It’s been a long time since I provided an Oscar prediction column for you all. Actually, it’s been four months. My apologies, I’ve been busy with my other job and didn’t have time to write these, despite being my favorite column. Since that date...
There’s really nothing new in Girls Trip. It’s so clichéd that they literally have a scene introducing characters via “Classic [so-and-so], so uptight all the time,” “Classic [such-and-such], overanalyzing everyone.” If you’re looking for...
When you have a hot property that’s about to end, it can be hard to let go. Usually when this happens, studios will do whatever they can to continue the universe at any cost, regardless of quality. Sometimes this will work out, like Frasier...
It was a big week for me, movie-wise. I’m finally caught up on my movie screenings, which means you can expect another big week for the Sacred Wall. Not only have I finished my overdue review for Girls Trip (coming on Monday), but I’ve also seen...
Armando Iannucci may be the strangest auteur in the business. The creator of great political satires The Thick of It, In the Loop, and Veep, Iannucci has a brilliant talent for elevating swearing into an art form, morphing the discourse to...

What’s up guys? It’s been a while. Yes, my Sundays have been interrupted the past couple of months, meaning I have taken a brief hiatus from the “What I Watched, What You Watched” series. However, I’m back, refreshed, and ready to continue one of...
It’s no secret that Americans are currently obsessed with the true crime documentary genre. Despite excellent entries over the years, from the groundbreaking Thin Blue Line to the Paradise Lost films, television miniseries and specials have...
I get the feeling that Kathryn Bigelow is growing tired with narrative films. Despite setting the bar for action with Point Break, she’s recently been taking on real-life storytelling with a journalistic lens, like the perfect The Hurt Locker...
