Read more: Midsommar (2019)Ari Aster’s first film, Hereditary, had a trailer that was impossible to avoid for about six months leading up to its release. I must have seen it at least two dozen times.

Read more: From The Mailbag: Tarantino and InterstellarHere at Ruthless, we love to get mail, especially hate mail. If you think our writing sucks, our movie reviews are off base, or that our site is worthless, tell us about it. This guy doesn’t like Quentin Tarantino…or my review of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Read more: Once Upon A Time In HollywoodOnce Upon A Time In Hollywood has to have been the most anticipated movie of 2019, and for good reason; the reason is Quentin Tarantino. You know you are going on a ride, so buckle up. Let me also say that Tarantino was as indulgent as usual, and likes to take his time and use…

Read more: Actors Who Love The CasinoCasino movies are a pretty big genre, guaranteed to pull the revenue in. Just think about the Ocean’s series and although not necessarily considered casino movies as such, the James Bond franchise. There’s something about the glitz, glamour and excitement of a casino that entices viewers and makes them popular choice for producers to transport…

Read more: Spider-Man: Far From HomeI’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you. The battle against movie piracy has officially gone too far. Typically at advanced screenings, we are asked by security folks to silence or turn off our phones and not get them out during the movie. You know, like literally every movie does at every theater…

Read more: The Brand New Testament (2015)At Ruthless, all sacred cows are fair game for scrutiny, skepticism and yes, ridicule. From The ABC’s Of Evangelical Christians to awful Christian movies like Saving Christmas or The Case For Christ, we enjoy seeing religion torn down to the stump of stupidity that it is.
