The polls below will close at 12 p.m. EST on the day of the Academy Awards, February 9th, 2020. Be sure to get your votes in by then! Another year, another round of bizarre nominations…

Horse Girl is the latest film in the Jeff Baena/Alison Brie collaboration, though it is the first to be co-written by Brie. The pair have clearly found their creative stride together and Horse Girl is further…

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is still going strong in its third weekend at the box office, though still below its predecessor’s gross. It’s followed by Jumanji: The Next Level in its fourth weekend. Little…

By the power of Netflix, Marriage Story, a fairly serious drama about an insanely contentious divorce, has been memed to death by Film Twitter and beyond. Stills of Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson arguing about…

Ford v Ferrari has surpassed expectations with an impressive $30 million+ haul over the weekend. However, it remains to be seen if the film has what it takes to outrace its budget. Ford v Ferrari is joined in…

Joker has been out for about a month now, and over the course of that month, it managed to take over meme culture, stir up some unneeded controversy, and gross well over $900 million (and…

What are movies? What makes one movie “cinema” and another a “theme park ride”? These clickbait questions have been on everyone’s mind lately. Martin Scorcese and Francis Ford Coppola have been asked to comment on…

Terminator: Dark Fate has come hot on the heels of Terminator: Genisys to even bleaker returns. The Arnold Schwarzenegger-driven project once again fails to live up to its former glory. Could this be the last we’ll see…

Joker remains a box office sensation by reclaiming the top spot at the box office, wrestling it away from Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, which continues to be a movie that exists. The Todd Phillips’ movie…

I haven’t seen such on-the-nose casting since Anthony Hopkins in basically every one of his creepy roles after The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Joaquin Phoenix is already kind of a creepy dude (at least in…

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,  the sequel nobody asked for (seriously) is struggling in its domestic debut. However, the film is kept afloat by its strong overseas numbers. Joker continues to hold strong in the number two spot,…

I’ll be honest, my reasons for seeing Cuck were partly masochistic. I wanted to find out if this film was as bad as it appeared to be. Many people are mocking this film, and it’s…

It’s another stellar weekend at the box office for Joker as it continues to open overseas and rake in profits. The latest DC film has Justice League’s worldwide gross well within its sights. It’s followed by The Addams Family (*snap*,…

With Joker being such a blatant homage to the works of Martin Scorsese and other filmmakers that told scuzzy New York dramas in the 1970s and 1980s, it’s interesting timing that Scorsese himself, while on…

After months of anticipation and controversy, Joker is released to the public. The Joaquin Phoenix-led superhero drama is shattering expectations and fanboys alike. Following it from a long way off is Abominable in the number two spot. Downton Abbey continues…

DreamWorks continues the late-September tradition of lackluster animated films with Abominable. While it leads the weekend, it fails to take in anything close to its budget. Downton Abbey, on the other hand, continues to rake in profits with…

It Chapter Two proves that Pennywise still has some spooks left in him. The sequel to 2017’s biggest runaway horror hit, is back, albeit with somewhat smaller returns. As a result, Angel Has Fallen has finally fallen from…

Remember The Mask? Jim Carrey? Several other actors that you see and go, “Hey! It’s that guy from the ’90s!”? Well, The Mask celebrates its 25th anniversary this week, and it’s definitely time for a…

After 30 years, what makes Batman (1989) truly unique within the franchise? Despite the movie’s title, this isn’t a Batman movie. A pretty bold claim, I know. I’ll admit that it had been about a…

I’m sure I’ve not been alone in thinking that Hollywood really needs to focus on a great villain-oriented movie. I’ve said it about Voldemort before and I’ve discussed why Suicide Squad doesn’t count. But now,…
