Song Review: From Bluebirds to Breakups
Lana Del Rey’s two newest singles, “Henry, Come On” and “Bluebird,” showcase the musician’s ever evolving artistic capability. By blending her signature melancholic style with hints of both Americana and Southern Gothic influences, the singer-songwriter has once again left fans begging for more. The two latest tracks are a part of Del Rey’s upcoming album […]
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl
When people talk about anime films, the conversation usually relates to movies made by Studio Ghibli or are connected in some way to a popular television series. Rarely do films outside of these two criteria get mentioned in popular discussion, which is a shame. I’ve found many of these more obscure movies to be just […]
Movie Review: To Live is to die Again
For many people, their introduction to South Korean director Bong Joon Ho, was from the immense success of his previous film “Parasite” in 2019. His latest work, “Mickey 17,” pulls ideas from many of Joon Ho’s earlier works while also adapting the sci-fi novel “Mickey 7.” The film presents a fascinating dystopian sci-fi world that […]
Movie Review: The Brutalist
The opening scene of “The Brutalist” is spellbinding and gives the initial impression that this is a film that attempts to be larger than life. You begin with a dizzying closeup of our lead character, Lazlo Thoth, played by Adrian Brody, as he arrives in New York by boat after escaping the Holocaust. Thoth makes […]
Movie Review: The Original Vampire Rises Again
In our modern entertainment age, it is easy to be cynical about the number of remakes of older films there are over wholly original stories. Nowadays, I find myself far more interested in watching original movies over these remakes unless they truly do something unique with the source material. Robert Eggers’s film “Nosferatu” achieves that […]
Movie Review: A Chaotic, Funny Cinderella Story
“Anora” is one of those films that once I heard about it, I was curious as to what sort of a tone it would take its story in. Director Sean Baker’s films are primarily character pieces that focus on people who rarely get as much attention in the media. “Anora” fits this bill […]
Movie Review: Family Cares for Each Other, No Matter What
A Real Pain was a surprising film for me as until about a few weeks ago I had never even heard of it due to a severe lack of advertisement for the film. The film is directed by actor Jessie Eisenberg who in recent years has become more involved in cinema than just acting with […]
Movie Review: A Smile is Contagious…
The original “Smile” by Parker Finn movie was one I put off watching until just recently when I was preparing to see its anticipated sequel. The movie focuses on a paranormal curse that causes those afflicted by it to experience visions of people smiling eerily at them causing their minds to question what […]
Movie Review: A Film 40 Years in the Making!
Francis Ford Coppola may sound familiar to some as the director behind some of the most critically acclaimed films of all time, such as The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now. Despite immense successes, Coppola has not had a theatrical release in over a decade until now with the release of his newest […]
Summer Blockbuster Reviews
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (May 8, 2024) The follow-up to the immensely popular Planet of the Apes reboot trilogy and one that looks to be extremely promising. It harkens back to an older form of sci-fi that we rarely see put on the big screen anymore. The film takes place a century […]
