The Baroque Delights of Crimson Peak

Apr 16th, 2021 Josh Bell
The 2015 Gothic horror romance from @RealGDT, now streaming on Netflix, is one of his very best films – haunted and haunting, chilling and lovelorn.

Sep 4th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Disney’s latest live-action remake (available at premium pricing on Disney+) stumbles a bit in the transition, but the new film’s fresh (and refined) elements are worth your consideration.

Watch This: Get Duked!

Aug 28th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Perhaps the best way to gauge your potential enjoyment of the newly-streaming British comedy Get Duked! is by your reaction to the film’s biggest joke. How much do you enjoy the idea of watching venerated actor James Cosmo--Game of Thrones’ Commander Mormot--gleefully tripping balls on rabbit...

Watch This: Random Acts of Violence

Aug 21st, 2020 Abby Olcese
Random Acts of Violence isn’t the cleanest or cleverest of horror movies, but it displays a grindhouse ambition that’s worth paying attention to.

Watch This: Boys State

Aug 14th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Boys State begins with a famous quote from George Washington’s farewell address about the potential danger of political parties, warning the American people that the system which helped the country get its start could just as easily be its downfall. While watching the film, it’s hard not to...

Aug 7th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Simon Rich is an extremely gifted satirist. The former SNL writer is also the mastermind behind the FX cult comedy Man Seeking Woman and the TBS show Miracle Workers, as well as many short stories and a few novels – all of which contain some element of absurdity and metaphor. Rich’s stories...

Jul 24th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Being a teenager in the early 2000s was its own brand of confusion. Right at the beginning of the digital age, we were only just starting to have discussions about privacy and online identity. Chatrooms, GeoCities sites, and AOL Instant Messenger exposed us to new ideas and questions, with very...

Jul 17th, 2020 Abby Olcese
War movies tend to fall into two camps. There are the ones like 1917, Dunkirk, or Saving Private Ryan that focus on the mental and emotional impact of battle on those fighting it, and there are ones more concerned with the technical and strategic aspects of the events depicted, like Tora! Tora!...

Watch This: The Old Guard

Jul 10th, 2020 Abby Olcese
The Old Guard wants to be the first entry in a franchise very, very badly. Based on the first entry, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and written by Greg Rucka (adapted from his comic series of the same name), that desire is warranted. The Old Guard is populated by complex characters with full...

Watch This: Hamilton

Jul 2nd, 2020 Abby Olcese
In the five years since Hamilton’s debut, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical has saturated popular culture to the point of parody. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know the show’s opening lines, or doesn’t have “The Schuyler Sisters,” “My Shot” or “You’ll Be Back” floating...

Jun 19th, 2020 Abby Olcese
Olivier Assayas’ Wasp Network, out this weekend on Netflix, is an intriguing entry in the prolific auteur’s catalog. This espionage thriller about the Miami Five – a group of Cuban intelligence officers arrested by the U.S. government in 1998 – hews a little more closely to Assayas’s...

Watch This: The King of Staten Island

Jun 12th, 2020 Abby Olcese
In recent years, Judd Apatow’s work as a director and a producer has taken on a decidedly more mature and bittersweet tone. His earlier days directing movies like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up presaged this, but hid their vulnerability beneath a thick haze of weed and sex jokes. Films...

If you’re one of the many folks looking forward to the Disney + release of Hamilton in July, good news: you can get a head start on uplifting Broadway hip-hop content with We Are Freestyle Love Supreme. The Hulu documentary, out this weekend, charts the course of the improv hip-hop collective...
