A24

It is one of the most satisfying feelings when you are watching a film and it dawns on you that you’re watching something great. For a specific type of viewer, David Lowery’s latest film The…

After a three-week hiatus for the podcast, we’re back! A lot has happened since the last episode — box office shenanigans, big-budget flops, buzzy indie releases — and Brennan and I are here to take…

We practically demand that our entertainment speak to us in a meaningful way. We require it to be some sort of solution or commentary to the injustices in the world, expecting our creatives to help…

Religious beliefs — or idolatry of any symbols whether it be godlike or commercial — have been essential to our species. Look beyond the philosophical aspect and toward the fantastical elements of certain beliefs that…

For all the time spent lamenting the end of cinema post-March, there were still plenty of great movies to see in 2020. This year marked the largest number of new movies I’ve seen in a…

On this week’s podcast, we continue to answer the tough questions, such as: Is Project Power worth discussing? Why do people like Josh Duhamel so much? Do teenage boys make up all of MovieBabble’s site…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

“The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever being one.” – Billy Connolly Since 1935, The American Legion has sponsored Boys State (and Girls State, which is somehow a separated…

If I had to put money on which director would take the big leap in the next decade, most (if not all) of it would be on Jeremy Saulnier. You could say I have a lot of…

With every article I write about A24, the closer I become to being a merch bro. (Not yet!) But despite how much fun it is to dunk on people who like each and every A24…

Kelly Reichardt’s latest, First Cow, distributed by A24, is an intimate look at male friendship, the American dream, and baking. Reichardt is well-known for her films about American life, focusing on dire times and looked-over…

Oz Perkins is a talented filmmaker. His previous directorial outings range from good (I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) to great (The Blackcoat’s Daughter). When I heard he was making a…

There are precious few films that announce their brilliance in their opening moments. Minari is one of those films — and I’m positive that this isn’t the “Sundance high” talking that frequently comes with reactions…

2019 delivered some great cinema! While the return of great directors like Tarantino and Scorsese has been the highlight of awards season, we also saw some great directorial debuts on the indie scene. Films like…

Rod Goldman and Al Silverman are street performers who work the tourist scene of Times Square. Goldman gets no respect and Silverman is the first one to make sure of that.   Credits Directed By:…

2019 was a big year for A24, which distributed some of the more noteworthy and beloved indie films, including The Lighthouse, Midsommar, High Life, The Farewell, and many more. But arguably none were more successful…

Uncut Gems feels like it is partially plucked from my dream journal. It has so many things that I love or am captivated by, from a New York-based crime story to a great Adam Sandler…

This just in…. After seeing The Lighthouse, and more specifically Robert Pattinson’s amazing performance, a Texas man has vowed to watch every Robert Pattinson movie to see what he has been missing. “I mean, where…

The best stories are the ones that speak to all of us. Regardless of the time, place and/or culture that the story is set in, there is a humanity to the characters and narrative that…

These best/worst of the month articles are always an opportunity to express my exaggerated concerns with the industry as a whole. However, July was actually a bright spot of the summer movie season, balancing nicely…

I can picture the more standard, Hollywood version of Share in my head: it’s full of long diatribes, tearful wishes, and happy resolutions. A24’s Share, however, is far more cynical and rough, challenging its audience to accept its…

June was…rough. We saw a slew of high-profile blockbusters flop hard; most notably, Dark Phoenix will lose Fox (Disney) around $100 million. Other films like The Secret Life of Pets 2 and Shaft also cratered,…

Well, Midsommar was an experience, to say the least. Following up Hereditary, last year’s breakout indie hit, wasn’t going to be an easy task, mostly because you probably loved it and had your expectations very…

Hereditary was a major hit for A24 last summer, quickly becoming one of the indie distributor’s most successful monetary investments off of the strength of some magnetic performances, a string of horrendously morbid set pieces,…

If you’re anything like me — and may the gods have pity on you if you are — then you’ve grown quite tired of the countless obvious corporate products that have limped into multiplexes so…

Sorry, but UglyDolls will not be making an appearance on this list of the best movies of May 2019. Let’s all take a moment of silence for this tragic loss… … … … …Okay, that’s…

It’s that time of year again. The 66th annual Sydney Film Festival has just kicked off for another year. Screening from June 5-16, The 2019 program boasts an impressive lineup of over 250 of the…

Joanna Hogg has had much critical success as an arthouse director with a couple of well-received films. But she hasn’t had much luck in the states as of yet, leaving much of her success across…

From the Illuminati to backmasked satanic messages on Led Zep albums, the world has always loved a good conspiracy theory. And (no) thanks to the success of pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones, we’re…

I find it fitting that while we find ourselves in the middle of the most unprecedented box office occurrence of the millennium, I settled on three smaller movies for the top spots in April’s best…
