[ad_1] The bit in Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘60s film “Pierrot le Fou” where Belmondo asks maverick filmmaker Sam Fuller, playing himself, to give him a precise definition of cinema has been quoted within an inch of its life. So, to preface with a paraphrase of Reagan, here I go again. Quoth Fuller: “Film is like a battleground … It’s love, hate, action, violence, death. In one word, emotions!” The four films I’ll speak about here could not be more disparate on a superficial level. But they are all ultimately about emotions. Emotions twisted, emotions turned over and over again, emotions running…
[ad_1] Field Trip – “Shaping Up”-I’m not exactly sure how many genres are blended here, but it’s a healthy dose of psych rock with some indie pop elements. It feels familiar and timeless in a lot of ways. I really like the way the vocal feels delicate in some places while taking off with more strength in other sections. The combination is a colorful rock dynamic that has flavors of 60s psychedelia blended with more recent indie pop production aspects. It’s a unique track and you’d be hard pressed to find anything else like it in music today. I can’t…
[ad_1] How is 2015 ten years ago? My daughter was born in 2015. When I talk about her with friends or colleagues, I always refer to her as a “little kid.” Well that “little kid” is getting close to middle school and she when I ask her to clean her room she does an uncanny impression of Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer. Like a great man once said, life moves pretty fast.So let’s stop and look around so we don’t miss it. Ten years is enough time to get a handle on what movies from any year are going to evolve from popular…
[ad_1] Hamnet is a great work of empathy and the best film Chloé Zhao has made by quite a wide margin. Adapted from the 2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell, who returns here as co-writer, the film serves as a lovely reminder of why art is important, how watching something can make you feel, make you understand, make you consider. The film’s plot is simple: young Agnes (Jessie Buckley) marries her village’s master tutor William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and they have three children––an eldest girl named Eliza (Freya Hannan-Mills) and younger twins Judith (Olivia Lynes) and Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe). Judith barely…
[ad_1] Caped crusaders aren’t always the valiant, bad-guy-busting greats that have been consistently showcased since the superhero genre made an appearance. In the past decade or so, some superheroes have lost their PG factor and have turned into TV-MA gold, delivering bloody trauma and insane amounts of violence. While the superhero genre is rife with awesome shows perfect for kids to enjoy, there are also quite a few series that are absolutely too disturbing and should never be seen by children. Some prime disturbing watches from the vast realm of superhero shows are The Punisher, which showcases a vigilante fueled…

[ad_1] chAMBER LANe – “Lost & Found” “Lost & Found” is the perfect self affirming anthem for our current mess of a world. The track is the product of an artist who is coming out of a mentally challenging time, and listeners are better for hearing it. They remind us a bit of Frank Turner in how they sing with conviction and truth while still having an everyday man quality. Beyond all this, it is just a solid banger of a track which will have you singing and bopping along. We need more bands like chaMBER LANe. Jillian Lake –…
[ad_1] Guillermo del Toro first voiced his dream of making a “faithful Miltonian tragedy” version of Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ back in 2007, just after announcing himself to the world at large with the haunting fairytale Pan’s Labyrinth. By that point he already had six feature films under his belt, but it was his spellbinding story of a young girl in Francoist Spain that truly lit the match – ever since del Toro has risen to become one of the most beloved and singular filmmakers of his generation, defined by his vast imagination, unmistakable passion and infectious enthusiasm for storytelling. It’s easy…
[ad_1] Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was born and bred San Francisco Giants baseball. Named after one of the most significant Giants in major league history––back when they were the New York Giants, a clever nod from writer Charlie Huston, who adapted his own novel for the screen––high school Hank leaned into his legacy with enough bravado to go pro, a surefire first round pick. But a leg-splitting car crash brought his athletic career to a screeching, permanent halt. Now, as a sensually disheveled 20- or 30-something drunk, he doesn’t let life in New York hamper his daily devotion to the…
