It’s been something of a long week over here at the Sacred Wall. Naturally, with the weight of the world taxing everything, the only natural recourse is to turn to pop culture. And while I didn’t get around to seeing anything in theaters this...
When you walk out of Life Itself, you do so in a daze. You feel like you are walking on air. Not because you’ve seen something artistic, or something life affirming, but because you’ve witnessed something truly, utterly, batsh*t insane in its...
As we reach the end of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, we finally have an idea of how the rest of Oscar season will shape up. And yet there’s still room for a few shocks in the system, as the Peter Farrelly historical dramedy Green...
One of the greatest shows of the 21st century surprisingly came from the children’s network Nickelodeon. I’m talking, of course, about Avatar: The Last Airbender. A mature, fantastical extravaganza, Avatar pushed the limits of what children’s...
The Emmys have come and gone, and there were more than a few moments of shocks, surprises, and predictability as the top three awards went to The Assassination of Gianni Versace (duh), Game of Thrones (unsurprising but iffy there), and The...

In a lot of ways, it may have actually worked out in my favor to delay these Oscar predictions until after the festival season had passed. While I haven’t changed my predictions significantly since early August, I do have a stronger look at the...
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before is the cinematic equivalent of drinking straight maple syrup with a straw. It is sweet to a fault, cute to a T, and almost earnest in its quest to make you love it. And yet, that’s exactly what you’ll do. Susan...
There has never been an American movie like Sorry To Bother You. Hell, I don’t think there’s ever been a film quite like Boots Riley’s breakout, at least not since Luis Buñuel died. For just like the famous surrealist, Riley has squeezed...
