As per usual, the Telluride Film Festival has held off until the Thursday before to announce their schedule. And as per usual, it seems incredibly likely that this year’s Best Picture winner will be on this list of films.
Tomorrow, the Venice International Film Festival will kick off the fall festival season, and effectively kick-start the Oscar race. Coupled with the Telluride Film Festival this weekend, we will soon have a likely frontrunner for Best Picture...
Man, have I had a downer week of film watching. Not necessarily because the films were bad – some were actually quite good. It’s just that everything I watched was so depressing. I mean, if you don’t believe me, just look at the only two new...
The Happytime Murders is brought to you by the letter B, as in “Bad.” And lest you think I’m being lazy using this joke, don’t worry – the film uses some variation on it within the first ten minutes. For despite its occasional funny joke or sight...
Every year when I predict the Oscars, there’s always one film that I never take seriously until it’s too late. From Room to Moonlight to The Shape of Water, I always write the film off until a first trailer comes along to prove me wrong. This...
Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t take any risks to upend its story. It’s perfectly content telling a Hallmark-esque classical rom-com/chick flick to the best of its abilities. It knows exactly who it is for. It’s for your mom, who enjoys a good Saturday...

I didn’t have a chance to see any new releases this week, which is a bit disappointing to me because of the great new films (like BlacKkKlansman) or awesome dumb films (I really want to see The Meg, you guys). However, I did manage to see a whole...
In what may be the biggest news out of the Academy in twenty years, President John Bailey has announced three new rules and dates regarding the Oscars, and the results are truly shocking.
Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! is a lot like the cosmo I inevitably had to buy before the film in order to get in the right mindset. The first sip is way too sweet, as if it is overcompensating for something. Then the aftertaste of the alcohol...
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has certainly been on a roll its first three seasons. It’s first season was perfect, the second season was bold, and the third took risks that landed it a position as the best show of 2017. It’s tackled a variety of issues...
