Book Review: Chasing the Light by Oliver Stone (2020)
Posted on: 11 Jul 2021
Celebrity memoirs can be highly entertaining reads but rarely make for great literature. They are often gossipy fluff pieces that glaze over their authors’ harsher truths to focus on the success and glamour their luck, work, and talent has brought them. Oliver Stone’s recent memoir doesn’t glaze over his harsher truths, they are the book’s […]

Guardians Vol. 3 Is the Only Upcoming Marvel Movie That Matters
Posted on: 11 Jul 2021
It’s been four years since we last saw our favorite Marvel misfits grace theater screens in their own movie.

Glass (2019) Review
Posted on: 13 Jun 2021
Glass is the completion of M. Night Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy that also consists of 2000’s Unbreakable and 2016’s Split. While Glass’ screenplay suffers from a number of contrivances that easily could have been fixed, Shyamalan’s execution still manages to make the film an overall success. Bruce Willis is underused (most likely for budgetary reasons) as […]

Posted on: 24 May 2021
Zack Snyder is a great filmmaker who has yet to make his definitive masterpiece. He perhaps never will. He may very well be destined to create flawed, overstuffed, obsessively and minutely detailed, innovative-to-the-point-of-being-distracting, and overwhelmingly bold movies for the rest of his career. And, if appearances are not deceiving, that should suit him and his […]

Posted on: 23 Apr 2021
Above Suspicion Director Phillip Noyce returns to full form with this marvelously crafted, reality-based, and character-driven thriller. Feeling like it should have been made in a previous decade, Above Suspicion is the kind of intelligent and adult-oriented movie we don’t see enough of, anymore. The revelatory and provocative film hits all the right notes and […]
