The show’s biggest flaw; its inability to decide if it wants to be heartfelt or farcical; is also, weirdly, its strength. Life, as Too Much
We’ve all been there. Or if we haven’t, we’ve hovered awkwardly near the edge, pretending to examine a bottle of shampoo while someone else’s emotional
The film’s emotional core, though, is a quiet scene in Kansas. Just a conversation between a son and his parents (Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva
Let me preface this with a confession that might get me canceled at brunch: I love Woody Allen movies. There. I said it. I realize
If Night of the Living Dead was Romero’s Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan moment, The Crazies was his concept album no one understood until three decades later, probably while
It’s 4:17 PM. You’ve been in the airport since roughly the Truman administration. The air smells like burnt Starbucks and the fear sweat of business

Every few months, without fail, something wonderful happens in the land of cinema. A rumble is heard. A leather boot steps into frame. Somewhere, a

In the end, Boyle hasn’t mellowed with age. He’s just become sharper, meaner, and more deliberate. He doesn’t just want to scare you; he wants
Let me start with a warning: Jennifer Lynch’s Chained is not a movie you casually throw on during date night unless your idea of a

After watching, I felt exhilarated and mildly ashamed of how emotionally invested I was in the fate of a man who carries a shield and
The Life of Chuck is the most beautiful film I’ve seen in years. It doesn’t shout. It hums. It weeps. It dances. And if you
