In short, The Last Jedi felt like it was a film desperately trying to course correct The Force Awakens' lack of progress and in doing so drastically changes things, sometimes in seemingly spiteful and heartbreaking ways. It's the boldest Star Wars film yet and it represents the end of the Star Wars that we (the older generation) have come to know and love - in more ways than one.
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.
A24 has released a new trailer for The Zone of Interest film, which is a somber and eerie look at the Holocaust.
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.
A24 just released a new trailer for its upcoming surreal drama Tuesday, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and debut filmmaker Daina O. Pusić..
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.
'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.
'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.'
Although Spike Lee plays things a bit too much for laughs at times, 'Blackkklansman' delivers his most charismatic and engaging film in years.
'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 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.
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.
'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.
Hollywood doesn't come out with many literary comedies anymore, or films that center around the extracurricular adventures of middle-aged professors, but it did both back in February of 2000 with 'Wonder Boys.' A film criminally overlooked by moviegoers.
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.
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.
All in all, The Strain has always been a mixed bag of good and bad and season 4 is no different. In terms of pacing, story telling, and character building, it was definitely the weakest season of them all but in a world where we rarely get proper endings to series, they did a more than serviceable job of tying up loose ends and giving the characters that needed it, proper endings.
'The Favourite' is a slog of a story to get through that's only alleviated by some superb performances by its leading females, particularly Rachel Weisz.
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.
While in many TV series poverty might feel like a very unpleasant condition, Paul Abbott's Shameless provided a distinctive perspective that struck a chord with audiences from all walks of life.
'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.
The Black Guelph dives into the corrupt chaos of a small-time drug dealer, Canto, who yearns to escape the clutches of his criminal life.
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.
While probably shaky from a factual standpoint, 'Vice' is a hell of an enjoyable watch for something so darkly disturbing because of its real-life implications.
