With the world slowly starting to show signs of normalcy, the impact of COVID-19 on the entertainment industry, and specifically film, is undeniable. The visible wake of the impact from the virus grows more apparent…

What is the nicest way to ask a happily married couple to call it quits? An email? A phone call? A box of Shari’s Berries? If you have an answer, sound off in the comments.…

High school movies are a dime a dozen. Though the specific narrative, characters, and details will vary, the genre, for the most part, is pretty cookie-cutter. The new Netflix film, Moxie (based on the book…

Well, it couldn’t last forever, could it? Week after week, I have been able to watch and review some splendid movies on this very site. Unfortunately, Red Dot is not one of them. In fact,…

The third installment in the To All the Boys canon follows Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and Peter (Noah Centineo) as they prepare for their post-high school future at Stanford together. Everything is neatly scheduled, including the…

Every year, a day after the Oscars ceremony, I start writing an article about the awards for the following year. This year was no exception. Of the movies that I predicted to be nominated, some were…

Citizen Kane. Decent flick. Odds are you were forced to study it endlessly in your Intro to Film course in college — it’s second only to Breathless among the films you were most likely to hate…

When it comes to musicals (and comedies, for that matter) things are very simple for me. Either I hate them with a passion, or I really like them. Indeed, there are some great classics (even…

I Am Sam, Grace Of Monaco, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. All made with the express purpose of winning Oscars. All absolute garbage. Joining this lackluster group is Ron Howard’s latest Hillbilly Elegy. A lifeless, hacky…

Don’t come to His House expecting a by-the-numbers haunted house horror movie. While there are plenty of jump scares, Remi Weekes’ debut combines these effectively with a gripping story about grief and loss. His House…

I love it when I’m watching a movie at home, and it grabs me to the point where I start doing all sorts of crazy stuff in the middle of the film. I’ve yelled at…

Dario Argento. Lamberto Bava. Lucio Fulci. We cannot deny it: the Italians have some big names when it comes to horror movies. And that is exactly the reason why I eagerly sat down to watch The…

Ah, autumn. The leaves changing colors, the air getting crisp, the faint smell of campfires. Autumn is my favorite season, and it only has a little bit to do with the fact that I have…

In 2007, filmmaker Kirsten Johnson lost her mother, Catherine (nicknamed Katie Jo), to Alzheimer’s. Johnson was struck by how little footage she had shot of her mother, despite being a cinematographer for many years. That…
