Molly Ringwald Calls ‘The Breakfast Club’ ‘Very White’

Molly Ringwald wants fans to forget about a remake of “The Breakfast Club.”
The actress, 57, dismissed the possibility of remaking the 1985 teen comedy-drama about five high school students in detention during a panel, “Don’t You Forget About Me: ‘The Breakfast Club’ 40th Anniversary Reunion,” at the C2E2 pop culture convention in Chicago on Saturday.
“I personally don’t believe...

Top Secret! (1984)

Top Secret!, 1984 - ★★★½

“Subversive” would be just one of many adjectives to describe the state of modern film, but another suitable one would be “bizarre.” Bizarre in style, propagation, messaging, principles or lack thereof, etc. Bizarre in how full of themselves films have turned out. The time wasted on such prevalent schlock (not the good kind) has been too long already that it’s been considered normal to...

The Karate Kid Part III, 1989 - ★★★

In 2018, Ralph Macchio related to Sports Illustrated, and three years later in a podcast interview with Sway, his disgruntlement with the final installment of The Karate Kid trilogy:
“Part three is NOT my favorite movie. All they did was make the first one over again, without any of the good stuff… I just felt for the LaRusso character, he never went forward. It felt like we were redoing the...

Everything is political under mass democracy. In a large, diverse democracy, perhaps everything becomes anti-white. This seems especially true in the media, and perhaps no country’s press is quite as hysterical as the United Kingdom’s. Currently, what right-wingers despairingly call the “Yookay” is undergoing...

The Vanishing White Male Writer

It’s easy enough to trace the decline of young white men in American letters—just browse The New York Times’s “Notable Fiction” list. In 2012 the Times included seven white American men under the age of 43 (the cut-off for a millennial today); in 2013 there were six, in 2014 there were six.And then the doors shut.
By 2021, there was not one white male millennial on the “Notable...

”Tarkovsky for me is the greatest (of us all), the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.” Ingmar Bergman
Across his filmography, Andrei Tarkovsky explored the emptiness of desacralized modernity to awaken a longing for pursuit of God and the spiritual life in the viewer. The Sacrifice was Tarkovsky’s second film...

Ignore ‘Anora’

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 […]

Tom Berenger summons more pathos as Thomas Beckett in this second direct-to-video sequel in a franchise that began 11 years ago than many mainstream Hollywood productions can muster in 20 films. He is allowed to because this is the last interesting installment in the series that is fortunate enough to have existed in a time when movies could be simple, unlike the subsequent films in the franchise....
