On again, off again. In love, out of love. Going back to school, starting a new job. Everything is fluid and everything is changing in the whimsical and lustful drama from French director Jacques Audiard. Capturing the residential district of Les Olympiades in beautiful black and white photography ...

With Disney’s current dominance at the box office, it is difficult to believe it, but they weren’t doing so well (theatrically) in the latter half of the 1980s. They had experienced, especially in the animation realm, a series of costly underperforming features and the sure thing that used ...

“Can I touch your wiener?” After a string of classic and utterly quotable sex comedies that seemed to totally dominate the late-90s through the 2000s (the American Pie series, The 40-Year-Old-Virgin, Sex Drive, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and countless more!), movies that possess that ...

Stepping out of a car and into a cool Los Angeles night, Fantastia (Cynda Williams) enters into the home of what seems to be a good friend. In the background, a couple dances with smiles from ear to ear and another friend tests out his new video camera, taping them having unabashed  ...

I think that we can all agree by now that, despite what classic Disney movies and other fairy tales of our childhood have led us to believe, being a queen (or any other piece of a royal family, to be honest) really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Between the gossip and revelations exposed about a ...

A jealous husband. A murder. An unlucky shmuck. A forbidden love affair. And of course, a femme fatale. Perhaps not one of the most prominent or acclaimed films of its genre, but Fritz Lang’s Human Desire is no doubt the epitome of a film noir. In this, love turns into hate as simmering jealousy  ...

The 1980s is now decades behind us and I consider myself fortunate to have been a Gen X-er, having my formative years during that decade. It produced, in my view, the most creativity and risk taking of any decade of filmmaking. There are classics galore from that time because of those  ...

“How do you like the vacation so far?” By the time this question gets asked in the film, lifelong friends and now literal partners-in-crime, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) cannot help but bust out into ear-to-ear smiles and laughter that have them both absolutely beaming  ...

“I’ll probably get blamed for that.” You ever have one of those super stressful dreams where no matter how hard you try, you have absolutely no control over the surreal and vivid events you’re experiencing? A dream where in the midst of your overwhelming anxiousness and confusion all you  ...

Let’s get this out of the way upfront: If you aren’t a Wes Anderson fan, then it is recommended you stay far, far away from his latest film, Asteroid City. Similarly, if you don’t “get” his brand of filmmaking, there’s really no need to waste your time reading any further, as nothing here is going  ...

When we meet the overly-privileged young Londoner Tony (James Fox), he’s passed out in a makeshift chair in his empty new townhouse with a drink in his hand, only to be awoken by the polite, prospective manservant Hugo Barrett (Dirk Bogarde) reminding him of their 3 p.m ...

Judy Blume’s YA novel called Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is of one of the most challenged and banned books in America. Ever since its publication in 1970, incensed parents, clueless politicians, and bureaucratic administrators have been trying to get it removed from reading lists due to...

Back when dinosaurs walked the earth, sci-fi auteur James Cameron was riding high on the wave of a box office incinerating little movie called Titanic. The man had already proven his metal in varying genres but had faced bad press and studio doubt getting that extraordinary  ...

The 80s produced a massive amount of now legendary comedies. There were franchises galore covering teens, colleges, nerds, cops, farces and surreal comedy galore. Name a classic franchise or just a classic that is still run on TV these days, and you’ll quickly see at least one entry of them  ...

There are few actors out there that I would watch performing paint dry. Denzel Washington is one of those actors. No stranger to being lauded, he would pick up his second Oscar playing a memorable bad guy in 2001’s Training Day ...

To celebrate the release of the Indiana Jones series on blu ray, we offer a four part retrospective article series honouring one of the most beloved franchises in film history ...

Grab your popcorn and settle in, folks! In fact, go ahead and spring for that hot dog too. You’re in for a helluva ride. That puppy-loving hitman, John Wick is back in John Wick: Chapter 4, and he has two things on his mind: revenge and a way out ...

Remakes! They are now a studio staple, with every studio head and producer uttering that terrible commercially driven mantra: existing IP! It rarely produces anything but a watered-down retelling of a once revelatory hit, cheaply relying on nostalgia to make a buck and keeps a lot of original  ...

Every now and then competing studios find themselves making and releasing the same sort of product around the same time. In 1998, Touchstone Pictures (Disney) and Paramount went head-to-head with asteroid disaster ensembles. While Michael Bay’s Armageddon clearly trounced Mimi  ...

Few fictional characters have been through the entertainment wringer as many times as Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan the Ape Man. The subject of dozens of novels, countless comic books, a TV and a radio series, Broadway plays, and more than 200 movies (the oldest  ...

Talk about a toxic relationship! The one shared between Count Dracula (Nicolas Cage) and his handler Robert Montague Renfield (Nicholas Hoult, About a Boy) has gotten so bad that Renfield, a former real estate agent who sold his soul to the Count some 100 years ago, attends a  ...

“Is that what I was so afraid of?” What is the scariest kind of monster? Is it a knife-wielding, masked psychopath wreaking havoc in a small town? Is it an alien creature from another planet that can eat or mimic another species completely? Is it an unpredictable, reconstructed monster made by a mad scientist  ...

A few years back, I got to write a long form article about the Superman films, so if you’re looking for a deep dive then please check out: ‘Superman On the Big Screen: Parts 1-4’.

Well here we are! The final selection of Star Trek movies to enter the UHD format that began with upscaled (but impressive) scans of ‘the Kelvin Timeline’. Paramount have (thankfully) not done the piecemeal thing in The Next Generation movie boxset, like they pulled with the original’s six  ...

War is hell. Nowhere is that notion so vividly illustrated than in Erich Maria Remarque’s 1920 novel All Quiet on the Western Front. While Remarque’s story was brought to life in previous adaptations (1930 followed by 1979), we are reminded yet again of the novel’s significance in Edward  ...
