I guess we're really Dune this

To me, that's cinema

SANTA! I know him! I know him!

Twitter had many thoughts

I kind of wish that the film noir genre still existed today outside of Batman movies. Was I counting down the days until The Batman , starring Robert Pattinson, came out? Absolutely I was. But do I wish that we had movies like Mildred Pierce coming out today? Again, absolutely. In the modern mind, noir mostly exists as a parody. There's the detective who talks funny, there's the gorgeous femme fatale he's in love with, there's some kind of murder. These elements are easy to parody and exaggerat…

I remember the first time I ever watched the 1957 Sidney Lumet classic 12 Angry Men . I was in my high school Speech class, and instead of dedicating the entire class period to us watching this movie, my teacher just put it on while we did other work and talked.

There's got to be some of you out there

Writers can be so cruel

So you're telling me that Davy Jones could have been cruising on land this whole time?

Initially, it was rumored that comedian Amy Schumer would cinch the titular role, but after much backlash, it was revealed that Margot Robbie would be playing everyone's favorite fashion doll. Barbie is such an iconic internatio…

This year's Oscars went off without a hitch! I know many of us tuned into the 95th Academy Awards last night to see how many hack jokes about The Slap would happen, and I was one of those people! Jimmy Kimmel did…fine as the host. We had one big upset in the category of Best Supporting Actress with Jamie Lee Curtis beating Angela Bassett. The two main winners of the night were All Quiet on the Western Front and Everything Everywhere All At Once . Everything Everywhere All At Once is now the mos…

Was your favorite movie snubbed?

I have to return some videotapes

Some say that all Hollywood is these days is unoriginal sequels and remakes , and they aren't entirely wrong. However, not all franchises are created equally, and there are some crappy remakes that I will always be willing to see. My favorite franchises that have been repeatedly rehashed are Batman and Willy Wonka. I'm still conflicted over whether the OG Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) is better than the remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). The remake came out when I w…
