    The Best Thing About ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ Is Its Universality

    by Adina Bernstein June 24, 2022
    by Adina Bernstein June 24, 2022

    The best stories are universal. Regardless of the period it takes place in, the language, and the culture, there is something or someone for the audience to understand as their own. In 2002, the indie…

    by Kali Tuttle August 3, 2021
    by Kali Tuttle August 3, 2021

    Kazaam is much like a cheese — it had the potential to age well, but someone kept it in their prewar apartment cupboard at a constant temperature of 80 degrees and now it just reeks.…

    by Brian Connor April 12, 2021
    by Brian Connor April 12, 2021

    Donnie Darko, Fight Club, The Thing… all ‘cult’ films that made the square root of nada at the box office but have been critically vindicated since. 20 years ago, Josie and the Pussycats joined this hallowed…

    ‘Back to the Future Part II’ is the Worst in the Franchise

    by Collin Willis November 22, 2019
    by Collin Willis November 22, 2019

    Back to the Future Part II is iconic, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a good movie. While it’s flashy visuals and its satirization of America’s future are fun, the movie itself is a mess.…

    ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’ and The Beauty of Inspirational Politics

    by Kali Tuttle October 17, 2019
    by Kali Tuttle October 17, 2019

    It’s been 80 years since my beloved Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) was released, but its message still rings true: politics sucks. Unless, of course, James Stewart is your senator. Then everything is great! But let’s…

    Frank Simon’s ‘The Queen’: The Restoration of an Icon

    by Michael Heimbaugh August 21, 2019
    by Michael Heimbaugh August 21, 2019

    From its roots in the “pantomime dame” craze of the late 19th century to the modern-day antics of RuPaul’s Drag Race, drag has served as a way of subverting audiences’ expectations about gender. By performing…

    The Best Gags in ‘South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut’

    by Nick Kush July 2, 2019
    by Nick Kush July 2, 2019

    Even with all the changes we’ve seen over the last twenty years, one of the few constants has been South Park and all its stupidly intelligent glory. Since 1997, we’ve had the privilege of seeing…

    The 50th Anniversary of ‘The Wild Bunch’: Born to Fade Away

    by Chris van Dijk June 18, 2019
    by Chris van Dijk June 18, 2019

    I remember hearing about a potential upcoming remake of The Wild Bunch, starring Will Smith. Without a doubt, Will Smith’s involvement made the prospect even more grotesque. Remember, this is the same guy who asked…

    Celebrating(?) the Ten-Year Anniversary of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’

    by Chris van Dijk April 28, 2019
    by Chris van Dijk April 28, 2019

    In terms of quality, the X-Men franchise has been frustratingly uneven. In all fairness, there were more misses than hits. The right ingredients were there: a source material rich with compelling social commentary, character drama…

    by Michael Heimbaugh February 26, 2019
    by Michael Heimbaugh February 26, 2019

    Being in your mid-twenties is rough. You’re supposedly young enough to remain attached to the recklessness of youth, yet too old not to have your completely figured out. You subsist on canned and frozen food.…

    Last week, Walter Hill’s street-fighting gang adventure The Warriors celebrated its 40th anniversary. Hill’s film, while initially poorly received by critics, has in the decades since its release garnered a massive cult following. But the big…

    10 Years of Being Told ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’

    by Natasha Alvar January 31, 2019
    by Natasha Alvar January 31, 2019

    The year of 2009 was apparently a Rom-Com year for me, because He’s Just Not That Into You is the second movie I remember watching in the cinema, with the first being Bride Wars. This…

    ‘Sleeping Beauty’: Disney’s Living Tapestry

    by Jen Seggio January 25, 2019
    by Jen Seggio January 25, 2019

    It’s easy to dismiss Sleeping Beauty as your average princess-centered Disney film. Its plot bears many surface similarities to Snow White, mainly the slumbering royalty awoken by a kiss. What saves Sleeping Beauty from being…

    Darren Aronofsky is one of the great trickster gods of the modern cinema world. His modus operandi as a filmmaker is to shock, to provoke thought, to search the human psyche, to obliterate his audience’s expectations…
