I got a call from my girlfriend. "Did you see it?" I immediately knew what she meant. It was April 9th, the day the trailer for Nonnas dropped. You need to understand the hype. In my house, movies about a group of old ladies going on an adventure are the epitome of cinema. There was a time when I used to be embarrassed by it, but I've learned to embrace my love for these movies (maybe even films?). And the trailer? Amazing. Four older ladies. This is, by far, the optimal number of old ladies the

Chances are, unless you’ve fallen down a “Top 100 World Cinema” rabbit hole or hoard Criterion DVDs like trophies, Pather Panchali might not be on your radar. I’m not above it—I fall into the latter group. I’m Indian, and Bengali at that, and while I always knew who Satyajit Ray was, I didn’t really watch his work until embarrassingly late. When I finally did, the 1st thing I realized was how grounded the film is in its portrayal of poverty in India. And not the kind of poverty we usually see in
A public bus isn't the most pleasant place at the best of times. I would know, I take it every day. No elbow room to be found, constantly jockeying for position, listening to someone's too-loud phone conversation or trying to avoid eye contact with the weirdo sitting across from you who smells like mothballs and is wearing gumboots in May. Nobody wants to be there. Now imagine you and everyone around you is trapped on board. Someone is yelling about how they are going to be late to work, someone
Bob Woolsey: I don't know if I agree with you. As you mentioned, there's Point Break from 1990 so Speed might not even be the best Keanu action movie of the 90s... What about The Rock, Con Air, Terminator 2, Face Off, GoldenEye, Mission: Impossible?

Spoilers are the worst. So much of the art of filmmaking is designed to take the viewer on a journey, usually via a well-crafted plot that has its share of unexpected twists and turns. In film school, you're taught how to follow structural beats, how to build tension and catharsis, and elicit a reaction from the audience. It's storytelling! That's what we're all here for. But spoilers rob the story of that impact. If it wasn't already clear, I hate spoilers. I hate it when things are spoiled for
After watching Sing Sing, I realized that high school really was a prison. Wake up, go to school, do my homework, eat dinner while my parents argue, go to bed, and wake up to do it all over again. It was not so different from the lives of Divine G (Colman Domingo), Divine Eye (Divine Eye), and the rest of the Sing Sing prisoners. And just like those inmates, I needed an outlet to free my mind from my stifling surroundings. As Divine Eye was focused on keeping his rep in the yard, so too was I fo
Depressed queer socialist... and cinephile!
There is nothing more meaninglessly inspiring to me than Eurovision. I don’t live in Europe, so I basically forget about it every year, only to suddenly remember its existence as it takes over the internet for a few days - and god what glorious days they are. Whether a song was particularly moving or (more likely) particularly bizarre, there’s always something worth talking about. Plus, by the time the dust has settled, I normally have at least one or two new songs to add to my playlist, so it’s
Rom-coms are my guilty pleasure films, don't tell my friends.

"Our survival depends on a peace treaty with Fungi." What if society collapsed and we learned how to take care of each other? What if the mushrooms were here to help us? "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind," said a man who sacrificed himself for humanity some 2000 years ago. Allegedly. We don't know whether or not Jesus actually existed, but we do know that his story irrevocably impacted the world. Joel is no Jesus and neither is Ellie, the main characters of the HBO series (the form
