George Clooney has been a movie star for 25 years now, but the best movie he's ever been a part of — 'Michael Clayton' — is one from 2007 that was a flop at the time of its release.
'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' is truly a hidden gem that I've personally already seen thrice now, and every time I get the same euphoric feeling as if I'm watching it for the first time. It's an undeniably special show that despite being set in an era we no longer live in, remains relevant for its ability to tackle important issues.
At first glance 'Dead Man Walking' looks like a typical piece of liberal Hollywood message-based filmmaking, but the film is different from others in the genre in quite a few key ways and 25 years after its release, it's every bit as devastating as it was upon arrival.
One of the quintessential movies of the New Hollywood of the 1970s turns 50 years old this year. 'The King of Marvin Gardens,' directed by Bob Rafelson, was weird, experimental, and featured Jack Nicholson on top of his game.
A24 has released a new trailer for The Zone of Interest film, which is a somber and eerie look at the Holocaust.
With Twin Peaks: the Return, David Lynch has once again proven himself to be the strange master of portraying the human experience. Let's look at three moments from the Return in which he perfectly captured the beauty, the darkness, and the bizarre.
Let’s explore the parallels between the Rupert Murdochs' family and 'Succession's Roys, and offer a proper takeaway for those still believing that Greek tragedies are just works of fiction.
'Green Book' is a refreshing take on a well trodden path thanks to great performances from both leads and the charisma and charm they bring to this 'odd pairing.'
A24 just released a new trailer for its upcoming surreal drama Tuesday, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and debut filmmaker Daina O. Pusić..
Aronofsky's latest endeavor was marketed as a horror film, but it turned out to be so much more than anybody asked for or expected.
Season 2 of Preacher improves upon everything you loved about Season 1 and cranks the craziness up to an even greater level. It's as funny and as sharp as ever thanks to some phenomenal writing, acting, and dialogue that keeps things grounded even in a world as outlandish as this one. In short, Season 2 of Preacher is some of the best TV I've seen in the past 5 years and it's a show that everyone should be talking about.
'Roma' is an artistically realized and beautifully shot ode to the unsung people in our lives but its basic story and plodding pace can be a chore to get through.
The uncertainty and painful longing we have been struggling with during these unprecedented times have been powerfully articulated through Kay Niuyue Zhang’s short film 'Mother in the Mist.'
Arriving 15 years ago now, 'Juno' is one of those movies where you're either on its wavelength or you're not. If you are, it's wonderful, cute, and heartwarming. If you're not, it's practically unwatchable.
'The World According to Garp' is remembered as one of Robin Williams' best-ever dramatic roles, and an extremely bizarre and disjointed film, which satirizes feminism and features John Lithgow as a trans woman.
'A Star Is Born' is a fairly predictable story that fumbles the ending but Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper do a great job of delivering real emotional resonance and the music is fantastic.
Although Spike Lee plays things a bit too much for laughs at times, 'Blackkklansman' delivers his most charismatic and engaging film in years.
Sure, there are reasons to be skeptical about the Sopranos revival. The flashback episodes of The Sopranos were never among the show’s better episodes, and the time period change alone indicates that however great it is, the movie won’t be the Sopranos that we remember. Even so, David Chase has been missed, and I can’t wait to see what he does with this project. Just don’t expect it to give you the Sopranos answers you never got from the show the first go-around.
The CBS crime drama series, created all the way back in 2005, officially signed off for good last Wednesday, and much like the multiple 'Law & Order' series out there, they figured out a formula that contributed to the show's unusual longevity.

Movies such as The Shape of Water and Pan's Labyrinth are works of a visionary master, one who can take fairy tales and horror movies of our youth and turn them into memorable works of art. Del Toro keeps returning to seemingly silly movie creatures to bring us the deeply humane message about the evil, wonder, and sainthood hiding inside us all. For that alone, his work should be cherished and studied.
This season felt a bit off pacing wise (and not just due it's disjointed nature) and I didn't find myself clamoring for the next episode like I was in the first season, but it progressively got stronger towards the end with some great scenes and their best season finale yet, leaving me re-energized and excited to see what will unfold in Season 4.
