Okay, we’ve avoided this subject long enough, but we can’t beat around the bush any longer: who is the best Spider-Man? Could it be Tobey Maguire, the classic Spider-Man? Maybe Andrew Garfield, the short-lived Spider-Man…

One thing I’ll admit I do like about movie franchises and series is that they usually have quality character development. When you have three or four or more movies involving the same characters doing essentially the…

I’ll admit it: I’m a history nerd. I love anything to do with history — especially political history. Consequentially, I’m majoring in political science and minoring in history. So, when I hear of historical films,…

What’s up, fellow MovieBabble fans! It’s your girl, Kali, back at you again with part 2 of this highly acclaimed, Emmy award-winning series! In the first part of the series, we traveled from Alabama to…

We all love to see our hometown represented in the media, especially when it’s up on the big screen! Sometimes though, it seems like only a few of the 50 states in the United States…

Ah, the life of a movie critic is not an easy one. Watching films until your eyes are nothing but teary remnants of the glowing orbs they once were. Trying to find just the right…

Nothing makes someone of my generation feel more out of touch than being presented with a topic that “everyone was talking about.” And we’ve never heard of it. Such is the case with the Fyre…

Some actors and actresses in Hollywood get all the glory. As much as I love George Clooney, he’s pretty overrated, and usually one of the first actors that comes to mind when people think of…

Y’all ever watch a particularly scary kids movie and wonder how in the heck it only got a PG or G rating? I usually have no quarrels with the MPAA rating system. I think it’s…

Before any comic book nerds come at me telling me about the numerous superhero universes there are, please keep in mind that the last time I read something was in elementary school. I no longer…

It’s October, fools. Time to get spooky. I’m going to be completely honest right now: I hate horror movies. I don’t like being scared. I could barely watch Gremlins (1984) because I am such a naive, impressionable…

There’s been a lot of stir lately about the famous caped hero we call Batman. We’ve been given a look at our new Joker, Joaquin Phoenix, and Zack Snyder, director of the most recent Batman…

I’m so tired of seeing that this actor or this actress has been involved in a scandal of some sort. I’m so sick of getting attached to actors only to find that they’re actual douchebags…

With the release of White Boy Rick this week and roles in two other movies this month, it brings a total of eight movies already released this year featuring one of Hollywood’s hardest working actors:…

August is over, which means that fall is just around the corner. As much as I love fall, I wish that the summer could extend for just a few more weeks. Alas, the world does…

When it comes to war movies, there are two wars that seem to get way more silver screen recognition than the others: the Vietnam War and World War II. While this makes for some great…

There are some actors that can play a wide variety of characters. Tom Hanks, for example, can play anything from a starving man on a deserted island to a newspaper executive to a talking cowboy…

The crime/gangster sub-genre contains in itself an anachronistic library of classically defining workings. Historically, the genre seemed to have generally trickled down in relevance, peeking relatively fast but also plateauing in equal measure. It laid…

In his review of BlackKklansman (2018), starring John David Washington and Adam Driver, Collin Willis notes that recent films Get Out (2107) and Sorry to Bother You (2018) also address racial conflict past and present. …

Throughout my life, I’ve always believed that movies can have far-reaching effects. We’ve all experienced the influence of movies firsthand. When I was ten years old, Step Up 3 (2010) was the film that convinced me that…

Sound ludicrous? Like it won’t work out? Maybe it just sounds like a stupid idea to you. Whatever you think, at least to my explanation.  The Avengers already have great chemistry in every movie they…

I recently rewatched Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 classic, Vertigo, because it made it onto TCM’s list of Fathom events in celebration of its 60th anniversary. In my childhood, I saw the film at least four or…

Adam McKay’s Step Brothers (2008), like a fine Catalina Wine Mixer, gets better with age.  Therefore, my way to celebrate its 10-year anniversary is to suggest my best ideas for the plot of a possible sequel.…

Maybe I’m just dramatic or a tad too involved in my news timeline, but I find it hard to not get depressed in this crazy world. It seems like there’s just too much hate and…

Well, I did it. I drove to a Goodwill donation center a few days ago, and dropped off the majority of my Woody Allen DVD collection. I didn’t want to sell them (it didn’t feel…

At Williamstown, Massachusetts, this fourth of July, the local independent movie theater, Images Cinema, displayed a collection of short films that premiered at Sundance this year, currently being shown in a number of theaters around…

After the fourth installment of the Purge franchise, The First Purge, audiences worldwide were given the news that a 10-episode TV series is the next thing to look forward to in this ever-sprawling story. During the…

Time to celebrate Rookie of the Year’s 25th anniversary! I’ll be honest — Rookie of the Year (1993) will never be near as good as The Sandlot (1993), but it’s sure funny. The lovable film stars Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry…

Andres Muschietti’s record-breaking It (2017) had an impressive impact on audiences and critics just less than a year ago. Arguably so, the Stephen King adaptation glued itself quite closely to the 1986 novel and achieved…

Writer’s note: This article is for satirical and humorous purposes only. 2018 has already taken some of the greatest people of our generation: Barbara Bush, Anthony Bourdain, and even Rick Harrison. I’m not going to…
