Some comedies are just dumb fun and to be honest that’s okay. But this film does something a little different. Sure, it’s filled with crude jokes, inappropriate costumes and ridiculous scenarios, but underneath all that chaos is a movie that’s strangely wholesome. It’s the kind of film that makes you laugh way more than you’d…
At first glance, it seems like another Clint Eastwood tough-guy film, a simple tale of an old man and a troubled neighborhood. But beneath that, it’s something much deeper. It’s about redemption, understanding, and the unexpected ways people change each other. Clint Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski, a bitter, aging war veteran who wants nothing more…
Some movies stay with you for their storytelling, others for their visuals, and some just leave you thinking, What did I just watch? Immortals (2011) falls somewhere in between. Directed by Tarsem Singh, this film takes Greek mythology and gives it a distinct visual style—something that looks like a Renaissance painting brought to life, mixed…
Well, now think about a movie that took 12 years to finish because director Richard Linklater wanted to make a movie about growing up and decided it would be interesting to film it using the same actors for all stages of the story. That’s Boyhood (2014). It’s not just a coming-of-age story—it literally grows up…
The Sandman was an epic, award-winning comic series. There had never been anything like it before, and the originality was impressive on every level. It was adapted to a live action series on Netflix, and while they changed a lot (largely ties to the rest of the DC Universe), it was very well done. The first season comes to an end (sort of) with “Lost Hearts.”
I recently discovered a TV series that really grabbed my attention in a way that’s rare these days. Person of Interest, created by Jonathan Nolan, tells a gripping story over its five seasons that mixes action with deep moral questions. The show is set in a near-future New York City where there’s this super-smart AI…
As the season draws towards a close, things are getting stranger and stranger for Dream and the people in his orbit. The Lord of Dreams still has to deal with reclaiming lost items from his time in captivity, the complex problem of Rose the Dream Vortex, and some weird ripples throughout his lands.
There are a lot of interesting interactions in the Dreaming and the waking world as the various cast members are “Playing House.”
Few days ago I wanted to check my IMDb account and while I was searching for a new movie to watch, I realized that I’ve seen every title in the top 250 list. And I think this was the moment that I accepted I’m a cinephile enough to argue with someone about the kings of cinema…
The Sandman has a very complicated history. While the title was part of the Vertigo line, it was still part of the wider DC Universe, and some heroes and villains came in and out of the book. They’ve made the decision to not bring in any superhero characters, so some slightly different versions of some of these characters appear in the series.
