We’ve finally arrived at the end of the Sacred Wall’s recap of the Best of 2017! It’s time to take a look at the final category, music. As a whole, 2017 was an impressive year for the field, giving us a variety of game-changing, lyrically complex...
There’s nothing more disappointing than when a film with a lot of promise ends up disappointing you. After making the intelligent, provocative Ex Machina, Alex Garland’s adaptation of the best-selling novel Annihilation could have been a...
It’s been a busy week. I’ve been doing some freelance work, as well as making Oscar predictions for the big night next week (I can’t believe this race is almost over). I did see two films in theaters for review, which should be going up later...
How Does The Preferential Ballot Work? Welcome to another edition of Friday Night Dinners! This is my semi-regular segment where I try to break down some sort of Big Picture idea in the realm of pop culture. This week, we’re going to be taking a...
The short films are the red-headed bastard child of the Academy Awards to many people. They are incredibly difficult to see, the people who vote for them are a complete mystery, and the final results are pretty much chance, meaning they are...
The Oscars are a little over a week away. Before I post final predictions, I want to lay out a map for you all about where we are in the race. Because, quite frankly, this is the craziest, most insane year of the Oscars I have ever witnessed. Oh...

The Oscar race continues to become curiouser and curiouser after the BAFTA Awards this weekend, where Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri took home a whopping five BAFTAs, including Best Film, Best British Film, Best Original Screenplay...
As we grow closer to the day of the Oscars, I’m going all out in terms of Oscar viewing. I saw a whopping nine films (technically more if you break them down), and even managed to review one of them. That would be Black Panther, a monumental...
Ed. Note: Last week’s article, The Sacred Wall Awards, have been delayed in order to properly cover all the categories. As I wanted to make sure this Valentine’s Day article went up in time, I am delaying that article until the end of this...
I’m beginning to think that Ryan Coogler can do no wrong. No matter what kind of film he’s making, he manages to combine an intellectually complex story with vibrant filmmaking techniques. He did it in 2013 with his low-budget true-life tragedy...
Another week, another laid-back time for movie watching. While I only saw a couple of films during this period, I did manage to get one review up: Proud Mary. It was…well, it tried. Usually. Not enough, though. I also saw the Oscar nominated The...
