Adam Carter Rehmeier's work has grown on me with each new directorial outing. Diners in America grabbed my attention, and while I wasn't as high on Snack Shack as others, I was again struck by his uncanny ability to capture the Americana of rural small town life. He's also proven himself quite
Living in a world where Speed Racer’s 4K remaster now existsis pretty amazing, and I know I’m not the only person who thinks so. After almost two decades the world is falling in love with The Wachowski Sisters’ masterpiece all over again, as it deserves to be seen. As someone who can
There was a time where the path of a stand up comedian was straight and narrow: create a killer 30 minutes, tour that across the county, wait for the sitcom or movie offer and then convert that special into a Hollywood hit. It was a rinse and repeat method that has led to many of the most famous
Time moves in crazy ways, especially in the world of an entertainment journalist. It feels like yesterday that we were all learning about the shock cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We were all in different places at that point; myself doubly so - as I was at a different outlet.
Indulging every absurd idea that pops into his head, the film unfolds with propulsive vibrance and unshackled execution. That approach turns out to be a bit of a gift and a curse for Riley; a gift in the sense that we get something fresh and original, but a curse because its unbridled approach
As Aleshea Harris walked down to the front for an Is God Is Q&A after the screening, she did so to a standing ovation. The electricity and excitement in the air was palpable as the ovation continued for both legendary actresses Erika Alexander and Vivica A Fox. It's no secret: Aleshea Harris
I'm actually quite fond of irreverent road trip/coming-of-age comedies. I find the simple premise of a ragtag group of unlikely friends taking an unlikely journey for a pretty silly reason (usually a girl) and getting into hijinks along the way a lot of fun. It's a repetitive narrative that never
May the 4th is a holy day for fans of the Star Wars franchise; and it’s all thanks to a clever turn of phrase. Even I, someone who’s fallen out with the post-Rise of Skywalker era of George Lucas’ epic creation, understand that sanctity. That’s part of why I decided to actually show up to
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia proves the old adage that no plan survives contact with the enemy in Ep. 5 "A Snake Shows Its Colors, Man Hides His Colors". Admittedly, the plan isn't even Sitara's plan. It's the plan of her mistress Sorghaghtani. However, it still becomes clear that the whole plan
We all have that one film we saw when we were far too young to see. That one movie that we snuck a peek at when our parents went to bed, or movie hopping at the theater to the R-rated movie you couldn't buy a ticket for, or at your friend's house with parents who didn't care what you watched. What
Daemons of the Shadow Realm shows us one of the most wonderfully executed baited traps in Ep. 17 "Crybaby and Naughty Child". All with the intended target of the trap, a traitor within the ranks of the Kagemoris, taking it hook, line, and sinker. The resulting battle as well as the ripple effects
