Film Review – Music by John Williams

October 31st, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Hundreds of years from now, people will revere composer John Williams the same way we do of Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart. Some might already put him on that pedestal now. His music has come to transcend generations, embedding into our collective consciousness like a fond memory. There…

Film Review – Conclave

October 25th, 2024 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

Electing a new Pope is a sacred one steeped in rituals and looking to God for guidance.  On the other hand, it is also a popularity contest or at least one that examines all the potential candidates for how virtuous they are in the eyes…

Film Review – Woman of the Hour

October 20th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, Woman of the Hour (2023) is a tense and insightful thriller in which a struggling actor crosses paths with a serial killer on the television show The Dating Game in the 1970s. But Kendrick – along with screenwriter Ian McDonald – doesn’t just focus on this brief…

Film Review – The Apprentice

October 10th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Imagine taking the scene between Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) – in which the former gives advice to the latter on how to be a successful stockbroker – and expanding it out to feature length. What you end up with would probably resemble The Apprentice (2024).…

Film Review – V/H/S/Beyond

October 4th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

Another year, another V/H/S film. At this point, the V/H/S franchise has firmly planted itself in the horror tradition of putting out a new release almost every year, replacing the likes of the Saw (2004) and Final Destination (2000) films. And like its predecessors, the results have been uneven. In a sort of weird…

Film Review – The Outrun

October 3rd, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The Outrun (2024) further confirms Saoirse Ronan’s talent as a performer. From Brooklyn (2015), Lady Bird (2017), Little Women (2019), Ammonite (2020), and now this, Ronan has gradually built up a resume that can stand toe to toe with just about any actor of her generation. She has a chameleon-like ability to adapt to any situation…

Film Review – Wolfs

September 26th, 2024 | POSTED BY Allen Almachar

The oddly titled Wolfs (2024) – shouldn’t it be “Wolves?” – is about as laid back as you can get when it comes to a crime comedy. There are a lot of shady characters getting into all kinds of hijinks, but it’s all done with an even keeled,…

Film Review – The Substance (Second Take)

September 20th, 2024 | POSTED BY Sarah Ksiazek

There is no escaping the pairing of body horror and The Substance (2024) since its premiere at Cannes.  It is impossible to look up anything about its premise or even watch the trailer and not see the term.  According to Wikipedia, body horror “is a…
