How 'Logan' Fits in Trump's America

How 'Logan' Fits in Trump's America

Mar 6th, 2017 Kristen Lopez
Comics, like movies, are texts ripe for deconstruction. Animators and writers deliberately plot their stories for audience entertainment, while simultaneously commenting on the world around us. The power of the comic book is so strong that in 1954 a United States Senate Subcommittee convened to...

Liked 'Logan'? Watch These

Mar 6th, 2017 Bryan Young
Logan, directed by James Mangold, is the third film in the Wolverine trilogy (if you can call it that), the tenth film in Fox’s X-Men series, and a departure from the other films in the X-franchise. Not just because it’s rated R, either. This one is very much a classic genre film, with...

Sight & Sound: the Harmony of 'La La Land' and 'Manchester by the Sea'

Feb 20th, 2017 Greg Mucci
Kenneth Lonergan’s Manchester by the Sea and Damian Chazelle’s La La Land, two Oscar contenders with more differences than similarities, use music in contrasting yet complementary ways. La La Land is a love letter to both the bygone era of movie musicals (shot in Cinemascope, for all you West...

The American Dream and This Year's Oscar Hopefuls

Jan 25th, 2017 Kristen Lopez
Langston Hughes wrote, “What happens to a dream deferred / Does it dry up / Like a raisin in the sun / Or fester like a sore— / And then run?” The American dream came under fire last year by those who felt theirs had been deferred for too long. Hollywood was born on being the “dream...

Jan 23rd, 2017 Eric D. Snider
Day 3: Saturday, Jan. 21 As you probably heard (unless Fox News is your only source of information), there were numerous large protest marches throughout the world today, as people took to the streets to register their dissatisfaction with the latest Underworld movie. No, I kid, it was about...

Eric D. Snider's 2017 Sundance Diary: Day 1-2

Jan 22nd, 2017 Eric D. Snider
Listen! Do you smell that? It's the Sundance Film Festival, back for another year of showcasing new independent films and terrorizing the helpless town of Park City, Utah. The mood is slightly muted this year, partly because there wasn't much pre-festival buzz about any of the films, partly...

The Underworld Movies: What Is the Deal with Them?

Jan 5th, 2017 Brian Salisbury
It’s a common problem. In fact, it happened to so many of you just last weekend. A quiet moment at a particularly raucous New Year’s Eve party created the perfect occasion for that familiar conversation. Your best friend rhetorically jabs: “So we’re all in agreement that Rise of the...
