The heart of awards season doesn’t begin until early February, but that won’t stop the critics’ groups from sticking to their original schedule. And that’s exactly where we are today, as the 2020 Gotham Awards have officially kicked off awards...
There’s just something magical about watching a genre film done right. Whereas drama and comedy possess so many subcategories underneath their broad umbrella, a great genre film, like horror, sci-fi, or romantic comedy stands out as all the more...
