Writer/Director Todd Haynes is no stranger to the world of rock music. Among the dramas and thrillers of his filmography are music centric films such as Velvet Goldmine and I’m Not There. He’s now ready to unleash his first officially documentary onto the world; an “in-depth” look at the revolutionary rock band, The Velvet Underground….
Though he’s been making films for close to 20 years (and with co-writer Chris Bergoch for the last 8), it’s only in the past few years that Sean Baker has been making waves with the general public. Following the success of The Florida Project, Baker is back with another slice of the less explored factions of…
From modern interpretations to religiously stalwart presentations, the works of Shakespeare have been brought to audiences in many forms. One of his most well known works, Macbeth, has seen its own share of attempts. In his first film without his brother Ethan, Joel Coen has created what many people might end up deeming, the best…
What have you heard about Titane, so far? What do you know about Julia Ducournau and her previous (debut) film, Raw? It should be said for any film; go in as blindly as you can. The less you know, the better. In preparation to write this review, I see that that IMDB description gives away…
Rehashing trends is nothing new in Hollywood. If a genre or type of story hits big, expect to see clones not too far behind. Try to count on your hands how man Zombie, Time Loop, and of course…Revenge flicks you’ve seen, or heard of in your life time. Even if the premise is tired and…
Truly great films have the best of both worlds. On one end, they’re well crafted visual delights that entertain and engage an audience. At the other end, they are carried by strong themes that philosophize and explore the deeper mysteries of the world. Most of the time these two entities share a common space. They…
It’s fair to say that Don’t Breathe was a runaway hit. It doesn’t matter if you liked it or not, it was popular and it took a lot of people by surprise. There was never a question that a sequel was on its way. Stephen Lang (The Blind Man) himself has been ready to continue…
Arthurian tales have always been a wealth of resources for story-tellers through the years. Yet, we keep getting the same old stories or Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and Merlin being told over and over again. Different takes on the same point of legend get old, pretty fast. Enter David Lowery, with his interpretation of the anonymously…
G.I. Joe was instrumental in creating the action figure craze. From toys, to comics, to T.V. shows…the brand at one point was unstoppable. The jump to live action films was a no-brainer. The output of the the early millennia attempts could best be described as, silly. Now, the Snake Eyes origin story is here, and…
Predictable, tiresome, overdone, cliche…all terms I probably use for the majority of films I see. It’s hard to be original and different when we’re drowning in oceans of content at this point. And yes, while some of those words can be used to describe certain aspects of Werewolves Within— as it isn’t in any form…
A film’s length should ultimately count as nothing. Whether it’s the typical 90 or 120 minute run time; if a filmmaker does their job right the running time is arbitrary. With that being said, when I saw the running time for Italian Studies was under 90 minutes I was overjoyed. To me, this meant there…
