The 1990s Were a Golden Age for Period Piece Movies and Literary Adaptations

Recently a friend mentioned how much of a shame it was that, generally speaking, there are few of those backdoor “classic” reimaginings today like the ones we had growing up. And after thinking for a moment, I agreed. Children and teens of the ‘90s were treated to an embarrassment of riches when it came to […]

Death of a Video Game Console: How Each Generation Said Goodbye

Nintendo closes out the end of an era in 2025 with the introduction of the Nintendo Switch 2 and gradual sunsetting of the original Nintendo Switch.

Tom Cruise is acutely aware of this since pretty much all of his franchised efforts in the 2020s have been about the glories of the fading old days and ways. Top Gun: Maverick, for example, explained why we still […]

I thought Syd Mead was dystopian,” many attendees exclaim, as […]

Final Destination: Bloodlines Review – Death’s Welcome Return

It’s been 25 years since the original Final Destination film hit screens and began terrorizing audiences with its deeply memorable (and memeable) Rube Goldberg-like murder tableaus, which get more and more intricate and anxiety-inducing as the franchise goes on. Yet it’s somehow been 14 years since the last entry into the series—the campy, fun, and […]

Hayley Atwell: Peggy Carter Is Still an ‘Underserved Character’

Hayley Atwell and Tom Hiddleston recently concluded a run on the West End of William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. This is perhaps not a surprise. Both thespians have multiple Olivier nominations to their names and are veterans of the Bard, with Atwell at one time being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. And […]

Sinners, Thunderbolts*, and the Need to Rethink IMAX Releases

It’s unquestionable. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a verified box office smash.  The record-breaking film recently achieved another massive feat, taking $33.1 million on its third weekend of domestic release with another impressively small drop of just 27 percent week-on-week despite losing all Premium, Large Format, and IMAX screens to Marvel‘s latest would-be blockbuster, Thunderbolts* (Nee […]

Materialists Teaser Is Such a Throwback It Even Has a ‘Trailer Voice’

Gather round summer children, Zoomers and Alphas alike, for I want to tell of a long ago time when the multiplexes were full and the choice for big screen comedies plentiful. It was a lost age of laughs and tears, and in the best romantic comedies, you’d get both: a feat always promised, too, by […]

Friendship Review: Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson Skewer the Bromance Comedy

It is supposed to be difficult making new friends after 30. This is a truism so agreed upon that the New York Times regularly runs the same article about it, wistfully reminiscing about the halcyon days of a youth passed by. But that’s not always the case, especially for guys like Austin (Paul Rudd), that […]
