    by Patricia Henderson August 20, 2022
    by Patricia Henderson August 20, 2022

    The self-described “dark fairy tale,” Squeal (also known as Samuel’s Travels) is a truly international affair: the film comes from Latvia, has an Armenian writer/director, the lead actor is from Belgium, and the narrator sounds…

    ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’ Should Save This Franchise

    by Aubrey McKay May 5, 2022
    by Aubrey McKay May 5, 2022

    The Secrets of Dumbledore never really stood a chance, did it? A tepid critical response to the first two films and controversy after controversy, left the once-promising “Wizarding World” fumbling its bag. It’s been nearly…

    Toronto International Film Festival 2021 Review: ‘Kicking Blood’

    by Sean Coates September 13, 2021
    by Sean Coates September 13, 2021

    Cinema has given us many incarnations and interpretations of the vampire mythos since F.W Murnau’s Nosferatu almost a century ago. We’ve seen them portrayed as everything from baroque aristocrats, mindless parasitic monsters, mysterious outsiders in…

    by Nick Kush August 5, 2021
    by Nick Kush August 5, 2021

    So many films present a dystopian future by isolating one particularly destructive idea and playing out its disastrous societal effects. Whatever the cause for the decline of civilization — whether it’s alien invasions, dictatorships, or…

    by Nick Kush November 10, 2020
    by Nick Kush November 10, 2020

    What happens when you mix threads of The Shape of Water with economic European storytelling and pervasive sadness? You probably get something like Christian Petzold’s Undine, an update of the European mythology in which a…

    ‘Artemis Fowl’ is Yet Another Non-Marvel, Live-Action Dud from Disney

    by Nick Kush June 16, 2020
    by Nick Kush June 16, 2020

    Five sittings. It took me five different sittings to finish Disney’s Artemis Fowl, a mere 94-minute movie including the entirety of the end credits. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for what was supposed to become…

    by Olaf Lesniak October 30, 2019
    by Olaf Lesniak October 30, 2019

    It was merely five years ago when the one-and-done Maleficent arrived in theaters to great box office success. But outside of financial statements, the film didn’t make an impact and has been long forgotten ever since.…

    Film Review – Dumbo (2019)

    by Jen Seggio April 3, 2019
    by Jen Seggio April 3, 2019

    I never expected Dumbo to ever appear on the roster of Disney’s live-action remakes rolling out since 2010. Like so many, I questioned this decision. The announcement that Tim Burton would be directing only added…

    by Jen Seggio December 28, 2018

    Film Review – Mortal Engines (2018)

    by Olaf Lesniak December 9, 2018
    by Olaf Lesniak December 9, 2018

    What are the chances Mortal Engines survives this holiday season from the clutches of Into the Spider-Verse, Aquaman, Marry Poppins Returns, and Bumblebee combined? Slim, I tell you. Universal might have overestimated their chances when it came to its marketability in such…

    by Jen Seggio November 9, 2018
    by Jen Seggio November 9, 2018
