror mystery written and directed by Chris Stuckmann. Starring Camille Sullivan as Mia, the film follows as she obsessively searches for answers after her sister Riley vanished while investigating the titular abandoned town with her paranormal web series crew. Did Shelby Oaks plant the seeds for a new horror filmmaker to grow? Find out on this episode of Good Fi...

This week we stroll into Normal, which is exactly the kind of town name that immediately tells you it is anything but... Directed by Ben Wheatley and written by Derek Kolstad, the film stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler, and Lena Headey in a small-town action comedy about a temporary sheriff whose sleepy new posting turns into a violent little snow globe full of secrets. So, is Normal worth the watch, or when you happen along this little town should you keep on driving?

This week we accidentally no-clip into Backrooms, the new A24 liminal nightmare from director Kane Parsons, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass. A strange doorway appears beneath a furniture showroom, and what starts as one man’s impossible discovery turns into a fluorescent-lit descent through spaces that feel like an abandoned office park mixed with a living nightmare. Is Backrooms worth the watch or do we really just want to wallpaper over this corner of our brain?

This week on Good Film Hunting, we’re cracking open Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third Benoit Blanc case from writer-director Rian Johnson. Starring Daniel Craig back as the world’s most polite Southern detective, alongside Josh O’Connor and Glenn Close, this time Blanc steps into a darker, more faith-soaked mystery involving a small-town church, a suspicious death, and secrets buried deeper than confession. Were we Knives Out for this mystery or did we find it… dull ?

This week we make one little wish and immediately regret it in Obsession, the new supernatural horror film written and directed by Curry Barker. The film follows Michael Johnston as Bear, a lonely music store employee who uses a mysterious “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki love him, only to discover that forced affection comes with a very bloody return policy. So, did Obsession cast a spell on us or do we wish for our 108 minutes back?

This week we travel back to 2014 with Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s cosmic gut-punch starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain. Set in a dying future where Earth is running out of food and time, former pilot Cooper joins a desperate mission through a wormhole in search of humanity’s next home. But does Interstellar truly launch into greatness, or did we find ourselves lost in space?

This week, we kick open the wrong door with Do Not Enter, the 2026 horror-thriller directed by Marc Klasfeld and starring Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, and Francesca Reale. The film follows a pack of thrill-seeking urban explorers who livestream their way into New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel in search of buried gangster loot, only to find rival intruders and something far uglier lurking in the dark. Is Do Not Enter a faithful representation of the novel it was born from, or is our review of this film simply Do Not?

This week, Good Film Hunting sends up a flare for Send Help (2026), Sam Raimi’s desert-island descent into survival, resentment, and gloriously twisted bad vibes. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien,, the film strands an overlooked employee and her insufferable boss as the only survivors of a plane crash, turning a fight to stay alive into a darkly comedic war of wills. Was Send Help the rescue we needed, or did Sam Raimi stretch this concept a bit too far?

This week, Good Film Hunting puts some serious spin on Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie’s high-energy 1950s-set hustler saga starring Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Odessa A’zion. Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a swaggering young table tennis phenom chasing greatness, money, and legitimacy in a world that barely knows what to do with him. The real question is: does Marty Supreme paddle its way to glory, or is this one just a lot of hype with no return on serve?

This week, we weather the storm with Shelter, Ric Roman Waugh’s bruised-and-brooding action thriller starring Jason Statham, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, and Bill Nighy. Set on a remote coastal island, the film follows a reclusive man with a violent past who rescues a young girl from a storm and gets dragged back into a deadly world he thought he’d left behind. Shelter wants to be equal parts lonely character piece and Statham survival thriller, but is it our lighthouse in a turbulent storm or a beacon of blasé bravado and bs?

This week, Project Hail Mary launches Ryan Gosling into the kind of sci-fi where the equations matter, the emotions sneak up on you, and the fate of Earth somehow rides shotgun with one very overwhelmed middle-school science teacher. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film follows Ryland Grace, a man who wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory and slowly realizes he may be humanity’s last chance to stop the sun from dying. Did Project Hail Mary make us want to shout “Amaze,” or were we left feeling less than stellar?

This week on Good Film Hunting, we’re breaking out an acoustic guitar for a little Song Sung Blue (2025).This heartfelt musical drama from Craig Brewer stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, a Midwest couple who chase their dreams by forming a Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightning and Thunder. Did this movie make us forever blue (in jeans) or do we think you and Cracklin' Rosie should get on board?

This week we slip on a pair of very suspicious sunglasses and see the world as it really is with They Live, the gloriously subversive sci-fi satire directed by John Carpenter and starring Roddy Piper, Keith David, and Meg “My ice blue eyes are staring into your soul” Foster. The story follows a drifter who discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveal a hidden truth: the world is secretly controlled by alien elites manipulating humanity through subliminal messages. We came here to review movies and chew bubblegum…

This week we sprint into Edgar Wright’s 2025 reimagining of The Running Man, starring Glen Powell as Ben Richards, opposite a wild ensemble including Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo — all set in a dystopian reality where survival is televised and martyrdom is entertainment. What starts as a desperate bid to save a family becomes a gladiator-like sprint through corporate spectacle and media obsession. But does this new version earn its place in the King film pantheon, or does it stumble across the finish line?

This week on Good Film Hunting - Cult Classics, we’re going over the edge—literally—into the raw, restless suburban nightmare of the 1979 film of the same name. Directed by Jonathan Kaplan, it stars a breakout Matt Dillon, alongside Michael Eric Kramer and Pamela Ludwig. Set in a sterile planned community where adults talk at kids instead of to them, the film follows a group of bored, ignored teens whose rebellion escalates from pranks to full-blown uprising. Are we still members of those youthful rebels who took on a real estate development empire or is this cult classic too ou...

This week we’re getting horny for the holidays as we unwrap Krampus, the 2015 horror/comedy directed by Michael Dougherty and starring Adam Scott, Toni Collette, David Koechner, and Allison Tolman. When a dysfunctional family’s Christmas spirit collapses faster than a mall Santa on his lunch break, they accidentally summon a shadowy Alpine demon who punishes the naughty—not with coal, but with nightmare fuel. So did this holiday horror-comedy slay the sleigh, or did Krampus just leave us feeling frostbitten and frustrated?

Nicolas Cage, Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey star in this holiday heist as three ex-cons who rob a tiny Pennsylvania bank on Christmas Eve.

This week we submit to arbitration with The Ref, Ted Demme’s 1994 holiday hostage comedy starring Denis Leary, Judy Davis, and Kevin Spacey as the most dysfunctional trio to ever share a Christmas Eve. When a burglar ends up trapped in a house with a family who arguably needs more help than he does, chaos - and some brutally honest therapy - ensues. But did this dark holiday madness cure the onset of our winter blues or is The Ref just the loudest Christmasshole in the room?

This week we’re breaking our silence on Violent Night (2022), Tommy Wirkola’s holiday brawler starring David Harbour as a Santa who isn’t here for milk and cookies - he’s here to crack skulls. When a squad of mercenaries holds a wealthy family hostage, ol’ Saint Nick teams up with the family’s still-believing daughter to turn Christmas Eve into an all-out sleigh ride of chaos. Did this yuletide beat-down jingle our bells… or was the plot just a little too holy?
