Television shows that begin with stellar pilots and first seasons seem to paradoxically be worse off than shows that struggle at first. Seinfeld and 30 Rock had rough first episodes before building up to the classics we know and love today, while...
The 70th Cannes Film Festival officially came to a close this past Sunday, and while insiders claim that his festival was “a bit of a dud,” my outsider’s perspective thinks this may have been one of the best festivals in years.
It would take a lot of effort for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to be worse than On Stranger Tides. It’s such a low bar that this fifth movie in the saga of Jack Sparrow hurdles it with ease. Furthermore, contrary to mostly...
I believe I have mentioned on this site previously that the best documentaries come from the ones you don’t expect to make. For example, The Act of Killing isn’t a remarkable film because the filmmakers interview mass murderers about their...
They say your first James Bond is the one that will be your favorite forever. My first Bond was technically Pierce Brosnan, and it’s true I really like him in the role. However, I didn’t really begin watching Bond until I saw Sir Roger Moore. So...
Sorry I missed last week’s What I Watched, What You Watched. I was out of town for Mother’s Day, and hadn’t seen enough movies to make an interesting article. Luckily, I’ll provide this double week issue now to make it up to you. I saw two movies...

Sony has been in something of a tight spot for years. You see, one of their hottest screenplays has been for the solo Venom movie. Based on the beloved comic book villain/antihero (based on who’s writing it at the time) and enemy of Spider-Man...
We now continue our breakdown of the Top 100 Greatest Films of All Time! Last week, we looked at #90-81, which consisted predominantly of films from the late 60s and early 70s that dealt with the era’s nihilistic fury, as well as the power of...
13 Reasons Why is arguably the most talked about show in America right now. Everybody and their mother has an opinion on the dark mystery/teen message show, split right down the middle between those who find its themes and story highly important...
If I say the phrase “the 89th Academy Awards,” I’m going to assume the only thing you remember is the Infamous Snafu where the wrong name was read and the show ended in disarray as the Moonlight team took the stage to take the Oscars back from...
