Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that Hollywood today has a significant percentage of British people. Maybe it’s always been like that and I’ve just never noticed, but I feel like England is trying …

Many Americans cringe when they hear abortion mentioned, because they know the discussion could get ugly. Even those with the same overall stance can disagree on certain aspects. Amazingly, Netflix’s new documentary, Reversing Roe, accomplishes …

Sometimes film has an awe-inspiring quality that says, “nothing can quite recapture this moment like we can.” Damien Chazelle’s third film First Man has that quality in spades, showing the amazing triumphs of man in a tightly wrapped …

I went through a bit of a witch phase (or maybe craze is a more apt word) when I was younger. This is due in part to the shows on television at the time, like …

Here’s one of the more obvious statements you’ll read all day: Robert Redford is one of the best film figures ever. From his numerous iconic roles to founding the Sundance Film Festival, he has left …

A lot of things can go wrong on a movie set. An actor can go rogue, a script’s deficiencies can become magnified, a director can lose his or her mind…you get the picture. The truth is that no …

September is often thrown aside as an unimportant, uninspired month in the movie calendar, a month caught between the summer movie season and the Oscar push where films often go to die. That’s normally the …

Our best friend is a friend for a reason isn’t it; we just don’t see them in a romantic way. However, here are some movies that might have us rethinking how we look at our …

We live in a tumultuous time. You didn’t need me to say that for you to know. Just turn on the news, or, in some circles, look out of your window. Based on the novel …

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 …

Occasionally, there’s a movie that comes to theaters that gets panned by essentially everyone in journalism. Life Itself is the latest incarnation of that movie that you heard is terrible but never had any intention of seeing …

For some reason, a clip from this movie appeared on my YouTube recommended list. I was feeling particularly nostalgic, so I watched it. Demi Moore (Diana) is a transcendent kind of beautiful, and so mesmerizing …

The sequel that everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived! Yes I’m talking about the sequel to the 1995’s anthology horror film Tales from the Hood, called, well, Tales from the Hood 2. Original director …

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 …

Phil Hartman was a truly multi-talented entertainer, perhaps best known for his work on television. After all, Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, and NewsRadio are what made him a household name. However, one should not …

Every so often, a movie comes around that is bound to stir up conversation due to its subject matter and tone. Assassination Nation is that movie in the present, and I can guarantee one thing: it’s going …

If you’ve gone to the theater in the last few months, there’s a high chance that you saw the excellently cut trailer for White Boy Rick multiple times. Seriously, Sony made sure that you knew about this movie if …

Netflix‘s Nappily Ever After does a genre switch on me, and subverts every expectation I had from watching the trailer. I expected a clichéd romantic comedy, instead I got a discussion about womanhood, identity, and …

Unless you have been under a rock the past few months, you would have witnessed the phenomenon that is Crazy Rich Asians. While I was personally disappointed with the film, I am a fan of …

This article pitting Singin’ in the Rain vs. It’s a Wonderful in the Best vs. the Best series was originally published on reelreader.com, a great website for discussing pop culture and entertainment.  We are back by …

The new The Girl in the Spider’s Web trailer has dropped. It’s sloppy, unschooled and throws into sharp relief every weakness that the impeccable first trailer succeeded in concealing. Here are the most immediate problems. Point …

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 …

Pierre Morel deserves a lot of credit (and some of the blame) for the current state of action movies. His smash hit thriller Taken made studio executives realize the simplicity that can come with the action movie …

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Emily Danforth) was a revelation: a bridge for me, into a world where I felt heard and seen. I had …

Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy was another film I had been anxiously anticipating. After reading the early reviews from its screening at Cannes, I knew this was my kind of movie. When I read things like “synth-heavy …

A Simple Favor definitely sells itself as a Gone Girl-esque movie, with Blake Lively as the beautiful and enigmatic Emily Nelson and Anna Kendrick as the seemingly gullible and naive best friend. While it is …
