If you are like me and at least 50% of the American public, you have absolutely no more mental bandwidth to spend on Donald Trump. But as I write this, with the 2024 presidential election just over three weeks away, the curiosity factor of this quickly-released biopic of the...
As someone born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I appreciate a gray, blustery ocean with a stark rocky beach and a wind that can take your breath away. The sensory and physical experience of such a place is truly mind-emptying. So I could understand how a character like...
If your French-isms are a little rusty like mine, it may or may not help to know that “folie à deux” translates to “the presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two persons closely associated with one another” (thanks, Merriam-Webster!). The character of the Joker (or in...
At first glance, Lee is a somewhat formulaic biopic centered on one person’s experiences during the horrors of World War II… but the film wastes little time establishing that this character is looking at war through a unique lens. This lens is the camera of American war photographer Lee...
Man, being a tween sucks. Whether you grew up in the era of social media, or in pre-historic times (like myself), the years just before high school can be brutal. Your body is changing, your friends are changing, and your hormones are on the fritz. No matter how confident...
Already it seems like all Marvel movies are blender-made, as characters get rebooted, spun-off, and conveniently thrown into other multiverses and timelines so that even character deaths become meaningless. Deadpool, until now, has been somewhat Marvel-adjacent due to the character being part of 20th Century Fox’s intellectual property. He’s...
We know the man has some singing chops, yet it was still kind of hard to picture Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan. Doubts can surely be laid to rest now with this first trailer for James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown, showing Chalamet as the iconic folk singer, slouching and...
Along with the debut of the new trailer for Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, due in theaters November 22, 2024, Paramount Pictures has also released a slew of great character posters. Enjoy!
Denzel Washington as the puppet-master with loads of power? Paul Mescal as the gladiator with vengeance? Pedro Pascal as the general destined to cross our hero in the arena? I wasn’t sure we needed another Gladiator film, but this next-generation sequel from director Ridley Scott looks promising in the...
If you were already dying like Lupita Nyong’o’s character Samira, is it strange than an alien invasion would make you feel alive again? A hospice patient, she barely makes the effort to put on street clothes each day and is exasperated at the attempts by the kind nurse (Alex...
A friend of mine laughed when I called Thelma a slow-motion action movie, but it’s true! The biggest moment of nail-biting tension doesn’t involve a gun (though there is one), but a lone elderly woman shuffling across an industrial field in the dark. I swear, that scene made me more...
I love the idea that writer-director Jeff Nichols was so transfixed by a book of 1960s counterculture photojournalism that he was inspired to bring the photos back to life in a narrative movie. The book, The Bikeriders by Danny Lyon, featured photographs and interviews of a Chicago motorcycle gang...
