2016…2016 can go f**k itself. Between the horrors in the political field, a series of subpar movies and the unending deaths of beloved celebrities and roll models (I found out Carrie Fisher died as I sat down to write this), 2016 is probably going to be long remembered as a just plain …
2016 was a bad year just…just overall. Bad for movies, bad for politics, really bad for celebrity deaths…good for music though. But it’s almost over, and with it comes our best and our worst lists of the year. And I’ve been pining to do this list for a few months …
One trend I’ve been absurdly grateful for in the last few years is the return to Smart Sci-Fi, IE sci-fi movies where the focus is more on being a good story and having engaging characters, than on ridiculous high octane action (although, having those doesn’t hurt). The last few years …
What the Hell happened to Kevin Smith? I’m sorry. I’ve tried to find a better, more diplomatic way to sum up my initial reaction to this movie several times now. I’ve gone over numerous drafts of this for review, and really, that is the question I keep coming back to …
I’ve always found conspiracy theories fascinating. Not in the “I believe them” sense. More in the “What is wrong with this person that causes them to believe this absurd thing” sense. And maybe, occasionally, sometimes, in the “Let’s laugh at this person” sense, although I do try and feel guilty …
I think it’s fair to say that Park Chan-wook is the most famous Korean director, at least in America (although Shin Sang-ok might give him a run for his money, albeit for reasons mostly unrelated to his actual movies). When people in America think of Korean movies, they almost inevitably …
Marvel is famous for breaking into new genres with flare and savviness, making each fit its own image as well as giving audience what they expect. Esoteric films are not a major genre per se, but as wizardry and magic have become ever more popular, now was as good a …
While a lot of Ringu knockoffs pulled directly from its aesthetics, not a lot of them were interested in its themes, IE the relationship between the technological future and the spiritual past. Oh sure, it was kind of there in One Missed Call, with the ghost possessing a cell phone, but it …
We apologize for the lateness of this post, life has been…overwhelming me. Ah Takashi Miike. He’s such a fascinating filmmaker. He blows through film productions at a speed that would have Tyler Perry telling him to slow down, and often with a similar level of predictability. The difference is (besides …
Seasonal rom-coms have been all but killed by those massive ensemble cast movies that started with Love Actually. But in 1998, before all of that forced pandering, we got a Halloween themed rom-com that piggy-backed of the witch trend without falling into the awkward hole that was using teenagers as the …
