history in a slightly anti-colonial jacket
The story and acting was above my expectations, it wasn't just a propaganda piece. Even though the movie is unmistakably pro-muslim and anti-colonial, the french were portrayed honorably, and the algerians' senseless killing was not masked. Still, I watched it along with a few boomers, and their programming kicked in for the entire length, bleeding their hearts every time a french soldier did a cruelty...

Welcome to NYC, population: Black Women
I don't know why the usual suspects on youtube are raving about this because it starts off exactly the way you know it's going to [spoiler]killing off the white guy but sparing the boring cunt whose subplots were always agonizing as hell to sit through[/spoiler], and only continues to rehash the same old 'put down my mantle' throughline they did in S2. And if that was the only sin this pseudo-pious...

‘Dick Tracy’ at 35: No MCU Film Ever Looked THIS Good
Warren Beatty’s “Dick Tracy” (1990) arrived just when comic book movies were about to become a priority for major film studios.
This was due to the massive box office success and audience adoration of Tim Burton’s “Batman” (1989) and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (1990).
The thing about Beatty’s film, which was made while “Batman” was conquering the world, is that it doesn’t...

In the Lost Lands Review: A Blue Screen Gnosticism Disaster
One of the biggest lies people have told themselves over the last few years is that Dave Batista is a good actor. The former WWE champion turned actor is often called the best pro wrestler turned actor in the history of Hollywood. If you live in a world where Rowdy Roddy Piper doesn’t exist, you […]

Joan Didion’s time as a film critic comes up for discussion in Alissa Wilkinson’s new book on the essayist, We Tell Ourselves Stories. Needless to say, I’m fascinated by this segment of her career for predictably selfish reasons—we are narcissists, all of us—and was sad to see confirmed something I had suspected but...

Okay, quiz fans, if you think Europe is in trouble, think again. There is always Hollywood, the place where megalomaniacal, pompous, boastful, self-entitled, bald, untalented jerks are taken seriously. The embarrassing but saccharine cesspool that is the Oscars has just voted Anora—a sanitized, voyeuristic movie about a hooker—as Best Picture. I have not seen it […]

Disney forced to scale back Hollywood premiere over "Snow White" due to controversy surrounding... Gal Gadot (Hint: She's Jewish)
The fiasco that has become the live-action Snow White movie is finally about to hit theaters. Disney had a big Hollywood premiere planned that they are scaling down to a smaller premiere due to the controversies surrounding Rachel Zegler AND Gal Gadot. We're all familiar with the Zegler controversies, and if you think the Gadot "controversy" can't possibly be what you think it is... you'd be wrong....

I’m surprised. The bar can be set low due to too much of everything in culture these days. We oversaturate our diets and consume inordinate amounts of the things we like (and don’t like) – nothing can really be more true than that. If there’s anything all-time director Hayao Miyazaki has taught me is that simplicity and discipline in one’s goals can churn out delightful things, especially...

REVIEW: Daredevil: Born Again – Season 1, Episode 3, “The Hollow of His Hand”
“The Hollow of His Hand” encapsulates some of the biggest problems with Daredevil: Born Again, telling a story that should’ve been allowed to breathe in as short a time as possible and feeling weightless as a result. This is not the ever-unfolding story of Matt Murdock so much as seeing what Matt will do this week. There are a few good scenes, and I like seeing so much of Matt in the courtroom,...

She had absolutely nothing—no wealth, no stability, no future. And then, in a single moment, she had *everything*. But just as quickly as it came, it was gone. She blinked, and it all vanished. Yet, in that final, heart-wrenching scene in the car, she had it all again—something she never thought anyone could ever give her: *genuine interest*. Not pity, not lust, not manipulation—just pure, unfiltered...
