It’s not that it’s a horror film directed by a woman (which is depressingly rare in this industry). It’s not even the fact that when I first bought my ticket, I was … Continue reading

Ever since his 2011 masterpiece, The Tree of Life, Malick has strayed away from the historical fiction that made him famous (Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line) and moved into the category of… something else.

by Brett Rogalsky1993. What a year. Power Rangers stormed onto television sets everywhere and morphed their way into our hearts. Just a few short years later, I found myself watching them constantly. Whether it was the original series, Zeo, Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue, or the incredibly fun time of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: The Movie, I … Continue reading
by Stephen SheaLogan is the superhero movie that we’ve been waiting for. The X-Men franchise seemed rocky after the overstuffed disappointment of X-Men: Apocalypse, but Logan shines as not only the best Wolverine film, but maybe the best X-Men movie to date. And with the exception of last year’s Hell or High Water, this is … Continue reading
by Jake TriolaDirector Pablo Larraín is on a winning streak. He’s made three films just in the past two years and seems to have effortlessly made his way on to the scene. Recently, he collaborated with producer Darren Aronofsky to make his widely-acclaimed English-language debut, Jackie, which received three well-deserved Oscar nominations.
