Sigh. It’s come to this, like I knew it would. The Worst Films of 2019. Honestly, I considered not even doing a list for last year. It honestly wasn’t that bad of a year. While there were a handful of disappointments, most of the films I saw at...
Let us return to our reflections on the Best of 2019 with another ode to the world of pop culture. At the beginning of the year, I made a promise to keep up to date on every TV show to receive buzz and acclaim. As it turns out, there are a lot of...
I’ve been holding onto my Oscar predictions for quite some time. While the current list of predictions has remained unchanged since I first wrote it back in March, a certain pandemic made the whole thing feel sort of…slight, in the face of...
Zack Snyder has been slowly coming back in recent days. After famously getting fired from his own film for bungling it (not that the studio did a much better job with it), and then stepping away from the spotlight because of a horrific family...
We’re another week closer to the upcoming September Sweep (the name I’m giving to the fall season where Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu will drop a new Oscar contender pretty much once a week until the end of the year). I’ve been mostly spending this...
2019 was a strikingly good year for TV – a detail I learned due to a New Year’s Resolution to watch as many shows as possible once they were praised by the public lexicon. It was a year where beloved long-running shows came to an end, new shows...
Jon Stewart left his beloved show five years ago, and since then there’s been no one to cut through the bullsh*t. We’ve witnessed this country go farther divided than any point in the last fifty years, bolstered by a media that feeds off that...
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: the best weapon a horror film can possess is a clear sense of dramatic irony. From Psycho to Halloween to It Follows, the best horror films work not because of cheap amusement park jump...
I hope you’ve all had a pleasant first week of August, and I hope you all enjoyed the influx of Sacred Wall content I’ve prepared for you all. Incidentally, I only saw one new movie this week, as I’m still binge watching all sorts of quality...
With the days of Harry Potter and The Hunger Games long behind us, studios have been scrambling to capture the audiences that once religiously turned out every few years for a fantastical adventure filled with magic, wonder, and a couple of...
I’ve been thinking a lot in recent days about Judas and the Black Messiah, and how so many of my fellow pundits have been sleeping on it. While director Shaka King is relatively unproven, it’s still a production that cannot be overlooked. It’s...
There are few writers in Hollywood as insanely brilliant as Chralie Kaufman. After breaking out in 1999 with his insane look at loneliness and fame in Being John Malkovich, he has tackled the complexities of life in a variety of bizare ways, from...
