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...
Man, did I go hard this week in terms of movies for you guys (Ok, I did it for myself). I mean, take a look at what I watched in theaters – not one, not two, but three new releases, all ready to be reviewed. In fact, my review for Crazy Rich...
The loss of innocence and the revitalization of life is one of the oldest and most beloved tales in Western mythology. From It to The Little Prince, from It’s a Wonderful Life to Mary Poppins, variations on these ideas can be found etched into...
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.

Everything about Eighth Grade feels like a tiny miracle. It’s a miracle that stand-up comedian Bo Burnham could make the transition to filmmaking so seamlessly. It’s a miracle that he had this insight into the mind of a thirteen-year-old girl...
It was another quiet week here at the Sacred Wall, although you could call that the calm before the storm. I’ve spent several days this week putting the finishing touches on articles and reviews, and I’m hoping to have those up sporadically...
The 80s were an insane time for television, particularly for family sitcoms. From the coke-fueled writers rooms in Hollywood directly into the living rooms of Middle America, we sat through shows about robot daughters, hippie parents, and Bob...
Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially in the pre-season for the Oscar race. After the TIFF lineup announcement last week, we now have a lineup for the Venice Film Festival – a festival that has given us three of our last four Best Picture...
Welcome back, everyone! You may not have gone anywhere or done anything special this week, but I’m just settling in after a nice vacation. Because I’ve been gone, I haven’t had a chance to go to the movies very often. However, I did manage to see...
