Film Review – Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker

December 19th, 2019 | POSTED BY Adelaide Blair

I resisted watching the new Star Wars movies for a long time because I am a grumpy middle-aged lady who really doesn’t care about this particular intellectual property. I don’t hate the original trilogy, but the prequels kind of sucked. Not because of their dumbass…

Film Review – Jumanji: The Next Level

December 12th, 2019 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

One of the reasons Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) was such a pleasant surprise was the chemistry of the main cast. You had a group of kids – Spencer (Alex Wolff), Fridge (Ser-Darius Blain), Bethany (Madison Iseman), and Martha (Morgan Turner) – getting magically…

Film Review – Richard Jewell

December 6th, 2019 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Film Review – The Aeronauts

Film Review – Atlantics

December 1st, 2019 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

There are some films that exist to defy the conventions of storytelling. Three act structures with clear and precise plot points step aside in favor of mood, atmosphere, and tone. When a filmmaker can convey a theme or idea without having to rely on well-worn…

Film Review – Waves

November 27th, 2019 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Writer and director Trey Edward Shults returns with another family-oriented drama after Krisha and It Comes At Night. Waves continues to be held in high regard by critics since arriving on the film festival circuit in early 2019. The trailer for the film gives me goosebumps and…

Film Review – Queen & Slim

November 27th, 2019 | POSTED BY Edward Davidson

Racism, police violence, societal prejudices, the disaffection and pressure of constantly living under scrutiny based on appearance, the simple wish to just be; these are all issues that African Americans live with on a constant basis. How to eke out any sort of normalcy or…

Do you need a sweet reprieve from family ugliness this Thanksgiving? A getaway from canned cranberry sauce, drunken uncles and political squabbles? Good news, friends, Rian Johnson is here to pick you up with a heaping helping of fun in the form of Knives Out,…
