Hubie Halloween ⭐️⭐️ I’d say it’s even money if Sandler tries to make the worst comedy movie ever. Surely it would be funny if his team tried, and maybe the reality is they attempt to make a movie so bad that it’s meant to be funnier? How does one set out to make an intentionally […]
Will Adam Sandler Really Try To Make The Worst Comedy Movie Ever?
After Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie)’s only son Walter (Gattlin Griffith) goes missing, she reaches out to the LAPD to help her find him. They find a boy fitting her son’s description five months later, but she insists that he is not her son. This is a film I was always aware of since its release […]

The In-and-Out Bandit – Honest Thief (2020)
Patty Jenkins has been honest in recent “Wonder Woman 1984” interviews about what it’s like to clash with a Hollywood studio over a comic book tentpole. The director has detailed battles against Warner Bros. over the original ending to “Wonder Woman” and over the double opening of “Wonder Woman 1984,” but Jenkins was at her…
I’m not going to lie—I almost didn’t make a top ten list of my favorite films released in 2020. It was a weird year with a lot of movies that I enjoyed but wasn’t frequently blown away by, not to mention the fact that I have a pile of films I haven’t gotten to watch […]
Höstsonaten: Güz Sonatı (İnceleme) Öncelikle Ingmar Bergman sinemasına bakmamız gerekiyor; 1918 yılında İsveç’in Uppsala kentinde doğan Ingmar Bergman çocukluğu trajedik olaylar yüzüne sıkıntılı geçer, bir nevi “Sevgisiz” büyümüştür. Filmlerinde hep Tanrı’yı aramıştır. Her ne kadar babası papaz olsa da hazıra konmamış ve hep bir arayış içerisinde olmuş ve sorgulamıştır ki bu Kış Işığı filmine bakılırsa […]

“Bence kariyer denen şey bir 20. yüzyıl icadıdır ve ben bir kariyer istemiyorum.”
The Alliance of Women Film Journalists have announced that their pick for the best of 2020 is Nomadland. Just as the AWFJ did with their nominations, they announced the winners in an exclusive for Variety. Fear not, though — my picks for the best of 2020 will be released exclusively to this site. Two can […]
The Alliance of Women Film Journalists Honor Nomadland
They called them “B-Movies:” genre films (westerns, noir, horror, sci-fi, etc.) made on shoestring budgets with leads played by actors, not stars; directors who were journeymen, not auteurs. The 1950s were their heyday, and they played great on a rainy Saturday afternoon. They looked disposable then but watching them now is like discovering a cultural […]
Thanks to my parents I watched my fair share of epic films growing up. The big three that we would watch at least once a year were Ben-Hur (1959), The Ten Commandments (1956) and Spartacus (1960). The latter is set out as a (very loose) retelling of the story of Spartacus (a real person by […]
My Thoughts on: Spartacus (1960)
It’s hard to keep track of all the TV shows available to us, but 2020 did treat us to some gems. This post won’t necessarily be highlighting shows released solely in 2020 but shows that caught my attention throughout the year. Here are the best TV shows I watched in 2020. The Boys (Season 2): […]
Death of a Cyclist (Muerte de un ciclista) (1955) Death of a Cyclist is a Spanish-language film that was the winner of the FIPRESCI Award at the 1955 Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Juan Antonio Bardem (Main Street (1956)), this social realist film tells of a couple of secret, privileged lovers residing in Madrid who are involved […]
Every moment he felt that … he was drawing nearer and nearer to what terrified him. —Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich Ivan Beckman (Danny Huston) is one of those Hollywood agents that earn enough to afford a home in the hills, but not a palatial one. Parties enough to have a reputation, but not hard […]
Natalie was an architect who hated PG-13 romantic comedies. Along with her low self-esteem prevented her from meeting her someone special. So despite her best friend telling her that her work buddy had a crush on her, she doubted it. One day, she was mugged at the subway station and woke […]
Movie Review: Isn’t It Romantic?
The Crawleys go to Duneagle Castle to celebrate Christmas with the MacClares. Unfortunately, when the Crawleys return, tragedy strikes. This was a feature length Christmas special episode that wrapped up series 3 back in 2012 and was also Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens)’s final episode. Watching this show back again after seeing the original run feels […]
Downton Abbey: A Journey to the Highlands (2012)
4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking. I should admit that, despite the title of this post, I’m not really […]
4 Shots From 4 Films: The Best of 2020 Edition
Can you believe I watched this for the first time this year? What attracted many has kept me away: the spectre of actor Brandon Lee’s actual death. Brandon Lee, son of Bruce, was filming a scene like almost any other in the movie. It was a film about vigilante justice, heavy on violence. Michael Massee, […]
Every year, the American Legion hosts a thousand 17-year-old boys from Texas and has them build a representative government from the ground up. Every state but Hawaii does the same or similar, but this particular documentary is hanging around Austin, Texas, to witness their particular experience. High schools nominate which students will be sent, ostensibly […]
