Jaws Left Steven Spielberg in Tears for Years While Hiding on the Theme Park Ride

To say Steven Spielberg’s Jaws was a hit in 1975 is to speak in gross understatement. As only the second movie to ever enjoy a wide Hollywood release—and more crucially the first to change moviegoing habits forever when it became the highest grossing movie up to that point—Jaws was more than a phenomenon in the […]

28 Years Later Represents Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s Fear of Social Regression

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.

Andor Is Making Star Wars Culturally Relevant Again

This past weekend, I participated in the No Kings March in Manhattan. Despite rain and unusually cool weather for mid-June, the event at times felt like a cathartic exorcism—or at least a deep sigh of relief after long-simmering despair. It also acted as an exercise in civic duty for a hundred thousand or so likeminded […]

28 Years Later Review: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland Go Medieval

The first and only time I visited the Catacombs of Paris, I was overwhelmed by the ignominy of the mass tomb.

Why Steven Spielberg and E.T. Made How to Train Your Dragon’s Big Emotions Possible

For Dean DeBlois, it all started with the eyes. Even as a working class kid in the Canadian suburbs of Quebec—which is about a million miles away from the life he would lead as an artist and filmmaker, writer and director—he could immediately understand the innocence of an extraterrestrial’s gaze in Steven Spielberg’s seminal 1982 […]
