I was so looking forward to Serenity when the first trailer came out. As a fan of the film noir genre, and especially the neo-noir subgenre, the promise of a sexy noir thriller starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, written and directed...
I used to be so good at predicting the Academy Awards. From The King’s Speech through Birdman, I would get all of the top awards right, especially Best Picture. However, as the Academy started changing up its membership, doubling down on the...
If you remember back at the beginning of the year, I named the then-untitled Danny Boyle-Richard Curtis romantic musical comedy Yesterday as my #2 most anticipated of 2019. Between the interesting premise, the great creative team, and the promise...
It’s always disappointing when a great dictator shoves their head up their own ass. That’s what Vice often feels like: while Adam McKay is a fine director, and there’s some great moments in editing and especially acting, there is a sense of...
