This article contains spoilers for this weekend’s new Superman movie. Truth, justice, and the American way.

James Gunn’s long-anticipated Superman has the best special effect I’ve seen in a summer blockbuster this year—and I don’t mean the digitally aided flying or fighting. There is plenty of that too, most of it impressive and some of it astonishing. But that’s expected in a superhero movie these days, especially one with as much […]

To say Steven Spielberg’s Jaws was a hit in 1975 is to speak in gross understatement.

Like the title suggests, 28 Years Later takes place a little under three decades after the events of 28 Days Later, a film where the modern world ended in a bloodcurdling scream. Yet when we catch up with director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland’s vision of a post-apocalyptic UK, it doesn’t look like a […]

The first and only time I visited the Catacombs of Paris, I was overwhelmed by the ignominy of the mass tomb. There below the bowels of the City of Lights, hundreds of thousands of those who lived, laughed, loved, and most certainly died found their final resting place not beneath markers of the people they […]
