I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! For me, a decent week of movie watching was cut short by my father’s desire to see Tag for his special day, but hey, you can’t win them all. And at least the film isn’t unwatchable. You can...
After the success of The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast, it is no surprise that Disney is going to double down on remaking all of their beloved animated films. With The Lion King and Aladdin both finishing up production, Disney is hoping...
Another week, another eclectic assortment of movies. I didn’t watch a whole lot this week (to be explained in the next two paragraphs), but I did see two films that I’ll be reviewing soon: Best F(r)iends: Part 2, which is such an odd experience I...
Tonight, we will find out the winner of 72nd Annual Tony Awards. This is a remarkably challenging year, with many upsets certainly in the stars. So I thought in the few hours we have remaining, we could take a look at what’s in contention, what’s...
If there’s one film that’s been on critics and prognosticators’ lips for a while now, it’s A Star Is Born. Arguably the most influential Hollywood screenplay of all time, the film was originally made in 1937, remade in its most famous form in...

You know, we really take Spike Lee for granted. While he does misstep from time to time, and he hasn’t made a truly great film in a few years, his films are always fascinating and revolutionary, from Malcolm X to 25th Hour to Inside Man to the...
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! I hope you enjoyed a great week of pop culture, even if Hollywood is still in a post-Avengers wave and still settling into a groove of things. As mentioned, I didn’t see any new films this week, but I...
It’s been an insane week for television fans, as the networks have made some of the most insane choices I have ever seen, with cancellations and renewals cast about at record speed with seemingly zero thought put into them. By now you’ve probably...
There’s a certain lack of risk that exists in modern day filmmaking. Where once films like Taxi Driver, Chinatown, and Bonnie and Clyde told daring stories where the graphic content was paired perfectly with emotional weight and consequence and...
