About
Deep Blue Sea: Still the Best Shark Movie That Isn’t Jaws
Before Snakes on a Plane, there were sharks in a lab — and Samuel L. Jackson gave another all-timer. Dive back in on its 26th anniversary.
Eddington: Country Divided, Mirror Raised
Ari Aster’s boldest swing yet. A genre-less satire of 2020s America. Razor-wire tension and no one gets out clean.
M3GAN 2.0: Meme Girl Upgraded
She’s here to slay — leveling up by ditching the tired horror pretense for meta comedy and retro-movie callbacks.
Vertical Limit: Maximum Altitude, Minimum Sense
It’s loud, it's dumb. And we’d die for it.

June 2025

The Monkey: Grief, Gore, and a Barrel of Misfires
A monkey, a trauma spiral, and Theo James battling bad karma and an even worse mullet.
Black Narcissus vs. Showgirls
One wore habits, the other wore nothing. Both were destroyed by the scenery.
Black Narcissus: Lust in the Time of Colonialism
A Technicolor fever dream of desire, repression, and one of the greatest meltdowns ever committed to film.
Mickey 17: Infinite Lives, Zero Warmth
Bong returns with big ideas and even bigger baggage. Bold, bloated, and too sterile to connect.
The SINemeter
A 10-echelon ladder of cinematic damnation — or salvation. Here’s how SINephile rates movies (and why stars are for suckers).
SINephile's 100 Essential Films
Not a canon. Not a manifesto. Just the movies that built us.
What's the Greatest Film of All Time?
It ain't Jeanne Dielman. And not for the reasons you think.
Victor/Victoria (1982): Julie Andrews Blows the Roof Off Paris
Mary Poppins cuts her locks, dons a tux and makes jaws drop in a 1930's Parisian dreamscape. Your move, Cinema.
