Released 40 years ago this month, 'Pink Floyd: The Wall' can best be described as 90 minutes of interconnected weirdness, scored by one of the best rock albums of all time.

With the 'Game of Thrones' prequel series set to air, there have been various early reactions from critics, with one tabloid in particular running a truly bizarre piece...
'The Simpsons' is an extremely important show to a lot of people, and while the movie doesn't transcend the show or anything like it, it's still very much worthy of the name.
'The Queen of Versailles', the 2012 doc about a wealthy couples gaudy attempt to build the largest single-family home in the United States is one of the best documentaries of the last decade.
Austin Butler's 'Elvis' biopic has been getting all the attention but my favorite Elvis movie remains 'Bubba Ho-Tep', an absurdist horror-comedy where he's secretly lived past his "official" death and fights a mummy.
Wilco's transition into "Heavy Metal Drummer" has to be one of my favorite moment's in pop music, and that moment also happens to be the basis of two of the greatest moments of 'I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.'
The Tribeca Film Festival is ongoing, with both in-person and virtual components, and as usual, there are some major music documentaries. Here are three of the most notable ones.
Whenever there's a mass shooting — or, as has been the case in the U.S. in recent weeks, many of them — there's always the blaming of violent movies followed not long after by the charge of Hollywood anti-gun hypocrisy.
'This is Us' wrapped up its six-year run last week, a culmination of fantastic, unique storytelling that spanned about 75 years and four generations, and did the near impossible; it nailed its endgame.
'Deep Throat' is quite possibly the most famous pornographic movie of all time and is angling for a 50th anniversary cinema return, but that raises a litany of questions that need considering.
Released in 1997 and directed by Luc Besson, 'The Fifth Element' was really two films (one much better than the other), but whose stunning visuals and fun-filled ride still stand out today.
There have been many reasons thrown around for why Netflix has posted it's first subscriber loss in over a decade, but there's one gaining attention that's been for, well, just about everything: "wokeness."
'Unforgiven', Clint Eastwood's classic Western from 1992, is seen as a crowing achievement in Eastwood's career, and not only because it won Best Picture and three other Oscars.
'The Rising,' Bruce Springsteen's 12th studio album and his first with the E Street Band in 18 years, takes up a fascinating place in Springsteen's history and is widely remembered as his "9/11 album."
Released 10 years ago, 'The Dark Knight Rises' might not be as highly regarded as its 2008 predecessor, but its still a very good superhero film and easily better than every one that followed.
'Withnail and I' was a movie about drunkenness, combining a rather sad plot with a surprising amount of laughs. While not a hit when it first arrived, it's attained cult classic status as the years have gone by.
25 years ago 'Face/Off' arrived, featuring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage in some of their most luxurious over-acting of their careers, a ridiculous plot, and impossible action sequences.
The infamous Watergate scandal led to quite a few movies, including many documentaries, but there are five feature films that really stand above the rest in terms of how they told the story.
Released 10 years ago, 'Paul Williams: Still Alive' was a tale of two stories; one that gives a glimpse at one of American pop culture's most fascinating figures and one that comes from the Michael Moore/Morgan Spurlock/Nick Broomfield school of filmmaking.
Released 20 years ago, the Eddie Griffin-led 'Undercover Brother' arrived as a loving tribute and parody of '70s blaxploitation films; consistently funny with one of the best soundtracks since the turn of the century.
'Moonrise Kingdom', which arrived 10 years ago this week, is arguably Wes Anderson's most underrated and different film amongst his storied pantheon of movies. Charming, low-stakes, and very funny.
Netflix's much talked about downturn has led to a significant round of cost-cutting for the company, but if there's one silver lining, it's that 'I Think You Should Leave' is still returning for another season.
More than 40 years into his career, the spring of 2022 has become the time to examine the cinematic and cultural legacy of Nicolas Cage - from think pieces to books to a new movie where Cage plays Cage.
The most talked-about filmmaker this Spring is a 76-year-old director who hasn't made a new movie since 2006, and yet, David Lynch is everywhere, at the forefront of both movie news and Film Twitter argument.
