How does one follow up a once-in-a-generation film? That’s the question that Across the Spider-Verse poses, a follow-up to the 2018 masterpiece (I don’t use this word lightly) Into the Spider-Verse. The first film was rightly hailed as one of the...
I’m not sure there’s any director around who understands “spectacle” quite like Jordan Peele. He’s already made one perfect film in Get Out, and he followed it up with arguably the smartest (perhaps too smart? Debatable) horror film in decades...
In all my years of watching the Oscars, I have never seen a show so simultaneously predictable (dare I say, boring?) and chaotic at the same time. While Chloé Zhao’s powerful Nomadland won the top prize of Best Picture, as was expected, the rest...
Tomorrow night, the 27th SAG Awards will officially christen the Oscar with its picks for the best performers of 2020. It’ll be an interesting ceremony: instead of the usual ballroom with bits and tributes and such, this year the ceremony will be...
Every year, the hardest category to predict is far and away Best Supporting Actor. There’s always a ridiculous amount of great supporting performances, and it’s always hard to determine who will end up shining through. And that’s before the...
Huh. Well, seems that’s what awards are going to look like over the next few months. The 78th Golden Globe Awards have come to an end, and it was…a mixed bag. Awards-wise, it’s hard not to be happy – Nomadland and Borat Subsequent Moviefilmwon...
It has been several decades since a film has managed to capture the sheer energy of the 70s auteurs. And I don’t just mean on an aesthetic level, although the crackling 35mm appearance of lush urban decay certainly possesses a power that many...
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...
I’ve said before, and I will say until the end of time that my childhood was relatively simple in terms of the things I enjoyed. In the same way that today’s children are obsessed with Paw Patrol and Vampirina, mine could be boiled into three...
Well gang, it’s finally (almost) over! Tonight, twenty actors and actresses will be entering the Dolby Theater to see if all of their dreams will come true, whether it’s their first, second, or (theoretically) fourth. Twenty people enter, four...
My thoughts on the horror genre are pretty much old hat around these parts. I’m not its biggest fan, but I can appreciate it when I see it, and when it raises the bar, I oftentimes love it. We’re in something of a horror boon, with several great...
